Sunset Boulevard Revival Broadway Thread — Page 3

BroadwayConcierge said: "^Agreed. Granted, I've already purchased my tickets, but I'm most awaiting casting for this production of almost anything else this spring.

Gotta echo Cinders on another board and say I'm rooting for Sierra Boggess as Betty.



"

I didn't even think about Sierra because I knew she was attached to Phantom in Paris, but with that postponed it could work! She's not attached to anything else that we know of, ALW loves her, limited engagement so she wouldn't have to commit for a long time and I think it'd finally get her a Tony nomination. If Sierra gets cast I will get tickets to this instead of Anastasia. Fingers crossed they announce it soon

I very much doubt Sierra Boggess would do this tbh. Betty is a very under-written role and is very much a secondary (though important) character in the show. Having played several leads, I doubt she would do this now. However, never say never....

Listening to the score for the first time and I can picture Chris Mann playing Joe.He just finished his run in the restaged Phantom tour......

Do y'all think if I see Sunset Blvd at 3 I could make it in time to eat my pie/see Sweeney off broadway?

EDIT: I did the math and it would be a mad dash, especially if I pre-ordered a pie. Just to be safe, I got Wednesday night tickets to Sweeney.

Any word on how this is selling? I'm getting myself into the Sunset score for the very first time, and it's just tremendously good. I can't wait to see Close in this role.

The production at the ENO with Glenn Close was a sold out hit in London.

Does anyone know if they're planning on bringing the "Younger Norma" into this production too? Curious since there was a lot of disagreement about that when this production opened in London. Also... does anyone know if Ria Jones will understudy here?

God, things are still looking a little dire for this show. One month to go and look at all these free seats for the second preview (a Friday night, no less). I hope the show can last its scheduled run.

Two thoughts -

1 - Is it uncommon now that shows dont open with a huge advance pre-sale? In years past I know that people bought tickets before something opened - but since 9/11 that changed a great deal (I remember reading some article about that at the time... too tired to google hunt for it)

2- The advertisements for this have been piss-poor pathetic. How do you not even post on Facebook for New Years Eve clips of "The Perfect Year?" I bought my tickets already and shared it with another "die-hard fan" who had no idea until I shared it that this was coming back

Really strange

LOTS of seats available. I checked a mid-May Sunday and saw lots of orchestra seats - including center adjacent to premium rows.

Not attending. We enjoyed it last May in London. We're leaving on a QM2 crossing in May and I decided to check out availability for it and Hello Dolly before posting an offer to help with recommendations and info for fellow travellers on the cruise roll call. (Personally, we're seeing nine shows in the six days before boarding. Six Degrees of Separation, Dear Evan Hansen, Glass Menagerie, Pacific Overtures, Hello Dolly, War Paint, Natasha...and the Great Comet, Come From Away, Sweeney Todd)

Debating whether to scrap up some extra cash to see this as the surprise factor for me. Either this or War Paint

I am sure it has been asked before, but is there any word on a discount code for this show?
