Expecting strong reviews here, can’t wait to see this in June.
Slick, stylish, well-acted, and enormously entertaining. A great way to end this impressive season of London imports.

This might be the first. I am now torn between Network and Ink.

Time Out NY is negative. Interesting that Adam Feldman opted not to review it. I was looking forward to his thoughts.

The Wrap: Ink’ Broadway Review: Rupert Murdoch Gets Hit With a Puff Piece
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thewrap.com/ink-broadway-review-rupert-murdoch-gets-hit-with-a-puff-piece/amp/
Variety: As Murdoch says in the opening scene, “Only thing worth asking isn’t ‘why’, it’s ‘what next?’” It’s the “what’s next” that hovers over the vibrant yet unsatisfying play like a dark, disturbing cloud.

Hollywood Reporter: Graham's storytelling instincts too often get dulled here, and Goold's frantically busy direction can't disguise that.

Bought my $30 under 35 ticket last night for Friday! Excited to see this show! London tends to “over tech” their shows and I kind of love it!

Hmm, I really expected all-around strong reviews for this considering the attention it got in London. I, for one, found this to be rather boring, messy, and thin, with only a few moments really hitting home for me (albeit with a gorgeous set and a good performance from Jonny Lee Miller). Still, I thought I might’ve been in a tiny minority.

if I was a totally non-theater type looking to see a Broadway show, and I opened the NYT website to see what they recommended, I would find 2/3 of current shows as "critics picks"- the term has no meaning.
while i didnt love this, it is INFINITELY better than Network, and unless I am forgetting another well reviewed new play, it will likely get a Tony nomination. Still think this is a race between Ferryman and TKAM, and i am pulling for the latter, which was near perfection.
Had purchased a ticket for Friday night back in March. Apparently, my order was cancelled without any sort of notification. Row AA Seat 102 of the Orchestra. Apparently that row was removed?.
Have not be refunded. Am I to assume that it has yet to process, or has my seat been reassigned? Anyone with any inkling? Many thanks.
I am presently very upset. Thrilled for the show, but furious over this predjcament.
^ That sucks. Have you reached out to the box office or the site you purchased from?
Sent an email to Telecharge. Will follow up with a call in the AM, I guess.
The same thing happened to me when I saw it last week, but when I showed up to the box office, they notified me that the row had been removed and that my new seat would be in row B (the new front row). You should be fine.

Thats infuriating. From a legal perspective, they have to either refund you fully or give you comparable seats for the same price. You paid for something specific (a certain seat at a certain show) and they can't weasel out of their obligation to honor that based on adjusted seating.
