If you don’t want to go then don’t go. My goodness.
In recent years, the humidity has been worse and more oppressive than any audience at the Delacorte.
At the bottom of yesterday's announcement (or at least in the email in my inbox), it states that if you join as a Supporter Plus member for $300 you'll receive a reserved seat for Shakes in the Park. Might be worth looking into if seeing this production is a priority and could potentially be cheaper than paying someone to camp out for tickets morning of next summer.

So what are we guessing the rush will be like for this, back to before the park opens?
I loved the shot of Romeo and Juliet (two coyotes living in Central Park) taken at the Delacorte.

If you want a decent seat get there 4-6 hours early. Otherwise you'll be sitting with the squirrels.
This is WONDERFUL.

Does getting there early actually affect where your seat location is? It always seemed random to me.
From their website:
"Seat locations are randomly distributed, not based on the position of a person in the line, and you and your group are not guaranteed to be seated together. "

But what if I want to sit with the coyotes?
I sat next to some very lovely raccoons when I saw Merry Wives.

Looks straight out of a National Geographic magazine. Beautiful.
Yessssssssssss.
But, the new seats look as uncomfortable as the old ones for real.
I think there’s only so much that can be done in terms of comfort for seats that will be exposed to the elements all year round.
For those who can’t make it, this TWELFTH NIGHT will be recorded for a proshot, set to premiere November 14 on PBS as part of “Great Performances.”

PBS has really been knocking it out of the park with their Great Performances selections lately.

It's been trimmed to 90 minutes? Why? I always thought Twelfth Night was one of the more fleet-footed of Shakespeare's plays.
