Ok, so looking more closely, it looks like DD-FF 107-108/207-208 and GG-HH 105-108/205-208 are the partial views.

Got the same email for GG 105. Hoping the new seat isn’t too far away as I prefer partial view up close vs being way in the back

According to Michael Riedel
”Tunick can’t discuss Here We Arejust yet—everybody on the show had to sign a confidentiality agreement that runs until its first preview, on September 28, at the Shed in New York—but sources say he has taken sketches of Sondheim songs and fleshed them out for the second act.”

I wonder if this is referring to the act two interludes or actual songs that may be in act two now.

Hmmm I checked didn't see it?

Instagram videos expire after 24 hours. She had it up over the weekend. Orchestra looked sizable!

I have a theory about that, but it involves the plot of the films so I'm putting it on spoiler just in case.

As far as we know, the interludes are meant to be used while they are trapped inside the room and cannot leave and feel like songs that never start. But, assuming the musical follows the plot of The Exterminating Angel, they are able to leave once they re-ennact the situation that got them there. Now, Cameron Mackintosh on the article about the famous call were Sondheim played he score, said that was missing was a Loveland-style sequence that he had not written. Now, that "reenactment" at the end seems like a perfect fit for a Loveland sequel. Maybe we are getting both, the interludes and re-constructed version of the solos Sondheim might have sketched for that section.
I guess we will know soon, can't wait.

I can’t believe we are so close, I’m super curious about the runtime.

This refers to the act two interludes. The NY Mag article says that the interludes –3 of them, maybe 4?– all took existing harmonies or leitmotifs from the songs Sondheim wrote for act one (and it also sounds like act two has one song at the top of the act, before the gang becomes stuck in a room) and the expanded on their themes for the interludes. So, all the music in the piece comes from Steve.

Can't wait for Thursday! So curious what the audience will be like. Sondheim groupies basically lol.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

As it happens, I will probably be watching The Exterminating Angel, the film, on Thursday night. I saw The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie a few weeks ago.
I know I will not have the self-discipline not to check this thread and read what all you Thursday night people have to say. I probably should avoid it, as I’m supposed to see the show in three weeks. I will try to restrain myself, although I am curious about the whole ‘music in the second act’ question and how the side seats are.
ETA: I got The Exterminating Angel at the library, but it’s on TCM on Thursday at 11:45 a.m. Eastern time (8:45 a.m. Pacific) for those who want to check it out.

It definitely sounds like there could be some traditional sung music in the beginning of act 2. Can’t wait to find out.
