They changed their schedule for that week. They added a Friday matinee and cancelled the Monday evening performance."

Thank you. I see that my ticket no longer appears in my SG account, but still no follow-up email. I hope I can just exchange it for a different performance."

If it no longer appears in your account, it means that you've been refunded, and will need to repurchase.

Thanks, Taffy. I purchased the original ticket with the discount code Spring2024 that you recently shared. I used the code AprilFools2024 that you recently shared for Sunset Blvd. I couldn't use any code for the repurchase of Illinoise, but I called customer service and they gave me a one-time code for $20 off. After I purchased the new ticket, I got an email saying that my money for the original ticket to Ilinoise was refunded. It all worked out, but the messages were a bit confusing. I know better now :).

It's the matinee since Vanya already had the evening set for its opening.

"The new Broadway musical will performances begin Wednesday, April 24 at 2PM at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44th Street), which will also act as the engagement’s opening performance."

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/theater/illinoise-broadway.html

"There will be a brief rehearsal period, but no previews; the first performance will also be the opening, which is uncommon for Broadway."

"The musical, with direction and choreography from Justin Peck and a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury, begins performances with a matinee at the St. James on Wednesday, April 24, which will serve as the engagement’s Tony-qualifying opening performance. Broadway reviews will be embargoed to Friday, April 26, a day after the April 25 Tony cut-off."

Thank you so much!

Is there a discount code for this yet?

I'm guessing they're rushing this to Broadway without previews because if it gets great reviews, it has a really good chance to win Best Musical. Its only competition will probably be The Outsiders. Very bad year for new musicals.

The box office should definitely be open now.



Have they announced a rush/lotto yet?

Was surprised to see last night that, while the light-up sign above the theatre now says Illinoise, the digital marquee is turned off and all of the physical stuff still says Spamalot. I understand that this is all being done very last-minute and the strategy is essentially "get ourselves open before the 25th and then figure everything else out." But, it's surprising to me that they weren't on it immediately to start switching stuff over.

Are there any codes out there for this one?

anything yet?

$45 rush through TodayTix

They just announced in person rush will be $45. They'll also have an online lottery through Lucky Seat.

Once further word of mouth gets out and the nominations pour in ... as they did for the Outer Critic's ... it'll be a harder ticket to get.
