What performances in August were effected? They just added two weeks."

Exactly. A week ago. They should have made decisions immediately. Meanwhile I'm trying to call the box office now and it goes straight to busy signal and then just ends the call.

So devastated. I've really been looking forward to seeing this show, bought my tickets in January and planned a hotel and everything to make it a long weekend, traveling from New Jersey. Maybe ill get to see it when it comes to Broadway.

They didn't extend an additional two weeks (beyond the original 2 week extension) because there are plenty of tickets available that they are holding back. If they decreased the prices, demand would increase. Charging over $200 is criminal for an out-of town tryout.

Probably, but last I checked (a day or two ago) the remainder of the JLP run is sold out, so it probably depends on whether they hold back tickets for whatever reason.

And to those with Amtrak bookings, I believe that while most tickets aren't refundable, the funds are reusable (like Southwest), so while you may be subject to a change fee either now or when you use it, you should be able to use most of the money you spent at a later date.

I'm going to try and move a day but I now have to find a hotel close to the original price I reserved in February, and try to change my Amtrak. All of this for nowhere near as good a seat as I bought during the pre-sale. Depending on what I get offered, I may just cancel and just spend a night in Boston sightseeing."



Thats awful. I can’t understand their thought process with eliminating additional shows after they’ve finally started the run (or shifting them radically timewise the same day). They already have to deal with the cancellations of those first previews, why compound it by messing even MORE people up down the line? Just a shame. Hoping you are able to sort everything out.

We had tix for the matinee on 7/29 which is now Opening Night . . . and now there's no matinee. Called them up, left our number for them to call back and had a very nice and slightly frazzled box office person move us from halfway back in the Mezz for the matinee to the 2nd row of the Balcony for opening night. Offered us Row A in the Balcony but we'd rather be in B on the aisle as we know row A there has no legroom

It doesn't make sense....I don't see how cancelling more performances (other than the early previews) has anything to do with the construction issue.

HOpefully I'll hear from Show Score tomorrow.

It sucks that the production has to push back opening with so many that planned trips around this show. I'm part of that pool - luckily our tickets are not until 7/14 and like others, we are pairing it with JLP.

Because of a few logistics issues, we've ended up with a pair of tickets for 7/14 - one for JLP and one for MR. I wanted to put them out to you who were affected first before offering them to the regular chat board.

If interested, PM me please. Face value (+fees) for:
7/14 2pm matinee of JLP, seat EE-2
7/14 8pm evening of MR, seat Balcony C18

Carmen

The only dates that don't make sense are any changes AFTER previews change.

Really? Those last rehearsals are often the most valuable. Timing falls into place, nuance is discovered; not to mention actual technical fluidity.
