I’m so excited to f I n a l l y hear the reviews. Can’t imagine any negative reviews tbh, so I’m assuming mixed to positive, or all-round raves.
I’ll prob go be creepy and stand outside of the theater watching the red carpet later

I'm expecting mostly positive notices, with several mixed reviews thrown in as well.
Jesse Green reviewed this one in Chicago, so it's safe to say he will be the one reviewing the Broadway production as well because of New York Times policy.

I think some of the old guard critics might not dig this one, but should get mostly positive notices.
I was at a press performance this week and noticed several critics bolt out of there seats to the exits as if they had just been poked by an electric cattle prod right on the downbeat of the last number. Only problem is...they didn't stay for the ACTUAL final number with the remix and crowd dancing/clapping for the post curtain call finale. Silly critics. Fun fact: all the ones who ran out early were old white men.
Luckily this is not the type of show that will need unanimous glowing reviews to sell.

Anyone know what time curtain is - aka - when we can expect reviews?

Almost every Broadway celebrity you can think of is in line to get into the show right now, which is nice to see.

From what I have read about the pricing on this show - you would have to be rich and/or famous to be able to see this show.
As for reviews, I am expecting really good reviews. I saw it Feb 2020 - a fun 80 minutes with no added bloat and really well written songs. But not $500 worth.

I saw it re-opening night for like $80 from great seats. The show has cheaper tickets than that too. This is not a rich people only show. This is a show that is hot so re-sales are doing ridiculous pricing. But if you buy ahead of time it’s super standard prices
I’m very anxiously waiting for the raves tonight!

The problem is the vast majority of the orchestra is now considered “premium” which causes ticket buyers to snatch up the other half of the theater very fast, creating a real lack of “affordable” tickets.

Yeah I went to the first preview last year and got a rush ticket. Front row, center. My friends who have been going recently (the gays loveeeee this show) have been paying around $120+ per ticket which for me seems pretty average for what I’ve paid for other shows.

Variety is a rave
I love how Frank writes a paragraph about each girl separately.

AMNY is mixed/positive
”Notwithstanding the dynamic score, “Six” is weighed down by a labored book (which is built around a flimsy setup and banal banter), bargain-basement scenic design, and clunky dance choreography. That being said, “Six,” which was highly anticipated before the shutdown, still has the makings of a solid hit. ”

Expect many more critics coming after the book. The libretto makes it clear this started as a college project.

“Six” is a solid “10” - Variety.
WOW was a good quote for their marketing THAT is gonna be!

Yeah definitely. The book has cute comedic moments, but the score is really what makes it special.
Also I don’t think the choreography is “clunky” at all

Jinx!
also every review compares it to Hamilton. I get it from the history POV, but they are two totally different shows

But hard disagree on TimeOut New York saying that "All You Wanna Do" is the least well-crafted song...I think that song is the MOST well-crafted song and the one that does the most to actually transform the story of the six wives into something new and progressive.

“I think we can all agree I’m the ten amongst these threes” is one of my favorite lyrics in the show.

The tickets were cheaper (max price $249 for fourth row centre) prior to opening. Now those same seats are $499 and mezz seats are nearly all sold out. Look at ticketmaster for this upcoming week (other than Tuesday, which are slightly cheaper for some reason, although next Tuesday October 12 is not cheaper) - for example, this Friday night, mezz and front mezz seats are completely sold out and the only available seats are in the orchestra for $499 plus fees (including seats in orchestra right row J, which I would not consider a premium seat and would never pay $499 for even if I could afford it). Even next Tuesday's shows (October 12) has the mezz and front mezz both sold out except for one single seat at the very back of the right mezzanine for $179. Every other seat is in the orchestra (including row K) for $499.

Yeah I gave that the side-eye. I think the least well-written song is “No Way”
