It’s mostly star lead plays because that’s the only thing that makes money. I’m not mad at more plays, I’m mad at the lack of new ones. Broadway doesn’t need any more new musicals until we get composers who know how to write one again. Meanwhile, there are incredible American playwrights who never get produced on Broadway, it’s sad. Liberation is an aberration these days, mostly everything stays off Broadway.

Hi everyone, I’m planning a summer trip and looking to buy a couple of tickets to The Lost Boys. I have a few questions about the venue, as I’ve never been to The Palace Theatre before.
As others have mentioned, there seem to be a lot of tickets unavailable. However, I noticed a pair of tickets on the center aisle of the orchestra Row C (4th row) and another pair on the center aisle of the orchestra Row J (10th row).
I usually enjoy being close to the actors and really seeing their emotions, but I’m concerned that the 4th row might be too close for a show of this magnitude. I’m also worried about the seats in Row J, as I’ve seen conflicting reports about whether they are under the mezz overhang or not.
Of course, I would love to have better options between those two rows (or the front row mezz) and maybe those seats get released at a later date, or maybe not?
I’m hoping to get some feedback from this group, who might have been to The Palace Theatre before. Should I buy one of the pairs I mentioned, or wait to see if other blocks of seats get released? I appreciate your help!

You won't have a problem getting tickets. They are holding back the MAJORITY of the seats right now trying to get anything sold as its advance isn't doing well.

I was excited for this at the start but my hopes are now gone.

I’m curious why you feel this way? What specifically has crushed your hopes?

They need to do more promoting and have an "event" offering stuff and great deals on previews. It has worked in the past with other shows but considering the cold, and that previews don't start for two more months, it will be at least a few more weeks before that happens. They need to release a discount code by February at the latest though. It's true that people buy later, but tickets are not exactly flying off the shelves.

Most people I know who would be inclined to buy tickets are all taking a wait-and-see stance on this. It's just too big of an unknown right now for people to commit with these prices.

It is now available for a plethora of Wednesday performances (matinee and evening) on TDF Passport.

They've even started a podcast on the making of this musical. It's a good idea, but you have to get people interested in the show first.

They should focus on producing the show.

Absolutely. I'm holding one last slot on my April trip, and it will come down to this, Chess, or Fear of 13. But I'm waiting for early word on the latter two before deciding. Vampire musicals have a rocky history at best, so I'm biding my time to see if this one bucks the trend.
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more than it did before

They are still a little short on money but close enough that they can take a priority loan against the tax credit if they can't find the last couple of million. Let's hope not having done an out of town doesn't create a financial money pit for them.
