Could it be that they're holding them for Tony voters?

Nothing on StubHub or SeatGeek when I checked.

Previously more than a hundred were available for every performance this week."

There were only a handful for the final on Sunday and that is what I saw when I looked at the weekend dates. Very few for the entire weekend. Not sure when you saw "hundreds" but this was on Monday when I grabbed for the final.

I was looking at Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and when I checked more than 100 were available for each of the four performances during that span. I did not check for the closing weekend's performances.

The rest of the run appears SOLD OUT.

I tried setting an alert on the Theatr app...got one hit from a person selling a ticket for $2,431. LOL. No single piece of entertainment that has ever been made in the history of the world is worth that price. Absolutely insane.

In its final week, this just broke the Studio 54 house record for weekly gross with an intake of $1,212,949.

I somehow managed to see this a second time right before it closed, and IMHO it's one of the great productions of the past decade. Absolutely riveting adaptation, acting, and directing from start to finish. Give it awards and maybe even adapt it into a feature film.

I loved it but I wouldn’t say it blew my mind. I enjoyed Liberation and Practice more than Oedipus.

-- Oedipus is a story about fate and hubris, not a political thriller, and Icke's adaptation was unconvincing. I expect Mark Strong, Lesley Manville and Anne Reid will be remembered come awards season -- all three were excellent -- the rest of the cast were not on the same level, but I think that has as much to do with the writing as anything else. Glad I saw it, but it didn't bowl me over."

The rest of the cast had far less to do. The writing is excellent, smart and Icke's adaptation is all the things you mentioned AND thrilling -but is not a "political thriller " it's set during the last hours of a political race but has very little to do with politics. It isn't centered on high-stakes power struggles, where the fate of a nation, institution, or the world is threatened by corruption, conspiracy, espionage, or terrorism. But it is written smartly suspenseful. The audiences I saw it with were enraptured and shattered by the end.
