Hills of California Ticket Prices

Hills of California is an incredible show. I saw it in June in London and it was the highlight of our West End visit. I am so wishing that we could all see it again (family of four) on Broadway but am frustrated by the ticket prices $350 for center orchestra. Are plays (we’ve spent that much for musicals) on Broadway generally this spendy? I think we spent 300 pounds total for the four of us to sit front row center in London and they weren’t rush tickets, just normal website purchase. Anyway, go see this play if you can! It’s wonderful

Foe the performance I am looking at Row K center orchestra is 268.00 and Row L Orch seats 1-3 are 195.00. DO you actually need to sit in the first few rows in the Orchestra center?

It’s been on TDF but both times the tickets flew by. I’m waiting to hear if they will have a MTC 30 under 35 deal for this just like they do for their other shows.

Things are alwys more expensive in NY than London. The rows you mentioned are considered cream of the crop, and will always be more expensive. If sales can't be made, prices will drop.

I don’t think it’s really a two level set. What’s above the main stage set (at least in London) were stairs leading to unseen hotel rooms. No action is played on the stairs, with the exception of someone sitting on them listening to a conversation at the end of what was act II in London. I’d have absolutely no reservations about sitting very close to the front for this production, assuming it’s staged similarly to London.

For those who are interested, they just added more 2 for 1 tickets for the first week of previews starting Sept 11. They sold out of the original lot, and now they have added more. That first week looks very well sold, it looks like they will sell out. Good for them, I hear lots of good things about this, looking forward to it.

The prices on Broadway were reasonable right after theaters reopened in 2021. However, for the past few seasons (and perhaps looking at how much money was lost for those sad 18 months), prices have skyrocketed and there are much fewer discounts. Like, if you look at The Outsiders tickets? Decent seats areinsane and completely unaffordable to most people out there. Most shows for the Fall are similar, in the $300+range for decent seats. I appreciate UK pricing but it's always going to be more here.Perhaps there will be a discount code but it will be for crappy seats, like most codes lately "


Thanks for the confirmation on the staging. Funny enough, after reading through the replies to this thread I was reminded of my audience rewards account and was able to use some points for two free tickets on a Friday night in October. Gambled on “select orchestra” seating and ended up with front row aisle seating on the left. I’m quite pleased. Being up close to see these phenomenal actors again is so exciting! Now I need to score two extra tickets for the kids, but they can sit further back! 😁

Thanks for the heads up! As another data point, I also wound up with a front row aisle seat via an audience rewards select orchestra redemption.

Thanks! Think it’s the same as the HOCDM85 code from earlier? I’m really hoping the show is a success but need to wait and see if there are any further discounts before getting tickets for the kids…

I think they're already gone, I went on earlier about 15 minutes after they sent the email and it was already slim pickings (didn't see any more than 5 seats or so in the last row of side orchestra)

It seems the hills have grown steeper on Broadway! Amazing show, but those prices make it feel like an exclusive hike. Worth the climb, though, if you can manage it!
