I didn't see them on Telecharge. I would like to know where the $25 orchestra seats are located too! I gave up on looking for them and just took the balcony.

I'm so jealous. Twelfth Night was the best show that I saw last year - possibly even better than when I first saw it ten years earlier.
I really hope that Paul Chahidi gets to go over too. I mean the whole cast was great, but if you can't have them all, he is key - he's amazing. So was Roger Lloyd Pack. And I hope that the guys who were there in the original show get to go over.
I could've watched it over and over and over - but only managed to get tickets to see it once - at the Globe in the original run. I'm hoping to make it to a cinema when it's shown there soon.

I've got my tickets for both, wonderful seats
I am SO excited for these
Now I just need to save my pennies for WAITING FOR GODOT (and then I will be broke for the next million months)
I'm sure it will be worth every penny
I love RICHARD III especially -- after seeing Kevin Spacey last year, I can't wait to see what Mark Rylance does with it

Anyone know when the box office will be open to purchase tickets in person?

I would love to see this but I also want see the Chalk Garden and If/Then and Aladdin etc.
#33
Posted: 6/7/13 at 8:17pm
so the only 25 dollar tickets currently available to buy are in the balcony correct?

Yes, that seems to be the case. The new version of Telecharge seems to indicate that there are $25 seats in the Orchestra (giving a range of 137-25), but I can't seem to find any of them.
The old version of Telecharge lists the pricing as:
Orchestra: $137.00
Mezzanine Rows A-D: $137.00
Mezzanine Rows E-H: $97.00
Balcony: $27.00
I walked by the theater today and the box office is not open yet, not that I thought it would be, but I was just making sure.

The box office will not open until 5 or 6 weeks before the first preview.

So Best Actor in a Play just got more interesting. Can each of these actors be nominated twice then?
#37
Posted: 6/8/13 at 12:00am
Off the top of my head, I know there is precedence for joint nominations for actors appearing in rep shows. John Kani and Winston Ntshona is the most apt parallel, but performers from THE COAST OF UTOPIA and THE NORMAN CONQUESTS were also all considered for their total performances, not just their works in each separate play, correct?
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Yah, I'd imagine it would be something like Mark Rylance in Twelfth Night/Richard III. Although, Olivia is a supporting role and Richard is obviously leading, so I could see the waters being muddied there.
#39

Hmm. The difference is that while the three plays of The Coast of Utopia or The Norman Conquests can be viewed as standalone works, when put together, they represent a unified whole. That's not the case of this repertory, or of Waiting for Godot and No Man's Land either. They are just plays being staged together, in repertory, by a company. I'm just assuming here, but I imagine the two plays will be counted separately by awards, just as when Much Ado and Cyrano--playing in rep by the RSC--were counted as two standalone productions in 1985.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'm totally intrigued by this $25 ticket option, and I hope more productions do the same in the future. Also I hope they are easily available. I'd assume that if they're already blocking off inexpensive tickets, they would be less rush tickets, which is difficult.
Plays are indeed looking good, I'm glad there's more "classical looking" Shakespeare on Broadway, as opposed to Macbeth which was so modernized.

Just got tickets for both shows on a Saturday. I'm looking forward to this so much!

In theory Rylance could be nominated for both supporting and lead, Frys not a problem as he's only in Twelfth Night.

I have had Telecharge open for about four hours now and I keep lingering back to it... This would be a no-brainer, but I'm moving to Albany in August and I don't know if I should just pick a weekend, get my $25 seats in the balcony and see if it works out come October or wait it out... I refuse to go without seeing Rylance grace a Broadway stage once again. I'm so excited!

Most of the Globe/West End cast is transferring with the production, including Paul Chahidi, Colin Hurley and Peter Hamilton Dyer, among others.

Anyone know how view is from the Balcony, is it like you are looking at the top of their heads? Also, I remember hearing complaints that there was an annoying bar blocking the view in Row A & B of the mezzanine and Balcony, did they rid of that problematic bar when they renovated?

Posted: 6/27/13 at 3:13am
So thrilled so many of the London cast are getting the chance to take it to Broadway - Chahidi was brilliant 11 years ago and last summer and Colin Hurley and Peter Hamilton Dyer were also in that original production too.

Trying to find a reasonbly priced hotel room for a Saturday night so we can come down on Saturday morning and see both shows and head home on Sunday, and prices are CRAZY.
Meanwhile, tix don't seem to be going too quickly. Any fears that it will be hard to get tickets if we wait another week or more to buy?

I could be wrong, but I'm thinking this could be a connoisseur's show. That said, i wanted the $25 seats, so I bought mine already. Hotel prices in NYC are crazy. Maybe stay in Brooklyn?
Tickets From $59
Tickets From $71
