I really need to see the show again with the new castmembers...
BTW, is it just me, or did they do away with the $26.50 seats?
Looks like they are $36 now---
Thanks for reviving this thread! Put me down as a major LOVER of this show, and like so many of you, I needs to get back to the Longacher to see how the new cast members are fairing.
I'm particularly excited about Paige!
And, I'm thrilled that the show has pulled out of debt! I a world where the dramas are taking themselves much more seriously, it's nice to see a comedy with a lot of professionalism, excitement, and artistic integrity!!!

I LOVED this show! I saw it right after the Tonys and it was SO much fun. And as you can see from my avatar, I think Mark Rylance is brilliant and sexy.
Testing, unfortunately they did away with the $26.50 seats awhile ago. The $20 box seats aren't bad, though.

Saw it Saturday night (Oct. 4) and Bono was in the audience. He was sitting in the left orchestra, and I was center orchestra front row. It's cool to say you had better seats than a music legend.
Anyway, I loved it. I thought Missi Pyle was powerfully confident as Gretchen. She looked very comfortable in this role, and her accent was impressive.
And of course Mark Rylance was amazing. We waited for him at the stage door (all but Gina Gershon came out), and he had on a bike helmet and brought his bike to ride home. I thought that was something you don't see at most stage doors!
Also, when he was looking out the "window" at Bernard's apartment, someone was coming in late on the front row. As they walked past, he said "Looks like the window washers are out today." Has he done this before? Hilarious!
I can answer any questions for those wondering what it's like recently...
Haha I saw Bono at SPRING AWAKENING and I was sitting in the front row and he was sitting a couple of rows behind me.
I saw the show opening night and can't wait to go back to see the new cast members later this month!
