I'm on the website and don't see where tickets are onsale...it is only Audience Rewards?

Unfortunately, going to have to wait until public on sale for mezz tickets. With $159 being the lowest price point, that's too steep for me at the moment especially with a new play and unknown cast. Didn't pay that much for Prima Facie tickets with Comer."

$159 per ticket is a ridiculous money grab on the producers' part. It's an 80 minute straight play with four actors and one set (unless they really go all out with the musical numbers). Unless it's an all-star cast I can't imagine paying anywhere near that much. I would wait until the "Audience Rewards Presale" is over. It's a good play but there is a limited audience for it and I'm sure there will be tickets available for half that price once it opens.

It’s actually been done a lot regionally since its premiere, although definitely not “done to death.”

Like Baritone pointed out, it's been done a LOT regionally in a pretty short amount of time. But considering the regional productions were presumably attended by completely different audiences from each other, it doesn't seem like anyone would be tired of it yet. Although it's true they might not feel as much of an urgent need to see it, if they recently saw it - or will see it soon - in their hometown. And that could be a true of a lot of people's hometowns (including NYC, since it played here recently)

But I'm guessing there are plenty of NYC theatre-goers who missed it at Playwrights Horizons - enough to fill the tiny Hayes reasonably well, at least, but maybe not at those full prices.

Unless the high prices indicate that they do actually have some big names lined up - we'll see, I guess.

Ahh interesting, I didn't know that. My apologies Falsettolands.

Has anyone heard anything about this? Is this still happening? Any word on the cast?

It's still happening. First preview is March 23rd.

As for the casting - I'm curious too, but I guess they're not in any hurry since they figure they'll get their subscriber base into the house either way. Even when 2nd Stage has big stars they don't show much interest in pushing them in the marketing. Also possible that they don't have any stars for this, so they figure no one really would really care to know the casting this early. We'll find out when we find out I guess.
