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

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.

Liza's Headband said: "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?"

I completely agree the space is too large for this production (site unseen). I was just speaking to it they could. Ryan Murphy was a commercial producers attached to Long Day's Journey into Night at Roundabout so they could all three be attached as producers. Highly unlikely and a bit impracticle for many reasons, but possible.

Also LCT and Scott Rudin.

Email from New Group: Due to circumstances beyond our control, the partial view seats that you purchased are no longer available for audience seating. We are pleased to be able to upgrade your seats, for free, to full view locations in the side mezzanine or side orchestra. If you purchased multiple tickets in your order, your seats are still together. We apologize for any inconvenience. 

yay, some luck! (i'm guessing the seats were pulled for all shows...)

Me too me too! Do we have to actually do anything or are they automatically changing them?

Here's an answer from the New Group on my question above if anyone else was wondering:

"Hello,

 

You don't have to do anything; your seats have automatically been upgraded and your new tickets will be available for pick-up at Will Call starting one hour before the performance. 

 

Thank you,

Cathy"

That email is the best news I've received all week

Wow! This has been a sucky week, but this news makes up for a lot of it! I'm so happy they didn't see fit to just refund our money.

I just replied to the email, saying thank you for handling this in such a classy way.

This legit made my week! So glad New Group was willing to trade the tickets vs. refunding our money! I'll be in town to run the NYC marathon the next day and am so excited to see this cast the night before!

this must be selling very well. Now through Dec. 30! Congrats! I still wonder if with strong reviews if they'll opt to transfer?

It's selling extremely well.  I just checked for more tickets to the performance I'm attending and all that's left are 8 sporadic singles.  Most dates I also checked just have sporadic singles now.

Oh, please let this transfer. Also: on Broadway.com they're saying that Cody Williams will replace Joel Perez, but he was just tweeting about this not three days ago. Anybody know if this is true? I'm sure Cody is great, but I was really looking forward to Joel in his roles.

Great news but I am thoroughly confused by this being announced now --- I bought a ticket for a 12/21 performance back on September 2nd. So it must have already been on sale at the time but only "officially" announced through Dec. 11th? Very strange.

[neonlightsxo]

Posted: 9/21/16 at 3:40pm

That's not that strange. Happens quite a lot.

Cinders: they're both on the New Group page for the show. Can't they both be in it? Updated On: 9/21/16 at 03:40 PM

Posted: 9/21/16 at 3:45pm

Well, yes, of course. But Broadway.com reported that Williams will be filling in "for the previously announced Joel Perez," which is why I asked, because they are both listed on the website.

Cody Williams has been part of the ensemble since the get-go.
