| I realize that everything is going to be speculation since there's not really a comparable precedent, but I was wondering what people think about how hard it will be to get tickets to Sondheim's final musical at the Shed if you're not a high-level member. I joined at the $10 level, which gets you a level of pre-sale, but there are two levels that open up before that, one at $100 membership and one at $500. The $500 level is not on my radar screen. The $100 is not out of the question but I am unlikely to use any of the other benefits besides earlier access to this show, so I'd rather not pay the $100 if getting that earlier access wasn't needed. On one hand, I am guessing that there is a lot of interest in the show given the enormous level of media coverage for Sondheim's passing in the general press, which was more than I thought there would be for any Broadway figure, even one who is such a legend for theater people. On the other hand, we don't know the cast, and we don't know whether it's any good. It's a gamble that it's unclear how many people will take. The details of the run are still unknown, but it seems like it will be around 16 weeks in a 500-seat theater, so that's a reasonable number of seats that are potentially available. I just don't know. Any thoughts? |
