| It was at the public in 2008. 15 years ago—time flies. | |

| This is different, though. I think it's extremely likely that this will transfer to Broadway, and I would also say it's highly likely that it will happen this spring. And I think the ticket prices for non-premium tickets on Broadway will probably be similar and will be much easier to come by (although similarly-priced seats on Broadway won't be as close). I'm really hoping I can get a ticket tomorrow, but I think that, rather than spending the extra $90 to go from the $10 to the $100 level to get earlier access, I'll probably have to spend that money on the ticket itself at these prices. |

| I would think that if the transfer were a foregone conclusion, they would have just gone to the main stem directly. My first thought is that they were planning to so something physically that would have been a challenge or impossible or terribly expensive a la HLL. |

| They must have gotten a great deal on the lease or enhancement money. There are several 1000 seat houses available this fall on broadway. | |

| It says Mr. Kirdahy (solo) is producing with the Shed and him "co-presenting" it. I don't know what that actually means but if it is a co-pro or the Shed's production with enhancement money, then the description is misleading. I think it is reasonable to assume it is not as expensive directly and certainly not indirectly. If the show has a design that would not fit easily in an unaltered Broadway house, the difference in load in budget would likely be enormous (especially if, as I suspect, there is no stage hand contract signed by the Shed). I have the sense that Tom is trying to do this on a budget, and that may well explain the absence of Mr. Lane from the cast announcement. But I know nothing. | |

| The press release with the cast dates starts "Producers Tom Kirdahy, Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and The Stephen Sondheim Trust today announced..." and at the end has "Here We Are is co-presented by The Shed" | |
