All evening performances start at 7pm. Roundabout is expecting it to be well over 3 hours.

Saw LDJIN the last time around with Vanessa Redgrave. It was well over 3 hours long...and amazing. I'd bank on Jessica Lange to be fantastic in this.

Considering Lange has already played the role before, she had better be good...

You recall incorrectly. Through a simple google I located four reviews: NY Times (flat-out rave), NY Post (flat-out rave), Time Out NY (flat-out rave), and NY Daily News (not a rave, but certainly not mixed; positive). That is not "mixed to good".

I'm also trying to decide between these two shows for the first week of May. I was hoping to get center orchestra seats for LDJ with HipTix Gold, but do y'all think the cast's names are selling tickets already? Does Roundabout release tickets for the rest of us to buy later (like the VIP tickets)?

 

Maybe I should just go see Eclipsed instead?

Blackbird was awesome

Blackbird doesn't appear to be selling very well so it should be easy to get a great seat at a discount.
