Hugh Jackman in The Music Man — Page 21

I also caught that pricing structure before it was replaced with the old one. As the Group Sales Page is simply for booking of reservations, can they be bound by that structure that was removed? Last week, I noticed that TELECHARGE itself was testing format Pages for Ticketing Page/SeatingChart/Schedule of Prices...but removed them a day or so later. Maybe they were just making sure that on first day of sale, the system is working very efficiently. Btw, even the last day for booking shows keep changing at Broadway Inbound. Anyway, it is not long to go - by Sept 14, things will be all set. The announcement can be expected any day now. The Winter Garden has been rumored for some time now. It fits very well with the grand plans for this revival ( as Scott Rudin has shared with The Hollywood Reporter). It's now around 6 months since the revival plans were announced in March.

I would assume that the 9/14 sale is the AMX pre-sale.

Did Rudin skip an AmEx presale for Hello,Dolly! and To Kill A Mockingbird?

Thanks!

Yes.

The AMEX presale is not what it used to be. Back in the day, AMEX usually forked over the money for a full-page ad in the NYTimes advertising the presale, but they don't do that any more. I believe they partner with Audience Rewards now.

The purpose of a presale is to encourage people to buy early. When you have Hugh Jackman in THE MUSIC MAN, you don't need any incentive for people to buy early. A presale also stops SR from being able to flaunt that he broke his own record for the highest-sales-day in the history of the Shubert Org (like he did for DOLLY)."

Thanks. Rudin is playing it very close to his chest - no theatre announcement yet. He has to make a grand announcement in the next few days. There is also interest from overseas and people are asking what time the general sale starts so they can figure out what time zone to be ready at

So tickets will be sold without a confirmed theatre? How will that work, and has this been done before?

I could be wrong, but --

Presumably Hugh's tweet is like an advance notice ( he does that for some of his film projects, such as when a trailer is about to drop). I wouldn't be surprised if the producer's office makes the official announcement ( theatre specified) before September 14!

Both Twitter and Instagram ads specify TELECHARGE."

Thank you.

That is incorrect. AMEX still pays for those full page NYT ads quite frequently.

Maybe her daughter?

Jennifer Garner is WAY too old to play a teenager.
