NY Times Season Preview

Anyone know the dates of the season preview - presumably either the 8th or 15th edition.   I’ve Googled around and can’t find anything.
I used to be like a kid on Christmas morning when this got delivered. Before the days of social media and boards like this, this was THE source for the scoop on all the fall shows.

Usually is the week after Labor Day if I recall correctly?

Haven't seen it on print in a while, what is the ad spread even like without Rudin and with the waning power of print newspapers? Nobody’s doing a double truck these days, right?

Last year, articles destined for the print A&L Fall Preview started appearing online more than two weeks in advance. I don't see anything yet online this season.

Articles labeled Fall Preview showing up online now in their Arts section. I'm betting the 15th for print.

Great news. Even though the listings are available on line,its nice to read it in the NY Times Fall Season Preview in print.

The rest of the Fall Preview is up on-line. Though like most of you, I’m waiting to buy a preview edition of the Sunday Times tomorrow.

Thank you, Smaxie.  It'll be a struggle to not read the content on-line before then!

Thanks for the links MezzA101.  I hadn't yet read anywhere else that Marisa Tomei was doing something this fall.

After reading the spoiler-ish comment about Swep Away in the NY Times Fall Preview article I did a bit more research.   The show uses songs from an album by the Avett Brothers inspired by a very famous shipwreck that resulted in a court case that is taught to almost all law students.  (I won't spoil anything,  you can do your own research.)  But it sounds like this show is NOT an exact retelling of that case/story, but a fiction inspired by it

I only have time to see 9 shows when I visit in November, & have already committed to 8. I re-read previous threads about the tryout productions of Swept Away.  With only one slot left I have to make some hard decisions. I decided that for me Swept Away sounds like it could be too depressing.  If it does well, I will likely see it sometime in the future. But for this trip it is off my list.

I have also crossed Maybe Happy Ending off my list because the night I have left to fill is November 12 - that show's opening night, and tickets for that performance are not on sale.

Now I'm trying to decide between Romeo + Juliet, Death Becomes Her, & We Live in Cairo off-Broadway. That has very inexpensive tickets available.   Another show with very inexpensive seats still available is Stereophonic,  but it doesn't really appeal to me.

Spoiler Alert --- R+J is also depressing.

Glorious 5-part A&L delivered with the Saturday paper. Theater headlines the first section and spills into the second. Lots of ads. For those outside the distribution of the print paper, worth borrowing the credentials of a friend with a print subscription to view the Replica Edition online tomorrow.

There are a couple places here that bring the West Coast edition up from Seattle.  Gives me a little quest for tomorrow afternoon.

Posted: 9/16/24 at 4:27pm

Picked up.a copy of the West Coast edition yesterday.  Just curious if the NY edition has the big full page ads for the LA Philharmonic & The Getty Centre?

I noticed one small ad for the Paul Taylor Dance Company's performances at the Koch theatre with a discount code listed in the ad.  When I looked at performances online & tried the discount code it came up as not working.

This morning I called the box office for the show I had booked for Saturday night & talked them into letting me exchange for a performance earlier in the week.  It was the show playing at that one theatre where they really don't like to do exchanges.  IYKYK.  But the date I changed to has so few seats sold right now, I'm wondering if it will even stay open or close early?

Anyways this gives me even more things to choose from again since that Saturday will also have performances by The Wonderful World, Maybe Happy Ending, a Kacey Musgrave concert in Brooklyn,  John Adam's conducting the NY Philharmonic, a performance by Bill Maher at the NY Comedy Fest.... ok no way in heck I'm seeing Bill Maher.   

One of my criteria now is the show should start at 8 instead of 7 so I can fit in one of 5pm off-Bwy shows.
