IMO, this is completely out of left field. But, good luck to him.

Has he done much theater before? I can't seem to find the answer.

He studied at the Annoyance Theatre in Chicago.

This is the most random casting news ever!

I'm pretty sure that's comedy based, despite the name. That's an improv company. I know he has a comedy background. I was wondering about legit theater.

Hm... Improv theater isn't "legit?"
By the way, Annoyance Theater offers basic acting courses, including dramatic acting.

Excited to see Jason and this play adaptation.
I noticed tickets are subscriber based. Is it tough obtaining general tickets? Any idea when these would become available?

VERY excited for this!!!! I've been a fan of his for a long time, and I'm sure he'll do perfectly well in this :)

To be fair, in most instances "legit" tends to mean "straight" theater. Not musicals, etc.

I don't know how tough it will be to get tickets, but they go on sale to the general public on 15 September. I'm considering this for my trip Thanksgiving week.

Dead Poets Society won't be "straight" theater?

I stand by what I said, which everyone is misinterpreting. Yes, straight theater. Improv comedy does not fall under that umbrella, IMO.

FYI, tickets are now onsale. Was able to grab a front row ticket for a Saturday night in November ($66)! Looking forward to this!

Wouldn't that name only work for a comedy troupe?!

I dunno, I see lots of annoying theatre.

Thanks! Just bought a second-row seat for October. I don't know how this show will be, but I'm willing to take the chance.

Thanks for the ticket sales heads-up - just scored 3 tickets 4th row Center Orchestra at $61 each. Boy, how I wish this was the price point for ALL shows. Super excited to see this and tickets are selling fast. I checked several dates and it was tough trying to get 3 tickets together so this night was a surprise. My plate is full that week right now: Chita at Carnegie Hall on Monday night (2nd row Center), Sutton Foster in SWEET CHARITY on Tuesday (front row DEAD Center) and Jason Sudeikis in DEAD POETS SOCIETY on Wednesday (4th row Center). The blessings of living in NYC.
