I've been waiting & watching for when Audience Rewards tickets for past August became available and now they are for up to December 22 BUT ugggggg... they upped the number of points massively to 9000+cash for mid-mezzanine, 12000 +cash (14000 with no cash) for front mezz, & 20000 for orchestra. 

Maybe I will be able to use my points for the Met Opera again like I did for my December trip as they asked for less.

I've been watching the seating charts for performances during my trip in November, and suddenly they started to look more & more sold.  I was looking at some weekday matinee days so perhaps a bunch of recent group sales?  Bit the bullet & went with a less expensive upper mezz ailse seat for a Wednesday matinee.  I'm prepared to be surrounded by high schoolers.  Looking at reddit today, people are lining up for rush starting at 4am.  That's something I'm definitely NOT prepared to do!

Does anyone know how long the original cast are in the show for?

Any updates to whether Brody is still missing a lot of shows?  I want to see it again, but I'd like to see him in it.

Brody and Brent are off for family events. Daryl is in Italy. Sky was off as well but I’m not sure why. No one has left. Just illness and vacations."

How can I find out if anyone is out of tonight's show?

I would follow the Broadwaycovers Twitter. Scrolling through their feed, the last time they reported on The Outsiders was July 31.

I don't think that's up to date. I went last week and Sky was out, and anecdotally I've heard he's been out a lot recently.

I went to see the show again on Sunday and Brody was in. Sky Lakota Lynch and Brent Comer were both out - Josh Strobl was on for Johnny and Dan Berry was on for Darrel. There were a couple swings on in the ensemble as well. Josh and Dan were fantastic and Brody did such a beautiful job with the role and I’m so glad to see him after missing him last time. 

The best way to keep track of people being in and out is to follow the understudies on Instagram. Josh tends to post when he’s on for Ponyboy and Johnny and I’ve seen Trevor post when he’s been on in the past too.

I second following the understudies/swings/standbys on socials - but also, Understudies.org is a fantastic new resource. You can set alerts, submit new dates, see who’s going on today, etc!

I saw the show last night and the only person out was Daryl Tofa (Two-Bit) played by Jordan Chin (Swing).

The show was excellent.  I took my 23 yr old son who loved it, as well.  We watched the movie the night prior as he had no familiarity with the source material.

I love a Thursday matinee!!

 

I believe this, The Great Gatsby and A Wonderful Life will be the Broadway shows offering Thursday matinees now.

Aw, what a cute totally made up story.  This show is crazy expensive but it's in amazing shape and they sound better than ever. I think they will all signed annual contracts so whichever song they'll perform in at the parade will be look and sound great.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The people on Reddit who have been reporting all summer on the rush line seem to know what's been going on there.  I just hope people stay safe.  For myself I think anywhere I have been in NYC feels safer than the parts of my city that I walk through every day.

Is Brody playing the Thursday matinee?  thank you....

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 9/18/24 at 4:57pm

I saw last Thursdays matinee and Brody was in. 

[Play Esq.]

Posted: 9/19/24 at 4:41pm

Brody was not on during today's (Thursday) matinee. 

Having said that, I found the show  mediocre from beginning to end: I doubt his involvement would have altered my opinion.

According to Reddit, the first people in the rush line this morning got there are 3am to stake out their spot.
