Their pricing (at least for the AMEX presale) is INSANE!  Last row of the Booth mezzanine is mostly $149 (with a few $129 seats sprinkled around on certain perfs).

I'll wait for TDF.

This will not sell-out, at least not until opening, but even then unlikely. I’d wait until the box office opens and, at the very least, save on fees.

Jin Ha seems like a smart choice...having a white Hal and a black Catherine would probably change the story in ways Auburn did not intend. Samira Wiley isn't really right for Claire (she's much more of a Catherine), but I guess "thirty-something black actress who people will recognize from TV and is willing to play a smallish role in a Broadway show" wasn't the easiest casting.

Jin Ha is Korean.

I think that is the previous poster's point. They have avoided this pitfall.

Right, I’m saying that going with a POC as Hal avoided adding a cringy element to Hal’s doubts of Catherine’s abilities, etc.

Ahhh, I misread it, sorry.
