INTO THE WOODS Reviews — Page 9

I’ll be back in NYC in October so this is great! I definitely might have to see it again! Hope they extend it even longer though!! Just wondering who will be in the cast for the extension!! Praying Patina can add a few more weeks!!

ACL2006 said: "Odd it's only an 8 week extension. Figured it would extend until the end of the year. Might have to do with casting."

I think they’re likely to extend again if demand is high.

Prices went up a long time ago, but it really depends when you go, and the extension has a ton of $69 balcony seats available on weekdays.

Has anyone sat in the front left orchestra? They have Row B seats for $79 listed as partial view next to $299 full view seats so I was wondering how partial they mean by partial view? I generally don't mind a partial view seat but I don't want a completely obstructed view if I can avoid it.

Those seats are blocked by the Narrator's podium. This is the view from B 13, which might not be the best for a first for a first viewing, but definitely good for a return visit. The review on A View from My Seat gave it 4 out of 5 stars, but I haven't seen anything about the other 2 seats:

Well I’m hoping this is only the first of many extensions. Seems strange to close in October before the holiday rush in four weeks.


My casting hopes for the extension:

-Brian Darcy James - Baker

- Sara Barielles - Bakers Wife (I’m thinking could be Tony nom)

- chip Zien - narrator

- heather headley - witch

- Gavin creel - wolf/prince

Adding in special alternatives for week or two runs from: Audra McDonald (witch), Christian borle (baker), Kelly ohara (bakers wife), Cheyenne Jackson (another return as the Prince/wolf), Bernadette Peters (narrator)



I really think this show has the ability to run a year cycling a who’s who in and out as a tribute the Sondheim

well there was already something booked for the fall as well

Any issues with extreme sides in the mezzanine? B has three seats for $50 cheaper and I can’t imagine they are obstructed.

I saw some pretty obstructed view posts from TikTok, but this was the far side of the balcony not mezz.

I can't link it right now, but there's a review on A View from My Seat of mezzanine C 30, which is considered partial, but the view looks great.

Edit:

Here it is:

Very smart business decision to only extend for a short period. Keeps it a limited run, so people on the fence might be more inclined to go again.

Since I had left this afternoon open on my trip schedule, I picked a ticket to see the matinee, & am on my way over now. Remaining lower mezz seats fir this performance dropped yesterday to $149.

I realize for some this is still be too much. Two young people in front of me in line at the bix office were looking for tickets to last night's show, & the cheapest available was $100 so they had to pass. Hopefully they'll get a chance to see it now.

Phillipa Soo is out for today's matinee. But Sara Bareillis is in.

Glad I got an aisle seat for the Sunday show. Let's see if I can still walk after this.🧐

Thanks for the info Taffy! I just bought that seat. It's my second time seeing the show (after seeing it full view, but very high up in the balcony at City Center), so I think it'll be worth the obstructed view to be so close!
