TodayTix is currently having a Black Friday sale. You can get good seats in row B in the mezz for $112 or row D for $77. I bought tickets for my mid-January trip. Hoping the show holds on for at least another two months!

Maybe if you want this show to survive, buying tickets at face value will help. They're getting better capacity (and I'm curious to see what today's numbers will bring) but they very much need to start getting tickets sold at full price to start digging out of their financial hole.

To be honest, I feel like a chump when I pay $150 for a middling seat and see that the average price for that week was like $44 (I'm looking at you, KPOP).

First row mezzanine seats have a warning “A safety rail momentarily blocks certain moments.” Is this significant enough to avoid those seats? Thanks for any input.

I sat in second row mezz and the people in front of me were leaning forward frequently, so I assume their view was obstructed.

Looked like a mostly full orchestra section, but I'm sure a sizable amount of papering came into play.

I quite liked the two new leads and the visual effects are $$$ but effective.

Two new leads?

I had previously seen a reading with the Atlanta helperbots.

No, Cathy Ang and Kenny Tran were the leads in Atlanta.

nope! this was put-in rehearsal.

I caught today's matinee via the surprisingly hard to win lottery. MHE is excellent. It's the best Pixar movie I've seen in years, if that makes sense.

I'm another person confused why it opened in the Fall, not the Spring. It legitimately could win Best New Musical at the Tony Awards, but the only way it could stay open that long was if it already had a Best Musical win to market.

New ad / commercial:

As per Reddit, this is being used on TV. The ad doesn't get specific about the plot, but plays up the critical acclaim. Perhaps that will work well for them, if some do find 'robots in love' to be a hard sell.

DramaTeach said: "My friend and I decided that the title of the show isn’t doing it any favors, and neither is the explanation of what it’s about."

As someone who adored MHE when I saw it, I do agree the title isn't great. Then again, it is much less generic than the working English title in 2017, "What I Learned From People" (if Wikipedia is to be believed) and the 2023 Korean film adaptation title, "My Favorite Love Story".

I did consistently call the show "Maybe Happy Endings" before seeing it, the real title only making sense in retrospect. Still not sure what a good alternative would be, maybe Chasing Fireflies?
