'PRODUCERS' A FLOP WITH $1,500 TIX FOR NEW YEAR'S BASH - nypost.com

Hopefully this will mean that we won't see anyone else try to price tickets this ridiculously, at least for another few years.

Let this lame idea from the PRODUCERS producers be a cautionary tale for all. LOL

It probably would have sold better as a charity function. People with sort of money tend to know what to do with it in the first place.

Sponsor a chorus member!!!!!!!!
I like that Mister Matt.

I totally agree. I just got home and saw this new on playbill'ssite and knew there would be something on here about it. I had a feeling this would happen. People (including myself) spend thousands of dollars on tickets all the time for CHARITY (ex: Actors' Fund) and even then, they get more than just a performance and a glass of champagne. Even if you didn't you would know it was for a good cause.
Maybe if they had promoted it as a charity event it would've sold. Maybe not. Maybe too many people just don't want to be anywhere near the madness that is Times Square on New Years.
Hm......I wonder if we will ever see the words "The Producers" (with Lane and Broderick) and "flop" in the same posting again...

It's absurd what they are charging for tickets to see these two actors. I hate that theatre is such an amazing experience and most folks can't afford it. And to jack up your ticket prices just so you can pay your overly inflated star salaries is ridicously. Broadway should not be just a luxary for the rich.

So its good they cancelled it altogether.
