I was wondering how often DRS is available on TKT. Are they available at the booth on the weekends?
Anyone know?

Posted: 5/5/05 at 12:40pmnot a good sign. a newer show like DRS shouldn't need to unload tickets on TKTS this soon

Posted: 5/5/05 at 12:44pmWell even shows with great reviews--Pillowman, Woolf, were up there...so maybe it's the economy. Piazza was up there too.

Posted: 5/5/05 at 12:58pmSo sad, I am worried for all of those shows.

Posted: 5/5/05 at 1:22pmDRS is playing to 85-90% capacity - Pillowman even better. I wouldn't worry about either show, especially after their expected Tony wins.

Posted: 5/5/05 at 1:23pmIf they pick up the Tony's that would definitely help. Is DRS really favored though, I thought Bee and Spamalot were expected to duke it out?

The problem is that ticket prices are so high.
700 Sundays is $251 dollars. It will probably take the Tony but who can afford that price?
I don't think many people.
Sort of a tragedy. Same thing for Spamalot.
#9re: How often is DRS On TKT?
Posted: 5/5/05 at 1:38pmSpamalot and 700 Sundays are selling out despite the price. 700 Sundays will close before the Tonys. In any event, a Tony for 700 Sundays would have no impact on box office.

They are getting $385 dollars for a ticket tonight.
I adore Billy, but that is insane.
Guess I will pop in the tape of "When Harry Met Sally"
YES YES YES.

Penguin, DRS may not win best musical (although I hope it does), but Norbert should get a Tony for his performance, and that's a pretty big category to win. I think the Tonys will help the show.
On the less positive side, I did lotto yesterday and I talked to a woman who said that they are thinking of stopping the lottery because it isn't popular enough. That doesn't bode well. I hope the Tonys bring some more publicity to the show.

Ack, No they must not stop the lottery, they need to advertise or something. I will have to go everyday now!
I hope DRS will win the Tony too, but I see you could have been talking Norbert.

Posted: 5/5/05 at 3:07pmShows like DRS and PILLOWMAN are on TKTs booths now because they aren't receiving as much hype as shows like WICKED and now SPAMALOT. But still even the very much anticipated shows like CHITTY and SWEET CHARITY have been TKTs, and virtually every show on Broadway right now has been available for purchase at the booths lately, so who knows...

Posted: 5/5/05 at 4:49pmStopping the lotto? Who did you speak with, because the only person I've seen do the lottery is a british guy...and it was popular on a miserable rainy Saturday evening...it's only 21 seat, so I don't know why they'd stop.

i went today, and no lotto....anyone know why??

Posted: 5/5/05 at 6:44pmThanks for the help guys! So is there a good chance of getting Orch seats at TKT? I just don't want to sit partial view. I got Wonderful Town from Orch seats from TKT.. But they were the last seats in the row - so you missed a few things. I hope I can get better view for DRS.

Posted: 5/5/05 at 6:44pmFrom the official website it looks like they don't do lotto anymore.

They did yesterday. I didn't think they were going to eliminate it so soon!
