It was on for less than a few hours on the date the poster posted the info.

I quickly grabbed tickets, by the time I did, there was only 1 date left. Stupidly, I didn't check the date and now I can't make the date I picked, luckily I was able to give them to a friend.

If they go back on TDF it'd be great if someone could post. $40 is about the limit I'd pay to see this.

Excuse my ignorance... What is TDF?

Theater Disaster Fund. It encourages people to see shows that are really horrendous so the casts can continue earning paychecks.

Yes some of those truly horrific shows have included the following: South Pacific, Fela, Next to Normal, The 39 Steps, The Scottsboro Boys, August Osage: County, Black Watch, School of Lies, The Normal Heart... TDF has really been responsible for the some the worst theater going experiences of life.

The Theatre DEVELOPMENT Fund often has tickets available to new shows that open in a season, which often includes shows like the below mentioned, as they haven't yet "taken off."

Or, shows show up on TDF because it's a poor sales month.

Or, shows show up on TDF because they have had their hayday and are now losing life.

Thus helping to extend the life of a show, whether it be a horrendous show or a Pulitzer Prize-winning show.
