INTO THE WOODS Reviews — Page 21

Thanks for posting the clip, I don't keep track of what is on daytime TV.

Other than Patina Miller, it seems to have lost a lot of the star power it had in the summer so I'm not surprised sales are down.

Most New York locals have probably seen it already & are now looking at all the new shows opening.

I know for myself, when I am not on a vacation, during my regular work week, I only go out to shows Saturdays. Even a Friday night feels like too much effort. Even stadium concerts mid-week I will pass on if it is someone I am only slightly interested in.

Honestly not sure how most Broadway shows do it trying to fill a house 6 days a week.

I will be in the city the weekend of 11/11 and thinking I want to catch the 11/12 matinee. Can anyone recommend the best way to get good seats without having to pay full price? I see this is on TKTS alot, does anyone know if the seats have been good?

Smart to start rush tickets.

They're lovely together. Never saw Sebastian or BDJ before so can't compare, but they have nice chemistry and sound terrific.

I personally preferred Patina Miller, but I didn't hate Montego Glover either. I think Patina adds a bit more depth while Montego plays the role a bit more broadly, especially in the funnier scenes.

They do have rush tickets now, so that could also be an option for you. Before they announced their official rush policy, my friend was able to get front row side orchestra tickets for $69 just by walking up to the box office a couple hours before the show. The stage is fairly low so she had no problems with it (she's 5'3'', though admittedly she'd seen the show before so she didn't mind being off to the side, but I don't think it ever gets too obstructed (unless you're on house left, where the narrator's stand could get in your way).

Has anyone tried both rush and lottery, and can advise on best route to take? If the lottery is digital and I don't have to be in Times Square at 10 to get the rush seats, I'd prefer the digital lottery. Again, trying to snag the best seats possible this Saturday so just wondering if anyone has a strong opinion.

Or do I just head to TKTS booth?

Not sure where the lottery seats have been lately but I had a friend get orchestra L a couple months ago, so I don't think they have specific seats set aside for lottery. Since it occurs a day before, you could always enter lottery to see if you get it and then if not just rush day of/go to TKTS

Sebastian is closing as the Baker. And The Witch is neither Montego, Patina or Heather.

I went last Monday (11/7) and the people in front of us and next to us all were lottery winners. Front Mezz Row B 1,3 and C 5, 7. Hope this helps. They were darn good seats.

I went in with negative thoughts about Montego, but was pleasantly surprised. She had some moments of "blank face" and "why am I here I should be catching up on The Crown." But otherwise she had some great moments and sounded fantastic. Stephanie, Krysta and Katy were just absolutely at the top of their game. I absolutely loved this cast.

But from what I am hearing lotto seats, for weekdays, have been very good.



I hope this helps.
