Apparently there were a few songs available via the Atlantic site that have now been taken down? Anybody know where else to find them?

I'll be interested to hear if there are significant changes from the off-Broadway run. Otherwise, it's not really a high priority for me to see it again, even though it was a very enjoyable evening. And genuinely funny, not just "theater funny."
The best part of this news for me is that hopefully we'll get an album.
While I feel bad that Indecent isn't setting the box office on fire, I hope it means Katrina Lenk will continue with The Band's Visit.

Unfortunately for Indecent, Lenk will absolutely be continuing with The Band's Visit. The Cort has another tenant lined up for the fall.

It's SpongeBob, isn't it?

Maybe I'm thinking of another show, but didn't this just record a cast album? I wonder if it will go the way of great comet and record another one.
I've heard fantastic things about this show, and I can't wait to see more of it!!

The Band's Visit has not recorded a cast album.

I listened to the song clips on the Atlantic website before they were taken down- I love Welcome to Nowhere and Omar Sharif!
Really looking forward to this, as the reviews and word of mouth were superb

Gosh! Wish I'd gotten the chance to listen to those tracks.

Jeez, me too! Omar Sharif was spellbinding.

Wish it had slightly more "flare" to it - using the S to make a musical staff or something, or something to indicate the story a bit more. But it is pretty. And does signify the place.

Hopefully, the full poster capitalizes on the iconic potential of the band's uniforms.

Agreed! I hope they decide to ditch the pay phone image they used for the Atlantic artwork, too. It definitely serves a thematic purpose in the show, but I don't think it would best sell the show to a wide audience.

How does this show compare to the movie? I thought the movie was completely forgettable (I had to look it up on the IMDB just to remember what it was, and that I saw it).

Looking at seats for this for October previews...regular priced $149-159, plus fees), no codes at the moment, for orchestra seats. Any recommendations on where a good view for this production would be at the Barrymore? Are there often codes available for previews if I wait a while?

Apologies if this is a dumb question. I've been lurking for a bit but, as you can see, just recently made an account.
I really want to see this show. The question is, When? Because of my location and budget, I can only make it to NYC once - maybe twice - a year. I'll be in the city around Thanksgiving, and already have tickets for Sweeney that trip. I'd prefer to schedule another trip for springtime to see Band's Visit. My concern is that this could be one of those beautiful, quiet shows that doesn't find a huge audience and closes early. Of course, there's no way to know for certain, but I would kick myself if I purchased April tickets for a show I never get to see. So I'm wondering: Is it a relatively safe bet to book for March/April and cross my fingers, or should I find a way to see the show around December or January?

I don't think we're going to know how this show will fare commercially until its first few weeks of grosses come out. If I were in your shoes, I'd play it safe and book tickets for December/January. New musicals historically have a harder time lasting through the spring when they've opened in the fall, so you'd be erring on the side of caution if you plan for sooner than later. (Personally, I think this show has generated enough buzz that it'll run through next spring, but stranger things have happened.)

see it on your first trip with Sweeney and come back in the spring to see My Fair Lady and the other shows that you know you'll be dying to see then...

Thanks! This is really helpful.

My Fair Lady, Carousel, Once on this Island... The number of shows I want to see far exceeds what my wallet will allow. (Also, I forgot to mention I'm seeing DEH and Great Comet next week, so I've probably overextended myself already!)

How funny. I was just saying the other day that I wondered if they would transfer given all of the great notices and the captivating premise. Break a leg!!!

As far as I can tell without grabbing my program, this is everyone from the off Broadway run, right?
