MACBETH Closing This Saturday, May 24

Posted: 5/21/08 at 7:14am

I just realized, MACBETH is concluding its limited run this coming Saturday, May 24th.

For some reason, I thought they were still going to be playing at Tony Awards time.

Guess not.

Anyway, there are three more days left for folks to see this show.

See it if you can! It's really a fascinating production.

I can't seem to obtain a ticket in advance, so I am going to have to miss it. I should have seen it a while ago. Ah well.

I am sure it was great!

I am so happy I was able to see this last week. It is a truely haunting production and I can not get it out of my mind. I only wish I could see it again.

For anyone that has not gotten the chance, go! Do the rush. Take whatever seat they have. This really is not to be missed.

I edited the date above.

It's odd that they're closing it on a Saturday evening.

Acting is My LIFE:

I will be at the Lyceum on 7.5.08 and am very excited for it!

I didn't get to see this. I tried this past weekend, but they were completely sold out. I regret not going earlier.

Oh jeez. Should I attend closing night of this instead of seeing ADDING MACHINE? I leave NY Sunday so it's one or the other!

^ Easier said than done. I was at the box office this morning, and the remaining 3 shows are all sold out with the exception of premium seats tomorrow night. Premiums tonight and tomorrow afternoon are gone though. The only thing they have left for tonight are $100 partial view in the orchestra.

Oh I thought I read about a rush, perhaps there isn't one.

They do have one, but because the shows are completely sold out of normal seats, they aren't doing rush today or tomorrow.

Glad to hear the show is so popular! Hope they have a great last couple of performances.

I would say take the partial view seats in the orchestra if there are any left. I had partial view C6 & 9 and while the sink somewhat blocked the stage, they were fantastic seats 90% of the time.

Got thru the cancellation line tonight, thank goodness. Missed some seconds of the top of Act I; fabulous orchestra row H seat anyhow. Overall, a wonderful experience. Catch the last two performances later today

PS. They did student rush tonight, apparently. A guy I know who works at my school got a seat around 6pm, after being offered partial view full price and premium seats. When he asked if they did have student seats, they said "one," and he got second row mezzanine- all the way to the left side facing the stage.
