SUCCESSION Star Jeremy Strong Will Return to Broadway in AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE — Page 3

Been a few years since I've been to Circle. Will be running to a 54 Below show immediately after Enemy... anyone have a tip where to sit at Circle to get out quickly? Have seen four shows there over the years, and always remember it being a slow slog to get out as all the rows funnel to the exits. (But get turned around when I look at the seating charts online.)

why are tickets almost 500$? I say that not with snark but genuine curiosity. That is so much money for a play. Do we think the set will be mind blowing or some sort of immersive situation?

It is front row I am talking about but still....that's like Hugh Jackman in TMM and MERA kinda money.

Just checking a few random dates in March/April i see a decent amount of available seats starting at $99. If you want to sit "courtside", that costs $$$.

I'm still skeptical of Pedretti. All her work so far has been trash for teens and she was the weak link of a great ensemble on Origin. That said, the way they combined the daughter with the wife is a bit intriguing even if it falls into the "fridge women" trope."

Wha? Have you not seen any of her fantastic very non-teen-trash projects with Mike Flanagan on Netflix? :-O

As strong as he may be in this (pun intended), the part is not substantial enough to justify the ticket prices. It's such a thematical / political text.

Unless you would pay 1k if he was just standing there for 90 mins. doing nothing.

...Have you been sitting in rehearsals for this new adaptation of the play? How do you know the part is substantial or not?

Obviously it was substantial enough for him to say yes (I know he's turned down a number of Broadway offers since he found fame with Succession) and they have a not-unknown costar in Michael Imperioli, too.

The producers are allowed to charge whatever they feel is competitive for this play, which is running in a small house with no bad seats. There's zero correlation between ticket price and substance of a role. (There's also no rule about how much scenic design a show must have to charge a certain ticket price.) If they don't sell many seats at $500, then obviously they will lower the price.

That's how it has always worked in the commercial theatre.

Those who disagree with that practice would do well to get off this board and exclusively attend not-for-profit theatres.
