THE ICEMAN COMETH (2018) Previews

Previews for the fourth Broadway revival of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh begin in just a few days (Thursday, March 22, 2018) at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. Starring Denzel Washington and directed by George C. Wolfe, The Iceman Cometh is set to open officially on Thursday, April 26 for a limited run currently through Sunday, July 1.

Who's going?!

I'll be there next Tuesday. I'm very excited about it, as a fan of both Wolfe and Washington. I'll post some brief thoughts afterward!

The second Rudin show within a month to postpone previews due to set issues?

I walk past the Jacobs every day, and there's been load-in materials changing daily underneath the marquee for at least the past month. Strikes me a little odd.

CoercedBull said: "Oof, I hope this isn't a bad sign for this production overall. I assume that there is something more behind the decision to postpone than just set materials."



I don't see a reason to assume either of those things.

Remember that Three Tall Women cancelled their first 2 previews, and now the production seems to be going exceedingly well.

The Iceman Cometh is a ONE SET show!

This was my thought as well, although JBroadway makes a good point re: Three Tall Women. Either way, I'm excited to see this on Tuesday!

Anyone who's there tonight or this weekend, I'd love a report of how the show's looking. I'm curious about the runtime of the loooooong show.

I've also never been to the Jacobs before. My wife and I have rear mezz seats, row J. Can anyone confirm how the sight lines are from there?"

I sat in the rear mezz for THE COLOR PURPLE and thought it was a great view.

Thanks a bunch! Very excited for this.

Full house. No merchandise. Selling water bottles but pouring into cup so bottles will not make noise.

When picking up our tickets for tonight, I heard the guy at the box office tell someone that there are $40 partial view seats that go on sale when the box office opens.
