Info is up at Telecharge. Two interesting things: (1) tickets are cheaper when purchased several weeks in advance and (2) like Book of Mormon, they'll be doing Friday matinees during the summer.

Isn't Book Of Mormon also doing Friday matinees? They may be trying to jump on that bandwagon.
Interesting pricing structure. I've never seen the "the sooner ya buy, the cheaper the tickets are" gimmick.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
Any news on a rush policy for when the show moves to the Hayes? I dont think a lot of shows at the Hayes have done Lotto which makes me think ROA will have a rush when it goes there.
I can't imagine it would get a whole new cast and redesign. I'm sure the set will be smaller, but Xanadu did pretty well in that theater and Rock of Ages was once Off-Broadway.
They will probably "downsize" or cut some scenic elements. Didn't it get "enhanced" a bit before moving to Broadway? They'll probably go back to the Off B'way version.
That said, I'm curious how they'll do the scene with the German guy on the roof. Isn't it done in a box seat? There are no boxes at the Hayes.
Good point. One of my favorite elements of the show, when I saw it in previews, was the great use of the space. It felt like the show was just going on everywhere. Even in the lobby, etc.
Yes, the scene with the german guy does take place in the box at the Brooks Atkinson. However, I was just wondering how they did that scene off Broadway at New World? Granted, my question could be totally moot due to the fact that it might not have been in the Off Broadway version of the show. I wouldn't know however, since I never saw the show off Broadway.

In the touring production, they wheel out what looks sort of like a scaffolding (it's made to look like a balcony, of course) onstage and Hertz and Regina do the scene on top of it. Maybe they'll do something similar at the Hayes? I've never been inside the theatre, but based on what people are saying it sounds like one of the smallest on Broadway!
It is THE smallest, at 595 seats (and shows often remove seats to make room for an extended stage or an orchestra or stage equipment). The Helen Hayes is almost 500 seats smaller than the Brooks Atkinson.
