Book it to the subway and it should be totally doable, assuming the subways are running smooth (which isn’t always a safe assumption).

I was able to make this exact show combo when it was at city center, it’s definitely possible and I got to Titanique with about 20 minutes to spare.

Do we think think we will get a cast recording from this version?

After Mattress, take the N/R/W/Q train from 42nd and broadway to Union Square. should be about 15 mins door to door if subway is running smoothly. If this is a weekend def check for any subway service changes that could effect the subway.

Yes, though it started at 2:10 pm the day I went. Titanique usually is 10 min late as well.

updated rush report for those interested.  I arrived at about 8:20 this morning and was #1 in line.  #2 person arrived closer to 9am. by 10am there were only 5 people queued up. I tried todaytix at 9am and was told rush tix were all taken. TT probably has very few rush seats.  TodayTix rush/lottery is such a gimmick.

The friendly box office lady said clearly "rush seats are in the second row of the ORCH." I said that's great i'll take 2.  Got center orch row B. $90 for the pair.

Show opens on Monday, and i'm sure the show is frozen and likely this is a critics performance.

I saw this last night after loving it at Encores! earlier this year. Somehow, this has become even more delightful in its move to Broadway! The performances, which were already great at Encores!, have become even stronger and funnier. Daniel Breaker, Anna Gasteyer, Will Chase, and Brooks Ashmanksas are all wonderful replacements. Sutton's comedic chops and timing are even better than they were. She really makes Winnifred her own. Michael Urie remains the true MVP of this production, though. He is an absolute riot.

Lear deBessonet is a master at mining and coaxing humor and shaping genuinely funny performances - she did it with Into the Woods a couple years ago, and she does it again here. The physical production is pretty much the same as Encores! with some slight upgrades (a paint treatment on the deck, an automated track for some set pieces, and some enhanced light cues). All in all, this is just such a FUN night out. It's great for everyone of all ages!

Aw, this was so colorful and fun. Loved the costumes, sets, lighting and everyone looked fantastic. How could anyone review this show without mentioning the brilliant Nikki Renée Daniels is beyond me! It was so good to see Will Chase again, I always miss him when he's not on Broadway. I feel like I've seen Sutton so much this year, and I'm so glad she is back to doing live theater, that sad Younger period when she was too busy was the worst. Michael Urie is just the cutest and his chemistry with her is the most adorable thing ever. I loved that the audience ranged from like 8- 80 years old. Charming and perfect, which is what Amy was going for. 

I was surprised Ana Gasteyer got so few laughs. I thought she would be much funnier considering how much of a standout on SNL she was. She flubbed several lines and just wasn't all that great for me. I think she's still settling in. 

What a great time at the theater. Order a Dirty Shirley and don't miss it!

I would bet that we will.  With this cast, I can't see how they would miss the opportunity.

Her TV work is quite fabulous, including the work she did on THE GOLDBERGS and AMERICAN AUTO.

Not trying to be snarky...really...but did Sutton get the same "work" as Carol?
