I feel like a high school aged child could see the play but I'm not sure if a school group would bring them unless they were older and/or they were confident parents wouldn't complain. Like, if you had a teenager, you could take them to the show, but trying to distribute tickets to college-aged kids makes more sense. Also, a lot of the references might be too old for them to pick up on.

I'm not gonna elaborate on this much, but let's say that a little birdie told me that there have been a lot of google forms going to one or two specific universities in NYC on a weekly basis so that the younger audience can sit in the seats as long as they can get there that night and "fly" to the theatre on time. So it seems this already has been done to some degree

If it achieves the objective, not amateurish or unprofessional at all. Maybe you really don't know, but that's the only aim. 

PS those 2 words are synonyms.

They’ve been sold out since last night, unfortunately 

*unless they announce another extension...

What exactly does it mean when they say "(insert celebrity name here) buys out a performance"? Are they purchasing all the remaining tickets for said performance? Do they give the tickets away?

For the person earlier in the thread who was questioning whether The Piano Lesson was selling comparably to Leopoldstadt...last week TPL outgrossed Leopold, for what it's worth.

Here’s a link for tonight’s giveaway. (It’s legit)

I mean it's great the show got seats filled its final week. Too bad folks like me who actually wanted to pay money for a ticket were frozen out.

A bunch of seats have been released for tonight, and code AINTNOBOX still works on Telecharge Offers.

Went last night and the house was packed to the rafters it seemed. Last nights performance was truly how it should’ve felt all along - with the audience being the seventh cast member laughing, shouting, hooting, and hollering. Everyone was on their A-Game, especially Marchant Davis, who got a Standing O as the Pastor and really milked that scene for all the ad-libs and Crystal Lucas-Perry as “Black”, got also got a Standing O for that whole scene.

Jordan delivered a powerful speech about breaking down doors and creating new spaces for BIPOC theatre and a little history of the Belasco about how the balcony used to be for colored people only with its own separate entrance.

Many Broadway stars in the audience - including Sara Ramirez, Patina Miller, John-Michael Lyles, LaChanze and a few others. So sad this closed because last night was a JOURNEY
