| I was struck by how high the prices are for Waitress now that Sara Bareilles is back. The "regular" orchestra tickets are $229, but premium are $552 on weekdays and $600 on weekends. I think this is only the fourth show to break the $500 mark for premiums or the $200 mark for regular seats (Hamilton, Hello Dolly and Springsteen being the others), but unfortunately, it's just a matter of time before this pricing becomes common for the hits. I was kind of interested in seeing Bareilles, but I'm probably going to sit this one out given the pricing. |

| The $600 seats are striking. They've taken the airline pricing model to an extreme. There's a pair eighth-row center tomorrow night for $229. Hardly cheap, but not $600. And on Tuesdays next month, the top premium is $352. I did a short piece. | |

| Did they have $500 premium seats when Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick returned in 2004? | |

| I think The Producers was at $480, although that would be the equivalent of around $620 today with inflation. | |
