Will be in Boston in September and saw that this World Premiere will be at the ART.

Any idea of cast?

Also, saw that Huntington Theater will be doing MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG  - and I think its the same production from the UK.


So. Many. Choices.

Good find! It looks like the same post also says Stephen Spinella is playing Warhol.

Seeing Warhol/Capote this fall as well...very psyched about this casting!

That would be amazing casting - wow.  Saw Leslie's one man play years ago in LA and was not only moved but laughed my ass off.

Excited at the thought of seeing Mr. Spinella - def getting tickets to it now.  How do I squeeze in Merrily is the question...

Thank you

Does ART ever discount? Planning to be in town during the run of this and $70-85 seems a little more than what I want to spend. I'm not a student, so not eligible for those tix.

ART offers a small number of $25 tickets to all performances.   I'm still seeing some of those available for this production.   Also, ticket prices are considerably lower during the preview period.

I don't see any $25 tickets available for the dates I will be in town, which is why I asked. Thanks though.

At the Loeb Drama Center, Row B is the front row of the rear seating section of the theatre.   Ticket sales are brisk for this production.  In the past, for successful ticket sales at ART I have frequently found that they add a row of folding seats (Row A)  as the starting date of productions approach.   They sell these at a discount, labeled "obstucted view"  seats as  they are on the same level as the last row of the front section although it's across the wide aisle.   I have purchased them for $25/$35 in the past and the view of the stage has always been fine.  I suggest frequently monitoring ticket availability in the hopes that this will occur for this production.  If so,they will disappear quickly.

anyone off hand know the Opening Night for the show?  I'd prefer to see a frozen show than this in previews
