Regarding discounts, they were running a special via Facebook last week for $35 rear Mezzanine tickets through April 21. There were quite a few seats left, particularly the further out you went. Thankfully I bought mine yesterday for the 17th. Not sure it would have been so easy if I had waited until the word of mouth had spread a little. Sounds like this is a real gem.
I adored DROWSY more than I can say, so these pre-previews-reviews are exciting.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
Ahh so excited for this! I don't want to jinx anything, but IF this wins Best Musical, then Jujamcyn could have a best musical running in each of its five theaters!
The mailer and the web site are hilarious! I'm sorry I waited too long for first preview (sold out), but I'll be there next week, and I look forward to reading comments here.
"Here is another curtain picture that also shows the proscenium."
The curtain is nice and all but that really sells it. I'm trying not to get too hyped but it's admirable how much thought they seem to have put into everything.
^ Especially considering that scraped an out of town tryout and brought it in rather abruptly (I know it was a few months, but in Broadway time, that's abrupt). Can't believe I have to wait until SEPTEMBER to try and see this! By that time it will probably be impossible to get a ticket.
If this wins Best Musical it will confirm what a great time this is for original musical comedy on Broadway with this, The Book of Mormon, Kinky Boots and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.

I don't understand. All shows are original in some respect. But, Kinky Boots and Gentleman's Guide are based on movies. Neither is an "original" story.
