As the only options for a thursday matinee on the week that I'll be in NY are this show or Gatsby I'm in doubt if I waste my time seeing any of it lol

I did not care for this. The entire affair is just LOUD. The acting, the writing, the effects... just outright sensory overload in every way under the sun. The second act is more enjoyable than the first, but overall this one is the very definition of theme park entertainment.

I saw the show today. At the end of the curtain call they played the teaser trailer and dates for season 5.

I want to see this but I’m not sure when I can get to NYC. Any chance they keep this running till Season 5 airs?

Hard to predict, but my guess is it will run until 2026 (very deep pockets behind it). So most likely you'll get the chance to see it when season 5 premieres in November.

However, after the season premiere expectation dies (usually it dies pretty soon when it comes to ST) I totally see it closing on Broadway. ST is not on the level of Harry Potter fandom imo

What’s the best way to get a cheap ticket? I saw this in London and loved the stage craft. I’ve heard it’s just been amplified for broadway so I’d love to see it.

I think the rush has been pretty easy competitively and I’ve seen some lottery wins. The rear mezz is somewhat overpriced for how far it is.
