That's what her artistry looks like, which of course is not for everyone.
That said, this production was programmed to showcase her vision, which I personally love. Can't wait for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof next year.

I think it’s pretty obvious. Broadway is hugely more expensive so they would have to commit to a much longer run. And I’d imagine Mescal doesn’t have the time to do that.
Otherwise why does he allow the producers to cash in on his name like this
Oh well, at least the peasants will be admitted to the worst seats in the house, up in the Gods, looking down from the clouds."
I'm sure Mescal will be paid handsomely. Regardless of whether he gets a cut of the box office - you do realize his salary STILL comes from ticket sales, yes?
BTW....welcome to America. We're trying out this new thing: Capitalism.

I thought they actually valued the arts over there."
They do. When this production was off-West End at the Almeida theatre two years ago, tickets were less than 50 pounds. I have friends who watched that production paying 10-20 pounds each. They even had some seats that cost 5 pounds for folks under 25 years of age.

Yes, I'm aware - but I assumed the poster was insinuating that prices at BAM would be crazy expensive based on those. (and I don't doubt they will be.)
I love Mescal, I love Streetcar. I'm ok sitting where I can comfortable afford to.

I did, I had to wait thirty minutes to get in but I got fantastic seats for the date I wanted. The 20% discount paid for the money I spent on a membership.

Good luck!!"
Did you have to enter a promo code? I waited through the line and I can't move past a page asking for a promo code, which I assume is not my member number.
