OOPS75 looks like it still works. That offers $75 tickets (though the fees bring it up to $85). The last few rows of the orchestra and mezz can be had for around $60 without any codes.

OOPS75 works! Brings it down to $85.75 with fees. Thanks all. I already told her to play the lotto but I think she has a party of 3 which gets tricky. And yes I agree, the entire theater seems to be available so you'd think they'd be dropping ticket prices to get people like her in the door, but......

Interesting because there’s playbill pictures from inside and Salisha Thomas is making her Cinderella debut.

Update- it looks like tonight is cancelled due to a lack of covers. Briga is out and so is Lauren Zakrin- the latter has COVID per her insta. Apparently Aisha was scheduled to be out tonight which only leaves Salisha to cover Cinderella and Snow which is impossible- as Lauren is also the other cover for both roles.

Yeah, for a show of this budget and scale, they seem to have an embarrassingly small about of swings/understudies.
Salisha Thomas has seldom been offstage since the run began so she’s putting in WORK

I really wish Britney would attend a performance, either with a crowd or in a private showing, and do some Instagrams. Spin around on stage. Do something!

I revisited this last night. I hadn't seen the show since early previews. While act 1 remains pretty much exactly the same, I have to say that I was very impressed by the amount of work that went into act 2 since I last saw the show. As mentioned "3" has been added for Justin Guarani. While the number doesn't really make sense or add anything to the show, it's nice that he has another number. Next to Jennifer Simard, he's the best part of the show.
Other than that, the second act just left much more streamlined and tighter. That being said, it's too bad they didn't touch the first act as it's a little too long and bloated. There are some very obvious omissions and cuts that could have been made IMO. Briga Heelan remains a major problem. She uses this sickly sweet Minnie Mouse voice that I don't remember her using earlier in previews. When Cinderella finds her strength and becomes "stronger", the voice is dropped, so it must be a character choice, but good god is it grating.
The rest of the cast works their tails off, and the choreography remains extremely impressive. Jennifer Simard chews the living daylights out of the scenery, and she is just absolutely hilarious. This is now the fourth show I've seen her in, and she never ceases to amaze me.
This is such an odd show, but I've had fun each time I've seen it. I'll be shocked if this is still around post-Labor Day. If you're looking for a fun night out and can get a cheap or free ticket, it's worth a visit.

Just here to say that I had SO MUCH FUN at this show tonight. I consider myself a fan of the Broadway ”classics” and was sorely disappointed at & Juliet (as a comparison). Somehow this one really leaned into exactly what it was - a night of pure entertainment. It made me super sad to see the empty seats; I think a lot of people are incorrectly writing this show off! I will 100% come back for another night of fun. As others said, Justin is a highlight - laugh out loud funny. But I disagree with the critiques of Cinderella - I thought she was great.

I had been on the fence about this show for a while, but finally got a TDF ticket a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed Jennifer Simard, Justin Guarini and Brooke Dillman, and I liked the choreography. (One of the reasons I was interested in the show - I'm a fan of the duo that choreographed/directed from their appearances on NBC's "World of Dance."
My unfamiliarity with Britney's catalog made me unaware of how much they were changing lyrics or the way the songs were originally sung. The bottom line for me was that I didn't like most of the score or how it "fit" (I use the word loosely) into the story. There were fun parts, but I don't think there were enough for me to really call this show fun or tell anyone to go see it - unless maybe they could get a free ticket.

I’m seeing this Wednesday night and cannot get over how many seats are unsold. 229 seats have been sold out of 1,611. This poor cast!!

I saw this show twice in previews and loved it. Not my favorite, but had such a good time.
I went back and saw it again 2 weeks ago and I HATE ALL OF THE CHANGES that have been made. Not only that but Salisha as Snow White fell so flat.
-At the end of act 1 the change from "were going on strike" to "we're going to Flatbush" was a dumb one. TOURISTS HAVE NO IDEA THAT FLATBUSH IS IN BROOKLYN.
-The 3 song doesnt fit
-Gimmie More feels so random
- the step mother apologizing to Cinderella saying "forgive me i didnt mean.." YES YOU DID. YOU JUST SONG A WHOLE SONG ABOUT IT.
Dont get me wrong, i still had a great time. But overall it felt like..a mess of ideas thrown in to fix things that didnt need to be fixed.

Whelp… him and Simard were the main reasons I was finally seeing this. Hopefully she’s in on Wednesday… ack.

Simard has a scheduled absence this Wednesday matinee, but should be in for the evening show.
