Lincoln Center Theater to Revive RAGTIME at the Vivian Beaumont, Fall 2025 — Page 8

sppunk said: "Any idea how much a membership is saving off these tickets? The dates in November I am looking at have nearly all the orch main taken already so curious."

LCT has closed membership enrollment.

The cost of a membership is about $60, and the per-ticket member price is $67-$97.

That helps - a terrible worded question that was, ha! 

I paid the same for late November, and seats behind me are now going for $301.

Where the savings really add up is if you see multiple LCT shows during the year, including things in their smaller theatres.  Also the exchange/return benefits are good.  Last year after I read the poor reviews for McNeal, I was able to get my ticket refunded.

If membership opens up again, I recommend making the investment.

Pretty much all performances for orch center seats were sold. Wondering if they’re holding back tix or if members bought them in pre sale"

 

I have found every production holds back tix! Gypsy did the same thing and then boom the best prime center orchestra seats opened up just before starting previews then discount codes arrive! I always wait no need to buy 1st day!

I can never plan this far ahead anyway, so that trend is good for me.

And worst case, if I’m priced out this fall, I will just see some of the new stuff I missed on my April trip, catch something off-Broadway, and hope for an extension.

It is kind of strange to see a Lincoln Center Theater show on sale at Ticketmaster but I guess it increases access, hence sales. Be careful though, tickets cost more on Ticketmaster vs. Telecharge. 

Examples:

Orchestra J101 271.00 Telecharge vs 298.80 +27.80

Orchestra L305 $301.00 Telecharge vs. $334.80 Ticketmaster +33.80

LCT if you’re listening. There is an error in the lobby of the Vivian Beaumont.  On the North side of the lobby, on the 40 years of LCT timeline poster thing on the window, under 1994 it says Audra McDonald makes her Broadway debut in Carousel. This is false. She made her Broadway debut in The Secret Garden at the St James Theater in 1992. I would like to see this corrected by the time Ragtime comes in, don’t let this mistake persist, it’s embarrassing. 

If the display had stated that Audra had won five Tonys instead of six, people would be freaking out and demanding it be fixed. They should correct the wrong info.

Not nearly as embarrassing as your post.

Also why are you telling LCT through the BWW chat room?  Do they not have an e-mail where you can send your demand??

Are you sure? She has hosted Live from Lincoln Center there many times and she's also a graduate. I sincerely doubt that no one has ever pointed out that error? But, if you're sure feel free to email Juliana.hannett@lct.org to point it out to them.

Blow Gabriel is right. Audra’s Broadway debut was as a replacement Ayah in The Secret Garden. Her first Tony was for Carousel, so maybe that’s where the confusion arose when LCT put together the copy.

Rehearsals begin August 21, per the casting notice.

This week, there is a pre-production dance workshop featuring non-union dancers, though (a not-uncommon practice for the director and choreographer to work some things out before the cast gets in the room).

Errr, yeah, posting in this small forum is the way to correct it. Like you’re so important that LCT follows your online footprints diligently LOL
