PARADE On Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 3

I am just gonna wait and check back this afternoon and go with whatever they have available at this point.

Now it makes sense. Thanks, Jordan! I'm just gonna wait and check back in like an hour or so.

I am pretty sure he did 8. He had good attendance for the majority of it, but think he started having issues near the end.

Ben Platt did 8 performances a week from when it opened in November 2016 through August 2017, when Michael Lee Brown was made his official alternate for Wednesday and Sunday Matinees. So he did 8 performances a week for 9 months and then 6 performances a week for 3 months.

Also if anyone is wondering, I have heard the Box office at the Jacobs is open and selling tickets if you don't want to pay telecharge fees or wait on this crazy queue.

And now the queue is paused. So I'm in a queue for the queue apparently. Nice website

For what it’s worth, I went to search for Parade tickets (just to get an idea of prices to see if there’s any feasible chance of me affording them&hellip and I get a virtual waiting room page. So out of curiosity I clicked on a few other shows and the ticket page came up with no problem.

Telecharge is a prehistoric website that's still run by dinosaurs. Mind-boggling that it still exists in its current form & that some of us of the theatre world have been so conditioned to its weirdnesses –– including an entirely separate website for discount tix.

I don't know how much Roundabout invested in "Criterion Ticketing" (new ticketing site for rental tenants), run through Tessitura, but it's a MUCH more slick and user-friendly interface, and better for mobile too.

Yep, I used it to buy tickets to Pictures From Home. I got so used to Telecharge not letting me see a live seating map for show on mobile that I was almost taken aback by it

I gather some of this is a Telecharge glitch overall. Yes, there's some demand for PARADE, but the whole site seems to be messed up today.

I had access earlier but was not sure which date to choose. By the time I had a date, it was too late! Hopefully, the website will be back up and I will take whatever seats that have. I am not missing this show!

It's not about to sell out a six month run in a day."

I hope you're right about this!

When Telecharge gets back up and running properly, there will be a lot more seats left than some people here are thinking. The first shows will be more limited, but 6 months will not be sold out.
