Oh wow. I thought it was a tech issue on my end. Hope they get this fixed asap.

The queue just resumed admitting people from the waiting room.

I was never put into a waiting room, but it took from 10am-10:47am for me constantly selecting tickets and then the site crashing when I'd try to check out. I was on hold on the phone most of that time too. Finally was able to check out and grabbed "cheap" seats for Sat night.

I tried for 30 minutes (no queue), and the system kept crashing whenever I selected a seat.  I ended up taking the metro to the box office.  They weren't able to print out my tickets because they were having system issues.  At least I was able to secure a couple of tickets.

FYI - there is now a 10% fee for tickets purchased at the box office.

I went back at it just now -- the site is now working fine and there are plenty of tickets left. Just not the ones I had in my cart two hours ago! Oh well

Peter Marks on FB today mentioned that he knows who's playing Nicely-Nicely but isn't allowed to announce it yet. Anyone else interested in seeing Chris Fitzgerald play the role?

Got mine as soon as they went on sale but man, it looks like subscriptions took an ENORMOUS chunk of tickets.

I ended up paying the $75 to become a member to pre-purchase.  Couldn't take a chance on this or Sunset Boulevard.

When do Sunset tickets go on sale? I'm not a member or anything, but I will give my first born and someone's to see Block sing/act one of my favorite shows.

I was able to get what appeared to be about the last Guys and Dolls ticket for the final Saturday two shows, ex-companion seats or what seems to be recently released extreme side obstructed view seats. Not great but I’ll take it. 
 

also booked tickets for Papermill’s Sound of Music and Rent, neither of which I’ve seen on stage, so it was an exciting (and expensive) day!

Any names swirling around for Spiderwoman yet?

None that I have heard, but based on the casting game so far this season, I'm expecting a genuine dance-heavy hitter like Olivo. An ambitious production team would probably pursue DeBose as well.

If anyone is interested, they do have a build-your-own subscription which can include Sunset and Spider Woman.  The catch is you have to buy 3 shows and Guys & Dolls is not on the list.

I bought my Guys & Dolls tickets, then got the other 2 plus 1776 as the third.

Guys and Dolls is sold out (or close to it) most dates, but I have one October 12 orchestra center seat posted in the Buy and Sell section.

Any update to the rest of the Guys & Dolls cast? They must be in rehearsals sometime soon.

The BCC shows at the Kennedy Center tend to cast big names in the lead roles and fill in the rest with local talent. They also have a short rehearsal window as the show is only for a weekend and “semi-staged” allowing for the cast to carry scripts.

Omg Rachel Dratch as Big Jule is fantastic.

That last Guys & Dolls revival didn't count, so can we get this to transfer by next Summer?

Any other word on casting for their other shows? I'd have thought they'd have cast and revealed who's playing Joe in Sunset opposite SJB by now.

I just posted two orchestra seats (row K) for the October 15 matinee in the Buying and Selling boards if anyone was still interested.

Looks like no one will be able to touch Faith Prince or the Zaks' revival in general.
