Cat, I don't think you will regret it. I am seeing this production again tonight with TDF, but I saw this show front row at ART and it was truly thrilling. I cannot wait to return to this show!

Glad to see these reactions. The play has never been one of my favorites, but this sounds like a truly unique interpretation. Are there a lot of changes to the text?

$180 ish. I don't regret it. It will be the first show I've ever seen on broadway and the one that made me book my trip when I did. It's the one I've splashed out on and everything else I see will be with rush tickets or broadway box discounts.

Dave, you were lucky to get TDF seats. They were gone in a heartbeat! I wonder if there will be any more.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER - LAURA'S ENTRANCE/EXIT
Laura makes her first entrance and final exit through the couch. In her entrance, Tom grabs her arm from the cushions and pulls her through - the pawn in his memory game coming to life. It's beautiful, gasp-inducing and thrilling. In the final moments, she drifts back through the couch, the way she came, a memory gone forever.

The poster is not the only one who wanted to know. So I decided to post it here. Hence why I wrote spoiler across the top of my post.

I really wish I could see this production. I love the script, but I've never seen a production that truly did it justice.

"$180 ish"
Oh honey, that's too much. And I say this as somebody who saw this production twice.

I got a 50% off 6th row ticket at TKTS last night thirty minutes before the show.

Yeah, patronising me is not gonna alter the fact that that's what I paid or the fact that I don't care! I got it wrong though, it was $148!

I was there tonight and the most shocking thing is that all the actors have managed the impossible: they have somehow managed improved upon the perfection of the Boston production.
The Booth does seem to be favoring revivals with four characters of late, and like Virginia Woolf, all four actors are operating on such a high stratum that no feeble words of the English language could ever do them justice.
Nothing much from a design aspect has changed. The costumes are the same, the lighting and set are the same. The physical production does fit very nicely in the small theater and you feel like you're right in the living room with them.
We are constantly reminded that this is merely a memory play, but the characters all feel so REAL. Every detail is perfect and meticulously crafted by each actor. The shoulder slumps, the hand claps, the gaits, the accents, the laughs- it's all so perfect. So precise.
John Tiffany is brilliant and he makes an almost 70 year old play feel like it was written yesterday.
Zachary Quinto, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Brian J Smith and the one and only Cherry Jones will not be bested this fall.
This is the show to see and I will be returning as many times as I possibly can during the 17 weeks it is running. It doesn't get better than this!

Thank you for the reviews everyone! I am really looking forward to seeing this in a couple of weeks. For anyone who has audience rewards with at least 3000 showpoints...I just got a ticket for Orchestra row AA in the center for $36. The guy I talked to on the phone said there are still really good seats you can get with a redemption.

Just got home and wanted to give you all my take on it. I knew of the play but had no knowledge as to what it was about (and I was an English major in college!). For me, Cherry Jones and Zachary Quinto stole the show. Every moment when they were on stage, and there were many, I was completely enthralled. Celia Keenan-Bolger and Brian J. Smith were very good, but those two were in another stratosphere. This production is a study in true craft and I thoroughly enjoyed my first encounter with The Glass Menagerie.

Hey sgv123, how did you score Audience Rewards seats that good for that amount of points and dollars? Sent you a PM as well...I think you are better at this than I am!

I could yeah. I have to admit though...from the 3rd row in looked like it was a pit! I got closer and felt kinda stupid.
