I was curious if anything else had popped up for tomorrow and it's still just resale but $450 for the last row of that theater lolololol. I mean, good for them if they can get it but I'm guessing anyone willing to shell that out has no idea how awful the view from back there is.

Says shipping will resume on the 28th. So it seems like there will be no merch tomorrow or Tuesday. Maybe not most of the week? I am seeing it this coming week.

Saw some people leaving the Lunt-Fontanne tonight around 10:30 as theaters were pouring out after showtime. I can assume they got to attend a dress rehearsal. Bernie Telsey was one of them.

Everyone leaving the Lunt was gobsmacked and commenting on how incredible it was.

Approaching this with an open mind.

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

Not to put to fine a point on the ages of the actors vis a vis the characters: the life expectancy for a European woman in 1850s was 42, 40 for men. A half a century later, by 1900, it was only 50. In her late 30s, Mrs. Lovett was decidedly a woman of "limited wind." And jump ahead a century: we boomers remember when a Broadway play starring Julie Harris called Forty Carats was about a "middle-aged woman" finding love again. At 40. A desperate 38ish Nellie Lovett, surrounded by disease, famine, poverty, portrays historically accurate desperation. Her chances of remarriage: nil.

Everyone? Must have been exhausting to interview all those people for their reactions. I'm kidding. I'm thrilled for the positive buzz and look forward to reports from tonight.

Walking home just now, I passed by the theater and saw around 10 people lined up outside. Is there a rush policy in place?

Nothing has been announced- so maybe they are just hoping for the best? Or waiting in some kind of cancelation line?

Probably a cancellation line. Wouldn't expect SRO tickets sold until after it opens.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

It is if they're using birthdates to determine winners without disclosure (ie they're only allowing under 30's) but if its just to check if you're 18 and over thats fine. I still think it's odd no other Broadway lottery system does this.

EVERY Broadway Direct lottery (meaning alll Nederlander shows) uses this system. So relax.

Decided to try for cancellation as those last few resale tickets on Telecharge are holding steady at simply ridiculous prices.

Amazing how these resellers don’t lower their prices before a show anymore and end up just eating the cost of the tickets, rather than make back anything.

It’s very annoying! Yet another reason to hate resellers.
