That said, I too hope it has a solid rush policy.
I also don't believe, especially with these prices, that this will be a runaway hit. Lansbury will do most of the sales, barring Zeta-Jones gets rave reviews. She is a talented actress, but her celebrity is on the wane, it's been a while since her Oscar. She doesn't have the marquee value she had five years ago. And with her and Lansbury being the only names in the show that could spell a problem.
Elsewhere, I am delighted that Leigh Ann Larkin is in this production.

For the vast majority of the public, Jones is the draw.

*Catherine Zeta-Jones will not be performing the role of Desiree from Tuesday - February 16 to Sunday - February 21, 2010, and Tuesday - March 30, 2010, to Sunday - April 4, 2010.
I assume Jayne Paterson is her understudy.

Although I agree that Zeta-Zones is definitely more of a name than Lansbury, I don't think this is why she said this comment. I thought she said it because, she didn't want to feel like people thought it was 'her' production (i.e. she did not want it to 'rest on her shoulders').

That's exactly what you said: that Lansbury will be a draw over Zeta-Jones.

qolbinau, I agree. I think she wanted a celebrity name to carry most of the weight to take most of the pressure off her shoulders.
If things go according to plan of course this will Catherine's show.
I still don't think, however, that at these prices (which I also took for me granted and did not put in my first post) that more of the initial (I.E. pre-opening) sales will hinge on Lansbury and also Sondheim's reputation. But then I could be underestimating Zeta-Jones' starpower. I think she is very talented, don't misunderstand, but I don't see the general public becoming as excited about paying upwards of $100 to see her as I do the paparazzis waiting to congregate outside the stage door.

So I tried for seats. For previews I can get rear orchestra. For regular performances only side orchestra.
I supposed they will open up better seating in October when the box office opens?

I will content myself with the memory of seeing the original. I thought $ 125 would hold for awhile. It looks like any big new show will increase the base price of a ticket. Watch for The Addams Family to increase prices after opening especially if they get raves.
By the way, the facility fee on the ST James is now $ 2. This is called getting it from both ends. Pass the vaseline kiddies.
The producers are intent to continue to price Broadway out of reach for average theatergoers.
Gordon Gekko is happy.

Mr. Roxy, I don't think Addams Family will be getting raves, so you will a get a discount I am sure. Plus, after opening night you won't get all the headlining principles on the stage at once. It will be just like Young Frankenstein.

Imagine where we would be if that happened - higher prices (Stiffling a laugh)

All Jujamcyn theaters now charge $2 and have for at least a year. The producers have nothing to do with that and no say in it.

What was the last film that CZJ did? More importantly: when was her last HIT film?
Bearing that in mind: she has also returned to being the T-Mobile spokesperson...
Do we really think tourists are going to have any idea what "A Little Night Music" is simply by name?
