Ghost Quartet to return off-broadway this October — Page 5

I kept refreshing and was able to get tickets that freed up! Anyone know what the general admission seating is like?

Tickets still available for 3-4 different dates, including some all ages shows

The front rows of chairs on all 3 sides are marked reserved, but are not numbered-- would advise going a bit earlier if you want the best seat possible. It's 95 min, no intermission

Saw Ghost Quartet last night. I had a great time at Comet but it wasn't my favorite music. However, this confirms it- Dave Malloy is a genius. Super excited to listen to the CD.

I did find it a bit hard to follow so if there is a snynopsis online I'd encourage all to read that. Going in blind on this one was tougher than expected.

Would love to hear more reports, as I do see it this week. What I’ve read is getting me excited!

I agree with this, and to be honest it may even be worth listening to that song on the cast album before seeing the show, so you can absorb it better."



This is actually a really good idea. Normally, I'm a big advocate for going in blind (I did, and I had a really good time even if I got lost at points), but familiarizing yourself with at least this song is probably smart if you don't like being lost in shows.



On a separate note, I'm going to post here what I posted on Reddit in regards to seating. This was for an all ages show, so I don't know how or when they pass along the alcohol ("Four Friends", I imagine!):

Some advice on seating if you do manage to snag tickets: If you get there early enough to be one of the first people waiting to get in, there are a number of good spots to sit. If you're sitting on the ground, you'll probably get some interaction. Most of the interaction seemed to be in the section where I was (which was the section straight ahead when you walk in, next to the piano where Dave sits)- but really all the people on the ground got something fun to do.

If you have general admission or reserved seating, shoot for the middle for the best view. You'll have to turn your head to focus on Dave and Brent (as they sit at opposite ends of their square), but Gelsey and Brittain stay in the center and face forward most of the time. If you sit on the ends of the seated rows, you may get things to play with as well (dictated by whomever they please, it seems. There was a 9 or 10 year old girl there that was in the middle of the middle and she got quite the attention, lol).

If you don't get the middle, my section seemed good. Gelsey looked our way a bunch, but the glowing red exit sign was a bit distracting at points. Really, the area is so small that any seat is great.

Very true! I wish I had known this.

I did not see this, but apparently was still the person to snag it.
