THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES musical will have pre-Bway tryout this summer in Boston — Page 2

Pre-sale has started, for anyone that has limited availiblity to attend. It's certainly selling, but nothing crazy. A few dates are listed as "limited" but none as low. (Opeining night appears to only have made the balcony available for sale.)

Prices range from 40 (rear balcony) to almost 300 (which include a "package". I got two front row mezz tickets for 315 total, including fees. (139 base price.) It's a pretty big place, 1700 seats.

For anyone interested in the access code (QOV), ATG for tickets, easily accesible through the shows website.

That's not a link to the presale. It still needs the code, which is QOV (for the third time).

Not sure if it's a fan presale thing, but the prices seem on the low side, which is great. Since it's ATG, though, I'm guessing dynamic pricing could kick in at some point, and I'd expect prices to be higher for the possible one-week extension that's built in to the run.

For those looking to do the Gatsby/Versailles weekend, good availability in Mezz on Friday but Saturday very sold already with no matinee performance.

Out of curiosity -- any intel on who the choreographer, designers, and music team are yet?

"Caviar Dreams"

Didn't love that but interested in hearing more and not going to judge a score by one song.

Also...Kristin's playing child Jackie too?

Do you know a child who makes a minimum wage salary as mentioned in the first line of the song?

I assume the pedestrian nature of the lyrics is also related to this being a child singing.

You’re giving a Schwartz a lot more credit and latitude than I ever could. I already have my tickets and excited to see this because of Kristin, but those lyrics are pretty trite and the rhyme coupling very lazy.

Those lyrics are dreadful.

I'd love to know why the lyrics are "dreadful"/"pedestrian." I actually think they're quite clever and fun--esp at the top of the song. It's VERY Wicked-ish but without the Harburg-ian word extensions of made up words to make rhymes. Yes, its tough cause he's stuck with "dreams" and "wishes" to make couplets. But nothing was clunky. What modern scores (5 yrs or less---written by the "new" generation) have been so much better? (and, yes, there are plenty that I admire--but if these are "dreadful"---have you seen this year's new Bway shows!?!?!)

I was finishing the rhymes in my head before they were sung. That is never a good sign.
Adam Guettel, David Yazbek, and Jason Robert Brown are of the “newer generation” and I don’t think they would write lyrics as cringey as that song.

flaming tar pits from hell

Unoriginal originality from the flaming tar pits of hell sounds like a must buy for me. After investigating the seating/price/shlep ratio, I am waiting for it to come to Broadway though.
