It would win against all the other garbage they are bringing in. But, as you and J said, it's going into the Roth so it's moot.

you guys are never gonna believe this.

I LOVE their schedule, especially the Tuesday matinees.

First preview is tonight! I was able to snag front row via TodayTix Rush. Anyone else going?

Went last night. I think it goes without saying that the show itself is absolutely perfect in terms of its construction and its content. Brian and Nygel are doing absolutely amazing work and I remain in awe of what they accomplished with this show. (Especially Nygel, as he was fighting through a bit of vocal impediment last night due to lingering illness). There were also some hiccups with the live mix for the opening number and both guys played it off with absolute charisma.

HOWEVER, and this is a big however, the new staging is definitely an issue. Whereas at the Minetta, every seat was pretty much full view/unobstructed, here, the partial view house right seats are VERY obstructed - and you have to sit at an angle most of the show to watch it. Of course, the performers spend a good chunk of time in the visible field of view. But this new staging now put the obstructed aspects (mostly Nygel’s early songs) up as a projection on the stage right wall with the same psychedelic filter as other projections. Another downside is that this zone is also directly in the path of some very bright strobe/spot lights and so I did get hit in the eyes more than once. I would be wary of purchasing any seats numbered with even double digits.

Papered? The first week of previews is virtually sold out.

I think it may just be best available. I played the rush (for comparison) on TT this morning and they offered me D3, which is left side near to the center.

I did raise a hackle with TodayTix though because the ticket at no point was marked as partial view and, considering I had a disc replacement in my neck about a month ago, if I knew my head was going to be turned for 90 minutes, I might have passed it up and waited for something better.

Apparently there were major tech issues at last night’s show. Brian Quijada posted on his Instagram story.

I don’t think you will have to rely on the projected screen as much. Usually sitting further back on a side seat gives a fuller view. If it were the double digit # seats, then I would worry a bit.

Brian Quijada just posted on Insta that, since both him and Nygel are headed to SXSW, both shows are going to be double understudy shows!

Alan Mendez made his debut in Brian’s track tonight, and Trent Lawson is debuting in Nygel’s track both shows tomorrow with Alan.

This is just as thrilling in its new home as it was at the Minetta Lane.

Innovative, original, and the last 20 minutes still pack an unexpected emotional punch. It's certainly the best new musical I saw last year (and so far in 2026). Don't miss it.

Two notes: my GOD, those seats are TIGHT. I literally have a crick in my neck this morning from sitting so uncomfortably - and I'm not particularly tall or heavyset. Second, it did seem like the majority of the seats in rows A-D on house right are indeed partial view. My view in F8 was perfectly clear, but I wouldn't sit much further to the right, if you can help it.
