I have a ticket for Thursday. Starting to think that isn't going to happen now. I'll be pretty annoyed as I had very limited choices to begin with, and now am going to have an even harder time. Here's hoping though...
Bummer. This would have been my first preview! And it's all about me, me, me!

Was so looking forward to Whizzer's first preview review as well. Thanks for posting - this thread is the first place I heard of the cancellation.

The reason for the cancellation is completely understandable. Hopefully, these next two days will provide the creative team more time to tighten up the show before previews.
I just hope this doesn't turn into another Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The really important question: Are they resetting the countdown to Rocky clock?
I just exchanged our tickets for Thursday night...Whizzer and I will both be there.
My first thought was about the countdown clock too!!
If anyone is Lotto'ing tonight, please report back! 20 tickets is not a lot, especially for a lotto. Hoping they'll sell the side orch too cause they're not for sale online.
If you ARE lottoing tonight, you're in for a surprise.
I think there is a 100% chance you will not get lottery tickets tonight
BECAUSE TONIGHT'S PREVIEW PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN CANCELLED!!!!!
Also they're not selling the side orchestra, they're selling the first two rows so you'll have Golden Circle seating.

They're blaming the cancellation of the first preview on Con Ed? Wicked is across the street and isn't cancelling a show...

The problems are east of Broadway. Wicked isn't affected.
As mattiek17 said, buildings in that area have had spotty power. I work in the area, as well- ConEd's been around here for quite a few days doing repairs.

A show like ROCKY must use an incredible amount of electrical power. You can't run ROCKY on back-up generators.
Does anyone know what, in general, are the policies if you have tickets and you can't get in due to the snow? Regular (discounted) tickets - not TDF? Thursday is looking worse and worse and damn, I have pretty good seats too. I know, no refunds and all that, but won't some box offices post date them or something if there is space? Thanks in advance.
Matt Rogers- call telecharge. Even when there was a no cancellations/ no refunds / no exchanges policy in place for a show I was supposed to see, the community services rep worked with me to exchange the ticket for a different day, because there was no way I was going to make it to the show (or NYC) on time due to weather delayed travel.
TeleCharge has had a lot of practice on this procedure over the past couple of weeks.

Here's hoping tonight's performance is on.
And here's to the ladies who lunch!
All kidding aside, I'm EXTREMELY interested to hear what you guys think of this show, and I hope you all get to see it tonight!
