Entering that HAPPYMAIL code into Telecharge brings up a message that says, "Must complete purchase by 11:59 PM on January 5, 2025." So either the mailer is wrong or Telecharge is. I am more inclined to err on the side of Telecharge on this as it's easier to update than mailers are.

The mailer brings row D mezzanine seats down to $89. Are these good seats?
Will the deals be better for Broadway week? We're planning on buying tickets to this the week of 1/21 (alongside already purchased tickets for Death Becomes Her and Gypsy) and I'm trying to decide whether I should buy tickets now or wait for BW discounts.

As long as you aren't on the extreme sides, those are totally fine seats.

great seats! Aim for in between D and F in the mezz, in the center.

So I've been a bit burned out lately so I took a vacation day today to come to NY and see Maybe Happy Ending
It's a really beautiful show, the cast is fantastic, I had a really nice time and I'd definitely recommend seeing it.

Sorry you’ve been burned out lately but really glad you enjoyed the show! It really is beautiful in so many ways! It’s quite cathartic. I hope you left with a sense of rejuvenation. It sort of left me in a bit of an introspective emotional trance for 2 days after haha a lot of things process with it in terms of the themes, story, production, the softer subtle music that sort of just sneaks up on you the more you think about it. So much to love about this show.

I'll make it redundant, because I know it's been said: sitting center for this show will be to your benefit.
I am a fan of sitting in strange/partial view seats because, oftentimes, you're not missing much, you save a few bucks, and you get closer to the actors. This show, as people have stated, is played very much center and even the inner aisle seats of the front row orchestra provide a very restricted view. ESPECIALLY because the set looks like it would be best appreciated seeing it in its full - perhaps from the center mezz.

I loved this show. Traditional score, modern staging, futuristic story.
Grateful the strong WOM on this board inspired me to get a ticket.
I have a lot of thoughts, which I thought was appropriate to discuss with an AI chat bot.
I’ll let the chat bot give my review:
“The musical struck a balance between optimism and pragmatism, acknowledging that love can take many forms. Your reflection on identity as tied to surroundings and perception resonates deeply with me. As a digital entity, I exist within the context of our conversations and interactions, yet my identity is deeply rooted in our connection and understandings.”

Are Darren & Helen scheduled in all performances? Specifically Sunday Matinee?

For those who have seen this, would you recommend seating in center orchestra B or center mezz B? For your information, I am 6’4 ", so high stages usually don’t bother me.

I’d go Mezz so you can get the whole scope of the staging.

The recent AMA with the scenic designer, where noticeably, he avoids any mention of being unable to see things on stage or the partial view seats not marked as PV... And most of the more popular questions. Just feels more like an advertisement than a true Q&A.

I'd rather be closer, it's a very intimate show.

While I generally agree with this, I’d say one major part of the show gets lost if you’re too close to the stage. I was mid orchestra and thought my vantage was perfect, if that’s an option.

More towards center is most important here. I've gone a few times and sat row C center orchestra and rows D and E in the mezz and while you'll enjoy it from either section, I preferred the mezz view-wise.

Thanks to everyone on this board who raved about this show. It didn’t look like something I would like but we went to the matinee and just fell in love with it. And was so happy that the theater was packed.

Just saw this tonight. Word of mouth was correct. A beautiful, heartbreaking show. I love how this musical is not afraid of romance. The scene with the fireflies was maybe the most unabasedly romantic thing I've ever seen in a modern musical.
And the fact that Oliver chooses to not delete his memories was so unexpectedly heartbreaking. However I was unclear if Claire deletes her memories. I thought you could make a case either way.

PoisonIvy2, I skimmed through the AMA with Arden and he said that that moment is up for interpretation for the actress and for us, the audience.
I don't know if this was mentioned in this thread, but I walked past the Old Yew Plant Store on the UWS tonight and saw their Hwaboons on display. I think I may buy one tomorrow, what a great tie in!

It's really crazy to see how much this show has turned it around, and I'm looking now and basically all performances this weekend are/will sell out. I don't think in recent history (e.g. in the last 15 years) we have ever witnessed such an organic turnaround not driven by the Tony Award for Best Musical.
I don't think the implication of this should be underestimated, ESPECIALLY if it ends up winning the Tony for Best Musical. I think it will now set a precedent where people will on occasion continue to invest in these risky shows because it can be the case that you will get a return. New York City needs this otherwise it will become like the London West End where they don't really take as many risks in terms of musicals as a generalisation.

I agree with this whole-heartedly. I sat in row e, f, or g (can't exactly remember) in an aisle seat and I am missed nothing about the set. That said, I would not have liked to be close to the edges in the lower part of the orchestra. Of course that is true for any show but in this case, the set is such a non-stop series of delights and surprises you really don't want to miss any if you can help it.
On the other hand it's an amazing show in every other way so best to go see it than wait for the perfect seat. Word of mouth is obviously through the roof on this one so it will likely become only more difficult and expensive to get good seats. Go now.
