Hadestown has stopped doing the stagedoor, and the touring production of Mean Girls has also stopped. I'd think more productions will follow in the coming days to remain healthy and not risk exposure to the virus.

Won the lottery for tomorrow night!! Checked Telecharge and I'm in the front row! Excited to see one of my favorite actresses in one of my favorite plays.

It's a shame because it not only will it make for a long second half, but each act has a clearly defined arc that I imagine will suffer if acts two and three are pushed together. I remember reading an interview with Pam MacKinnon and Albee around the time of the last revival where they said that the two intermissions still operate in real time--in their understanding of the play, those intermissions are two fifteen-minute stretches when none of the four characters are in the living room.

Any reports on the rest of the cast? I think we all imagined Laurie Metcalf would be spectacular, but it really is an ensemble piece. It's crazy to think that the last revival just seven years ago marked the Broadway acting debuts of Tracy Letts and Carrie Coon, both of whom are now on the verge of celebrity status."

How much does the crew have to be paid if the show's ten minutes longer because of an extra intermission?

^ it depends. If the extra ten minutes causes the show to end at 10:50, it costs $0 more. If and extra ten minutes makes the show come down at 11:00, then some people will go into overtime.

if it's any consolation at all, the second half didn't feel long in the slightest. The production does a very good job at keeping the pace.

Hey everyone. Kind of a weird question. I won two front row lottery tickets for tonight, but the show was cancelled. Is there any way to transfer those tickets to a later date or am I just out of luck?

Assuming a refund will automatically be processed for you, I don't think there is. But I don't think you will have trouble getting in at lotto or rush price after it reopens.

I had tickets for next week. Really really hoping this makes it through however long this lasts- i am betting Metcalf and Tovey have other engagements but I was really looking forward to it.

I had tickets for April 2nd. Going to try to reschedule this as soon as possible since Metcalf only does limited runs to accomodate her schedule for THE CONNERS
