So it starts late September now??
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

I don't think there was ever an "official" first preview date announced until today.

Yes sorry it’s more the placeholder calendar started earlier just want to make sure I understand correctly for planning purposes. Starts September 28? Will be trying for the first preview. Also, did anyone upgrade their membership and are still getting messages about their older membership level? Hoping it’ll all work out. When I log in it has new level.

Do you all think that a membership will be required to get tickets to this? Or do you think I'll be safe waiting until general sale starts? I'm so much more nervous now looking at the cast, and I want to do everything I can to secure a ticket - any ticket, for that matter.
They/them.

Except there's a presale for the highest tier Shed members starting tomorrow at noon - it goes on sale to the general public on 7/20 so unless you're a Shed member paying 1k or above (and obviously ticket scalpers) no one else will get tickets to this.

Depending on the level of your membership....they are staggered.

I'd say it's worth paying $10 for the basic membership just to get it a day early. Though I'm surprised there's no posted price range of tickets (or seating chart, or dates, etc). Was The Shed like this for Straight Line Crazy as well or does it just seem like they're scrambling for this show?

The email I have says -
"As a Builder 3 member, you have first access to the member presale on Tuesday, July 18 at noon EST."
So just going by that.

Yeah, that's a great cast. But, unlike the Public, City Center and Classic Stage company, a membership to the Shed doesn't guarantee you'll secure a ticket which is lame. Always read the fine print.

We don't even know how many seats the configuration will have, so fear of the entire run being sold out tomorrow isn't really founded in anything. Straight Line Crazy had 557 seats (500 is the normal capacity there), which is a pretty significant number, and a lot more than, say, NYTW, where Merrily didn't even sell out entirely before the public sale, but we'll see how it goes.
There are 3 presales: tomorrow at noon, tomorrow at 2, and Wednesday at noon.

"Join us at The Shed this fall for the highly anticipated world premiere ofHere We Are, the new musical from Stephen Sondheim and David Ives.
Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello, Here We Are will feature Francois Battiste, Tracie Bennett, Bobby Cannavale, Micaela Diamond, Amber Gray, Jin Ha, Rachel Bay Jones, Denis O’Hare, Steven Pasquale, David Hyde Pierce, and Jeremy Shamos.
Drawing inspiration from two iconic films of Luis Buñuel, The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and The Exterminating Angel, this captivating new musical is the final masterstroke of the late Mr. Sondheim’s legendary career.
Performances will begin September 28 and run through January 7, 2024.
Shed members receive exclusive access to the presale on Tuesday, July 18 and Wednesday, July 19 before tickets go on sale to the public on Thursday, July 20."
Adding this bit of info from a Theatermania email that I just received: "The strictly limited engagement will begin on Thursday, September 28 in the Shed’s Griffin Theater, with an opening night on Sunday, October 22. It will run for 15 weeks."

Doing some quick math, if we round down and say that there will be 500 seats and assume 8 performances per week, that gives them 60,000 seats for the run. Assuming 2 seats per person gives them around 30,000 buyers. DO I think there are 30,000 people giving $1000+ to the Shed? Definitely not.
I think it's also unlikely that they have 30,000 members total. I could be totally wrong (and $10 is nothing for an extra 24 hours of access), but that sounds like a lot of people.
I do think that by the time we reach the general sale, tickets will be very limited and demand will be very high.

I agree, because 10 dollars is so reasonable most people will do that, making any tickets left very, very limited.

Do they sell tickets directly through their website?

This is genuinely a time where they should use premium pricing to reduce the incentive and effectiveness of scalpers.
