It is more likely that producers of other shows should worry about how this will eat into their ticket sales. This is the show that sold out before it opened off- Bwy.i It could be the snowball rolling over everything else.

So did Days of Wine and Roses. And Suffs at the Public last year. Selling a few hundred seats a night at Off-Broadway prices at venues with inbuilt audiences is not the same as selling out on Broadway. At the Shubert, they'll need to sell the equivalent of five Newman Theater audiences per show. Just look at what happened to 'Sidney Brustein's Window.'
It could well be a success, I wouldn't bet against Alicia Keys, but it's far from a sure thing. The reviews aren't selling many tickets. Also, I don't think the title works all that well for people from outside of NYC. Google it, and you'll mostly find stuff about Gordon Ramsey...
Since when has presale meant bargain? It's about access, not deals.
That being said, anything under a 100 these days IS a deal.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Disagree. Suffs Public presale was a huge bargain. I got great front side mezzanine seats for $58 each including fees. An Enemy Of The People had great $79 seats inclusive of fees during the presale. The Notebook was $58 for the last two rows of mezzanine. Charging $84-$94 for the last two rows of the balcony and calling it a pre-sale is ridiculous.
Edit: Merrily early presale was the only time when you could've gotten a decent seat at a price that made sense.

Front Row of the Balcony I'd say. Consider the Mezz overhang in the Orchestra."
Most def front balcoy. Check out a view from my seat Shubert. last row orch you see 1/2 stage picture as mezz overhangs.

Sunday in the Park with George
Front row of the balcony at the Shubert is extremely close to the stage, and you can very easily see faces. Only issue is having to sit up very straight or lean a bit forward, since the ledge is high. and you're looking down on the stage. Otherwise, it's a great view, and definitely worth the lower price. However, because of having to lean forward, any row besides row A is iffy.
I was just looking at event listings for Los Angeles & if anyone is there tonight & tomorrow, Camille A. Brown & her dance company are performing at the Wallace Annenburg Centre in Beverly Hills.
