This early bird got a veggie pie.

I got tix for first weekend in March and when I Googled the show, newyorkcitytheatre.com has it listed as playing through June 30.

Got a ticket for April, sans food. I enjoy savory pies, but I can't eat (or, more accurately, drink anything) that close to curtain! Looking forward to it -- last time I saw Sweeney Todd, it was a free outdoor production in a soccer field in Brooklyn.

London cast not extending: "The cast includes the stars of the original London Tooting production, who will reprise their performances for 8 weeks only through April 9th. Replacements for Secomb, McCarthy, Smith and Taylor will be announced at a later date."

Sucks about the casting - maybe this is where Carolee comes in?
Any suggestions about seats? Also, looks like they only have $125-$145 tickets now :O

That's pretty exciting, though!

I only wish they announced the casting AND the tickets, so I could decide whether a double-dip is in order.

I snagged a table seat for early May. That's unfortunate about the cast too, but that explains why there was a short window for the first block of tickets. I had no choice. I'm only going to be in NY late April/early May so I'm pleased to at least be able to see this production next year.

Went for a counter seat ticket for April - was so tempted to go for a table ticket, but I think it will be easier to take in all the action sitting at the counter. At any rate, this is going to be amazing - can't wait!!

I noticed that too. I was eyeing on getting one of those just this morning but something came up and now this afternoon I see none priced at $69!

I thought exactly the same, hope we're right. :)

I was doing the same, but there were three counter seats available. I wanted two. And the system wouldn't let me leave a single. So, table it is!

That happened to me too, it was super frustrating...I've never heard of such a thing, especially when it's an odd number of seats in a particular section. I had to pick another performance. I see plenty of single seats left for performances now.

That has happened to me at the Richard Rogers Theater before, both for Hamilton and If/Then, not sure why that specific theater. In that case, I called Ticketmaster and they sold me the two I wanted...

I was able to buy 2 tickets in the upstairs back row! Saw a few open up today in late March. I hope they opened up tix on the day you wish to go!
I do wonder if there will be rush. My friend told me historically the Barrow Street theatre does student rush only; hence why I went ahead and bought tix this morning when I saw the cheaper seats open up.

One imagines the producers decide this, not the theater. Also, it may be a rush based on availability, in which case... there may be none.

That make sense! I just looked at the seating chart and counted there are only 130 seats per performance (100 downstairs and 30 upstairs).

I just picked up the $69 counter seats upstairs for late March also

Counter seat, with meat pie, early March -- I am a customer too !!! I can't WAIT for this one

This wasn't really on my radar for our May trip, but it is now! I looked at tickets for when we will be in town and there are some left. Question about the seating, it looks like there are essentially 2 types of seats, counter and table. Do I take it that if you sit at a table you are actually sitting at a proper table facing towards the table? Would the seats be a normal chair that you can turn to face the stage? Are the counter seats higher like a typical counter? Neither sounds particularly comfortable to be honest haha.....

I don't think there is a stage, or that the action will all happen in one spot. The site says the action happens at the counter and around the four tables. So, more immersive...
Sounds like you want a counter seat that faces into the action.

Never been to the Barrow Strett before. Will this production have a Playbill?
