^^TDF doesn't give seat location unless they specify for a certain show that your seats will be in the mezz or balcony (usually in case of stairs). You find out when you go to the box office day of to pick up the tickets or if they are being mailed, when they arrive in your mailbox.

They are posting tix for ROA for most of April!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

They posted tickets for most of the preview shows and all of those went, which makes me think they aren't posting a ton of tickets for each show....we will see.
Regardless, seems like a good time to buy when you have a ton of dates to choose from.

More proof that this is going to be a big time CULT hit (a la Xanadu).....the TDF tickets are already selling very well.

For the last time, Xanadu was not a hit. It lost money.
And if RoA was actually going to be a hit, it wouldn't be on TDF in the first place. You can't run a show on $35 tickets.

Xanadu was a CRITICAL & ARTISTIC hit, but it was NOT a financial hit meaning that it FLOPPED.

"Hit" implies that it made money, bud.
Xanadu LOST money.
Sure, the gays loved it, but that doesn't make it a cult hit. It makes it a cult flop.

I'm straight and Xanadu was one of my favorite shows of all time.

Then you need to get out to the theater more. I liked Xanadu, and had a great time, but to call it an all-time favorite? Please.

was Millie a hit?
It won a tony award for best musical over Urinetown and ran for almost 2 years, had a 1st national full production tour then moved to a tiered tour.....but it never recouped on broadway. So by your estimation it was not a hit..right?

Exactly. Shows that fail to recoup their investment on Broadway are termed flops, not hits. Hit shows return their investments and make a profit for their investors. There is no estimating involved. Jekyll and Hyde was a flop, yet it ran 4 1/2 years, but it never returned its initial investment.

for crying out loud why does everyone find it so hard to understand what a flop is, The shows length of run does not matter (Footloose ran for over 700 performances and still lost money), it does not matter how many awards a show won etc it all comes down to one simple fact as PiraguaGuy2 said
Did the show make its investment back?
If yes...its a hit
If No....Its a flop
Just like a movie at the box office, if the movie does not return investment even if it got the greatest reviews in the world and won countless Oscars its a flop, the studio has lost money.
Xanadu did not return investment
