Official: Billy Crystal's MR. SATURDAY NIGHT musical to begin Broadway previews March 1, 2022 at the Nederlander Theatre — Page 2

The wrinkles, but also the hair. (Billy has had some weird hair this decade. I don't know if it's dyed or plugged or weirdly styled to cover up thinness)

And the fact that the 4 people are all obviously photoshopped together despite just spending weeks together working on the show.

The mezz pricing makes zero sense. If the front mezz was more and the back mezz was less, it would not only let more people afford to see the show, but the pricing would average out to the price they want. Just so silly.

Does anyone have the Amex presale code?

Amazing - Thank you!!

Kids on TikTok are not the target demo for this or any Broadway show. But the people from the Upper East Side and Long Island and Jersey will no doubt be willing to pay $199 for Billy Crystal.

How very specific. Rich people live all over NYC in nearly every neighborhood, just an fyi.

Like others have said, I surely wouldn't pay $199 for rear mezz, but I also am willing to wait for those discount codes."

I'd expect kids on TikTok to care more about the blackface. Are they really complaining? Since they apparently find offense in Caroline, or Change, I've decided I can't deal with the youths this week.

The. Living. Worst.

I cannot really understand who the audience for this show will be, considering what a bomb the film was. Why would anyone want to pay six times the amount of a movie ticket to see a live version of a movie that no one went to see when it came out sooo long ago?...

The audience for ''Mr. Saturday Night'' will be the fans of Billy Crystal, and their number is sizable. When Crystal did ''700 Sundays,'' his one-man Broadway show in 2004-05, it ran for almost 200 performances. He then brought it back for a return run in 2013 and taped it for HBO and it became an Emmy-nominated special.

I doubt many will recall or care that ''Mr. Saturday Night'' was a film flop at the box office. The draw of this new musical is to see Crystal, live and in person. And one can't underestimate the draw of live theater. Why do audiences still buy tickets to ''Chicago'' on Broadway when they could buy the DVD of the Oscar-winning movie? Why are folks still paying top-dollar for ''Hamilton'' when they could stay at home and watch the filmed version, with the original cast, on Disney Plus?

Shame. She's got a killer voice.

General onsale has started, and prices are still the same. $199 for every seat in the mezzanine, with most of the orchestra at $349 ($199 for far sides).
