THE BOYS IN THE BAND (2018) Previews — Page 2

Nycat63 said: "Thrilled to hear this as I have tickets for my June trip!

I apologize for asking about seating but I bought my tickets a few weeks ago and best I could do other than premium was Orch Row O. After I purchased, I saw that scalpers had bought up TONS of seats (at least for the June dates I was looking at, though I suspect same is true for the entire run) so while I’m thrilled for the show, I hate to see the scalpers win.

If anyone would care to make me feel ok about sitting way back in Row O, please do . Haven’t been to the Booth. If I won’t be able to appreciate it from back there I might consider trying to exchange for premium but it would be very rough on the budget. All opinions appreciated! "

I sat in the last row of the center mezzanine. I definitely think the experience would have been even more amazing if I were closer, but it's a small theater and I feel like even the side seats would have good views. There was a tall person in front of me blocking a portion of the center downstairs section (why did they put the seats directly behind each other?), but nothing important happened there 98% of the time, and I could lean forward a bit because I was in the back.

As for the stage door (for anyone who's wondering), of course there were a lot of people there. They let people line up past where the barricades ended as long as they stayed behind the line. Maybe they'll get more for future shows? All of the actors came out and most of them kindly stopped to take pictures. All the Broadway debuts were very unfamiliar with the stage door process and their castmates playfully made fun of them to us when they found out. They had a photographer taking photos to document the first preview (I assume), so maybe the pictures will be released.

All this makes me exquisitely happy. I got a little misty reading your post. In our current political climate (I live in Oklahoma), we need shows and casts like this even more. June 23rd can’t come quick enough!

How are the cuts to the text? What are the cuts to the text?

For those who aren't on Instagram, here are screenshots of the videos posted on the play's Instagram last night. These are viewable on the Instagram Stories section:

Tony weekend my daughter and I are seeing this Friday and then both parts of Angels in America on Saturday, so your post delights me.

I am so f***ed off I am going to miss this.

Any chance it might extend do we think?

There is bare ass shown (but not the cowboy’s) and of course the language will always send it into R rated territory.

Re: cuts, A friend thought this was going to be 90 minutes and with cuts, but it was 2 hours (no intermission) and if there were cuts I didn’t notice them.

Does anyone know when they're likely to announce their rush policy?
