Just gorgeous.

What's the cheapest way to get tickets to this?

And what is their performance schedule? It's confusing to me...

How many parts are there/how are they being performed?

The cheapest way to get tickets is to call the box office or order online. All seats are $20, except for the three extension weeks in March.

There are two charts on Signature's website with clear delineation of the performance schedule. signaturetheatre.org.

Part 1 has been in performance, but now Part 2 starts next week. There are a couple of days in December when Part 1 and Part 2 will be performed on the same day. Part 3 begins in January and then all three parts will be in rotation. Unlike Norman Conquests, say, The Orphans' Home Cycle is linear and should probably be seen in order.

There's also the waiting list option, day of show, which, if nothing else, will give you a seat on the stairs.

Box office says you don't have to see all three parts in order, but you should.

Childhood, marriage, family.

Does anyone think this might have a chance of a transfer sometime in 2010?

So are there only three parts?

Yes. It's a trilogy, made up of nine plays. Each part is made up of three plays.

So just going to the dinner the day-of is a good option?

I got a Sat matinee ticket for Part 1, and there were (yesterday, at least) still tix for Sat nite for Part 2

But Part 3 on Sun was sold out

If I did come up for the weekend, and did the 'waiting list' option, could I be fairly sure of seeing Part 3 on Sunday?

The marathons were all sold out

Part 3 hasn't started yet. It begins on January 7. Sooooo, no.

But I'm seeing Part 1 in March

So, is the 'waiting list' a fairly certain way of getting in and sitting on the steps (I believe it was something about steps...)

Once Part 3 begins in January, the three parts will be playing in rotation.
