bwahaha will see whose right when this thing closes at a huge loss because tourist are the actual idiots in this scenario.

Yeah, we'll see WHO'S right but based on the above I'm pretty sure I know who it's gonna be. But it's clear that this play will exceed your intellectual grasp, so don't buy a ticket. And just so you understand, this play will likely succeed without a single tourist buying a ticket. There are more than enough people in the NY Metro area to fill up this 16 week run all by themselves, which they will do, just as it sold out in London.

If your mother gets scared that easily, I'm not sure that The Humans is the best fit for her either. It gets pretty suspenseful at the end for those people who haven't seen the show before.

I'm very curious about this show and was surprised to see that $89 are the cheapest seats. I know it's coming off a sold out run but there have been plenty of shows transferring from London that ended up doing horrible here. I see this being a hard sell here. I'll wait for TDF as well.

^ that is correct, seating doesn't matter so much, which is reflected by the pricing.

I just meant that the back row of the mezz is $89, which is more expensive than most/almost every(?) other Broadway show(s), because it's still pretty much the same show no matter where you sit. There is practically no visual aspect to the show.

Am I correct to assume they are removing Rows A & B of the Orchestra for this?

Good article here...

I'm looking forward to this!

It played the Barbican earlier this year

Any word about the alternative actor for non-McBurney performances? I may have to go on a Wednesday matinee or a Tuesday night.

I'm also confused about seating. It it really doesn't matter then I don't see the point in buying anything but the cheapest seat. Has anyone bought tickets yet? I'm thinking about waiting for TDF for this one, even though it's high on my list."

It's kind of early, but any ideas if they would offer standing room or rush to this show? Deciding if I want to spring for the full price tickets or risk waiting...

Thanks for posting...
