HAMILTON and FUN HOME both ran 15 weeks at the Newman. SUFFS is currently on sale for 7 weeks. I don't see anything else slated for the Newman this spring/summer, so maybe could extend if the strong demand continues?

Can someone give a little more info about the recorded gunshots, for those of us with sensitivities?

There were no gunshots that I recall. My son and I are both sensitive to loud noises and there weren’t any.

Ok, thanks for clarifying. It says that there are on the Public's website, along with theatrical haze, open flame, strobing lights, and strobing lights that mimic camera flashes.

There is a sudden noise to start both acts that startled us a little, but it wasn’t loud.

below is questionably a spoiler about tech stuff?

There is a "fire pit" on stage at one point. It's big and the flames are real.

There are quickly-changing lights on one part of the stage for a matter of seconds, but I wouldn't call them strobes.

The house lights drop to black immediately at the start of acts 1 and 2.

Overall extremely tame compared to the majority of modern, light-heavy musicals (with the exception of the flames) based on what I remember from the show.

Also just remembered there was a lyric mentioning Joan of Arc, which made me giggle remembering the Public's own bad attempt at a JoA musical a few years ago. Glad David Byrne and Alex Timbers have gone on to better things!

2 hours out from seeing this tonight and it's truly just so SO good!! It was Holly Gould's first night on as Alice Paul and she was utterly fantastic! If you miss Shaina Taub, you will absolutely be in good hands!

Now to just impatiently wait for transfer and cast recording info, can't come soon enough!!

Jakeevan942 said: "While last night was the 4th preview that became the first preview, it felt very much like an invited dress crowd-the entire cast of a current Broadway show in the few rows in front of me, assorted other Broadway performers around the venue, at least one major TV star who has worked with folks involved before, friends of the producers.

I'd expect to start hearing more buzz from regular folks over the next few days."

Rachel Brosnahan posted about attending the first preview. And according to Deuxmoi, LMM and Leo DiCaprio saw SUFFS as well!

Rachel Brosnahan's best friend, Rachel Sussman, is one of the two commercial producers behind the Public production (along with the deep-pocketed Jill Furman).

For those of you looking for tickets, keep checking back every day as I was able to score 2 tickets for Friday in April for the front row. Has anybody sat front row at that theater for this show before? Is that a good view or way too close? Wondering how high the stage is etc. thanks in advance!

Has anyone successfully purchased a TodayTix rush ticket? Starting to feel insane smashing buttons to no avail at precisely 9:00am to 9:10-ish.

The view from the front row is fine, and the stage, though raised a bit from normal, is not too high. However, at times stage lights bothered our eyes, especially in the first few minutes.

I attempted the TodayTix rush today for the first time… I’ve had luck with many of their rushes in the past, though sometimes it did take me multiple attempts before succeeding. However today I was very lucky and got in. I did feel very good about the speed of my button Tap tho lol. But just confirming it’s not impossible.

With fees how much do the tickets cost? Also for those who have seen it is it really worth $125?

I would ASSUME this will move to Broadway––as long as the critics love it––sometime within the next 13 months, where it would readily be available for under $100 (discount codes, TDF, TKTS, etc). But I'm not a betting person.

If it doesn't get a love letter from the NYT (or at least a very encouraging review with a few reservations) it would be hard to see it make the move uptown.

Saw it last night and really loved it from start to finish. If nothing else, I certainly hope they at least do a cast recording.

There was a massive ticket drop last night and I was able to get tickets for Easter night. After reading all the reactions on here I'm very excited for this one.

Do they typically release tickets at specific times? Would love to catch this when I visit at the end of April or if they extend again in early June…
