I agree about the terrible article but this show by Simon McBurney is actually supposed to be mind-blowing (audience members wear headphones and it involves binaural technology - 3D audio). Ben Brantley gave it a rave in London - http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/27/theater/review-you-see-the-encounter-with-your-ears.html?_r=0

In fact, did she just break the news that it is coming to the Golden (where Eclipsed is right now)? I don't see any articles about this yet...

$2 million dollar ticket sale for Natasha and Pierre is ok, but its not anything to scream about from the rafters- they did emails to Groan's entire fan base (which is a substantial list from what I heard) as well as the telecharge e-blast list and email list from the show. $2 million is probably about 3 weeks of sold out shows- again, nothing to sneeze at and its a great amount to have in the bank, but with the high ticket prices, I would have expected Groban to have pulled in more-
