It's definitely not a musical, but I do wonder if they might still find some sort of an excuse to still have her sing. A lullaby, a love song, or a performance of some kind.  Plenty of plays have a done it.

What exactly would you consider a reasonable price for tickets for the Broadway debut of a Golden Globe winning actress?"

I guess it depends on how much she paid the Foreign Press Association for a Golden Globe

What exactly would you consider a reasonable price for tickets for the Broadway debut of a Golden Globe winning actress?"

To add on to this, I looked up Kit Connor after this production was announced and he's apparently incredibly popular (has triple the amount of Instagram followers that Rachel has) and he won an Emmy.

That being said, I'm not expecting the prices to be insane.

My daughter just texted me about it. She’s on the West Coast, but she’ll be up.

These two definitely have big followings, but their audience is young people and that's not your typical Broadway-going audience, so I can't see them demanding crazier prices. I'd guess $50-$250."

I think comparing awards is missing the mark here. These two actors have created INCREDIBLY strong fan bases. There are certainly mixed results with things beloved by younger fans. But, I think the combination of the Heartstopper/Kit fandom, Hunger Games/Rachel fandom, the fact that it's a commercial and not non-profit production, and the fact that it's in a significantly smaller theater will result in comparable, if not higher, prices to McNeal.

I acknowledged that they have big fanbases, but I stand by my $50-250. We’ll see.

Zelger & Connor probably signed so many NDAs and contracts about when to market and advertise this production on their social media 

Simply on aesthetic terms, it's interesting to note the Holland/Lloyd version's art is emphasizing the violence and tragedy while this version (as seen above) is emphasizing the romance.

Therefore you are.

Is there a link somewhere for the pre-sale? Broadwaydirect? Telecharge?
