Fun Home to Open at Circle in the Square on April 22nd — Page 11

I'm curious to know if they've tinkered with anything. The show as pretty damn near perfect at the Public, but maybe I had blinders on. Also wonder how they're going to configure the theater. I'd imagine a thrust type situation, but that would negate the "reveal" of the house in Act 2 to her friend. I'm kind of curious to see what this show looks like with a big, splashy Broadway budget.

I don't hate the logo. I had the people in the O though. Is that the dad and daughter? Just kind of hard to tell who it is? Could they not use the original Fun Home book art? I think that would be clever.

Sorry, about double post but I played airplane once, with my grandchildren who are 5 last night, and the joy in their faces was everything.

Just caught Friday's episode of Blue Bloods (episode 8:Power of the Press) and I was very surprised to see Alexandra Socha guest starring.

Previews now begin March 27th.

Can anyone post a picture of the seating chart?

Surprising it'll be in the round... I suppose we'll be seeing a very different physical production.

"I hope they mark the partial view seats-of which I expect a few hundred-as such."

You seem to think they are just doing the thrust staging, but letting people randomly sit all around them looking at their backs, rather than reinventing the staging for the space?!

The only thing this staging has done is make me unsure where I want to sit, so I didn't look for seats yet. May just wait until previews start to fill in those details.

Thank you.

Dreaming, you haven't even seen it, slow your roll on its demise, and stop freaking out.

That's hilarious. Luckily, I still have the 21 private messages she wrote to me about Fun Home even though I didn't ever ask for them!

It looks like only a few rows in the very back left and right sections at the top of the seating charge online go for the lesser cost of $75.

While I think the show and subject merit sold out crowds, I don't think it will have them out of the gate... only once it starts building word of mouth, and after any possible nominations, etc.

I'm waiting.

If you go by the premium seating configuration, though, it does seem like the 400s are all regular price, but they don't favor the 100s or 200s as far as loading the premiums in any specific area there... so if I saw a good aisle seat right where the 100s meet the 200s, I'd probably jump on it, but not for premium just yet.

And with the front row also being premium, I'm guessing the stage won't be all that high, unlike some shows where they build it up more (Godspell, etc.) If the front row were regular price with premiums behind it, I'd probably have a front row aisle ticket for it. But, it is an intimate space... I'll definitely check it out with an eye for Fun Home tomorrow night, after I watch Hugh gut his fish.
