Just got my ticket for November 6 at 7:30pm. I can't wait!

I was able to snag a Limited View seat in November, when tickets went on sale to the public a few minutes ago. Super excited!!!
Posted: 8/22/16 at 10:33am
They've extended for two weeks, and tickets are now on sale to the general public!

Are the mezzanine seats okay? I can't get two seats together in the orchestra!

Just got an obstructed view seat for December! Praise!

Any inkling this has hopes of a Broadway transfer?
Posted: 8/22/16 at 4:50pm
Everything I have heard says that they are aiming for Broadway in Fall 2017 after Sutton films the next season of Younger

A Broadway transfer to the Vivian Beaumont was heavily hinted at today on Live@Five on Broadway.com
Posted: 8/22/16 at 10:23pm
From that tiny stage to the Beaumont? Huh??
Posted: 8/22/16 at 10:35pm
I saw the Live at Five too, but could they be talking about Circle in the Square?
Posted: 8/22/16 at 10:41pm
Well they specifically said thrust stage (meaning Beaumont).
Posted: 8/23/16 at 12:56am
Technically, the Circle can *become a thrust, given the proper scenic design (and removal of 1/4 of the seats).
Posted: 8/23/16 at 1:01am
Yes ^^
It was a Thrust design for LADY DAY. I can't imagine IN TRANSIT is going to set box office on fire.
Posted: 8/23/16 at 1:10am
Yeah, I would imagine Circle is the most obvious choice for a transfer. Let's see the actual production and reviews first though.

Yes. It's a small theater.

The Beaumont is also occupied by Oslo starting in March.
Posted: 8/30/16 at 11:09am
Wouldn't a move to the Beaumont also not make sense because it's like Roundabout being non profit? Or can Lincoln Center rent out to other groups? Not sure how this all works.
I'm going on November 16th. Got front row on the left side.

A show that starts at a nonprofit can easily transfer to another nonprofit. It would just depend on if The New Group wants to share money/producing credit with Lincoln Center and if Lincoln Center would want to give up its space for a year or more. LCT transferring War Horse from the National Theatre is a good example.
Venus in Fur transferred from Classic Stage Company to MTC to a commercial production as well.

Lincoln Center can rent the space out. Ann played there recently.

Except that you're forgetting a commercial producer is already attached to this production of SWEET CHARITY, which probably would mean LCT rents out the Beaumont (rather than become a co-producer) provided they have the ability to do so. I'd be surprised if New Group and McCollum wanted to bring in an entity as large as LCT. What would be the point?

Thanks for the replies. I don't know much about the business end of theater. I remember reading here how someone suggested Roundabout picking this up for a Broadway run, but being shot down because it would be going from 1 nonprofit to another. Though I should know by now that a lot of people probably don't know much either.

Re: one non-profit to another, it's not common, but it happens.
