"Producers of "The Neil Simon Plays" aim to get the word-of-mouth ball rolling early by offering half-price tickets to preview performances purchased by Sept. 6.

"Simon Plays," a double bill of Simon comedies "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound" that will play in repertory, will offer tickets to each play at $35 and $50 vs. the regular prices set to range between $65 and $100."

From Variety's article:

"Low-priced ducats will be available beginning Friday, the general on-sale date for all perfs. Previews for "Brighton Beach" run Oct. 2-24 ahead of an Oct. 25 opening, while "Broadway Bound" previews begin Nov. 18 and last through the Dec. 10 opening. Both shows play the Nederlander Theater."

I've seen the plays once. Having seen them , these plays, like most of Neil Simons stuff, never have to be seen again.

Similar to what was said about yet another revival of Our Town, before David Cromer got his hands on it.
