Question about Playwrights Horizons Re SAVED

I would like to try to go see SAVED in early previews...the cast looks so great and I think it will be a really good show. I see that full price tickets are $70, which I am willing to pay. I would just like to know if shows at Playwrights Horizons ever have discounts, or do they usually sell out on full price. Is it a subscription house?

Tickets go on sale this Friday, and I was wondering if I should buy a ticket immediately, or wait a while to see if a discount pops up.

I have never seen a show at Playwrights Horizons, so any information you have would be appreciative.

Thanks!

Saved is on the main stage, and also highly anticipated. They have student rush 2 hours before the show, but not if it's sold out. I doubt there'll be discounts. I, for one, am buying a full price ticket.

There's lots of options with Playwrights Horizons if you are a student. I'm not sure if they'd let you do it at this point in the season, but I got a Flex Pass for my student daughter, which was $40 for great seats to FOUR of their shows, so she will wind up seeing stuff like Saved and Dead Man's Cell Phone for $10 a pop. Ticket Central does do a no-rush student ticket thing, true, but call them and find out what you have to do to sign up; my daughter did that as well, but you've got to register for it with your school e-mail address and not every show they sell tickets for is up there on the list at all times. If you're NOT a student, it is hard for me to imagine that Saved won't have some kind of discount, or pop up on TDF once or twice. Of their recent shows, only Cell Phone got away with not having to do that, and I think that was because of Mary-Louis Parker. Joining Horizons as a non-student is not a bad deal either; I think my membership runs about $40 a play, but there's a better rate if you're 35 or under, which I'm not. I'd give them a call first before you spend the 70-some-dollars, and see what your options are...

Is Playwright Horizons known for possibly extending their "hit" shows. Such as Saved for as many as 2 weeks?

PH does indeed extend - weeks at a time, especially if their next show doesn't start for a while. SESSIONS (at the Sharp Theatre) was extended 4 or 5 times. Granted, by the end of the run, every single seat was papered, but...

I'm sure I'm one of many that will say buy your ticket right away. As far as extending, that's always a possibility. But it's not just whether the theater space is available for an extension. Sometimes shows can't extend due to cast availability and whatnot. Right?

There was a press release today that said individual tickets go on sale on the 11th. So in 3 days.

I can't imagine they're not hoping for some kind of future with this show beyond the limited run. Anything rarely plays the Playwrights mainstage during the summer, so I'd have to think it would extend.

Still, better safe than sorry.
