Sondheim and Ives' HERE WE ARE at The Shed — Page 20

I have no doubt this will eventually sell out. Straight Line Crazy was an incredibly hot ticket by the end.

I was never too worried that the entire run would sell out before public sales even start, but my dates were very limited (as I was only going to be available for a couple of days in October) and I was hoping to get $129 seats given the size of the venue.

The expensive seats - probably bought yesterday - and the cheap seats are the most popular. It was definitely easier when looking in November and December, at least earlier today.

ETA at 7:45 p.m. Eastern time — I was scanning through various dates just now, and it confirmed my earlier impression. There is ample ticket availability for people buying Thursday, including at the $129 level (plus $5 fee), but you’re better off looking at November or December dates for bargain prices with a few exceptions. Tickets for higher prices, including $169 and up, are available sooner. I do not know when, or if, dynamic pricing might kick in.

And one other thing: the people who suggested getting the $10 membership (more than one of you) also get credit. It wasn’t necessary for everyone but it helped me save a little money.

Another big thank you to Taffy for sharing excellent info that made my purchase today a breeze. 

I was in a cue at 11:53am with 2 minute wait.  In at 11:55 - and had no problems.  Around 12pm the loading of maps noticeablly slowed. 

Thanks Taffy you made that far less stressful!

Bumping this post now that there’s a cast. A few parts seem pretty obvious, others I am less certain about. But it might be obvious to you folks. Many of the male roles don’t require big singing voices, which might explain some of the casting decisions that seem to emphasize acting chops.

Any guesses?

EDIT: Oops, forgot Tracie Bennet was a part of this. I'd say she is likely Claudia and Rachel Bay Jones is (likely) Woman.Or, vice versa.Fairly certain Amber is Marienne and Micaela is Fritz.



Hate that two of the roles don't have names."

Rachel - Marianne , Claudia - Tracie , Fritz - Micaela , Woman - Amber

I made it through the queue but I can’t get out of a blue box that says “loading.” Anyone else?

Opening the “get tickets” link in a new tab worked for me.

I purchased tickets to the first preview. There are plenty of seats remaining, and the online queue was 2 people ahead of me to get in to purchase tickets.
