I agree. This won't be a hard to get ticket until word of mouth and tony noms/wins gets "out there".

1. Lucky Guy stars Tom Hanks.
2. Matilda has had buzz for quite some time before tix went on sale.

3. This only got announced 2 weeks ago, no time for buzz except from us Theatre Geeks.

Good to know. Planning a trip to see this not long after it opens. I want to get advance tickets to this and rush Lucky Guy and maybe Spider Man.

Are the Lucky Guy tix all gone for when you'll be in NY? If not, I'd get advance tix for that.

Theres still tickets left for when We're think about going. I don't care if I don't get great seats or have to get up early. I'm going to be very disappointed if Tom Hanks ends up being gone when I go.

If seeing Hanks is so important, why not buy them in advance? Pippin shouldn't be difficult to get tix day off.

Pippin is defenetly top priority this time around, hoping for good seats. Is Lucky Guy gunna be hard to rush?

Big names usually are.

I wouldn't automatically equate shows with big names as being hard to get tickets for either via rush or telecharge. For example, when Equus was on the boards, a lot of people thought that due to various factors (Radcliffe being in it after doing Harry Potter, him being nude or his costar played uncle Vernon in the films) would sell tickets and make it a hot ticket. Maybe it was for awhile. But, I remember seeing it several times on TKTS and found it rather easy to get a student rush ticket for it a couple of times when it was playing.

So, it can be a fifty fifty shot to be honest with you. But, if you're so bent on seeing Lucky Guy I'd buy in advance. Also, they haven't announced a rush policy. For all we know they might not have one.

Anyone know how to get opening night tickets to Pippin?? I checked through the Audience Rewards pre-sale, but opening night didn't show up on the dates...out of curiosity, also checked opening night tickets for Lucky Guy, and that date also wasn't on the list. Does this mean opening night is sold out? Or are opening night tickets usually available closer to the date?

Just to clarify... I will be able to get AA-p tickets to Pippin if I buy them like a month before, right?

lenstersf, It depends upon the show. It is ultimately the decision of the producers as to whether or not opening night tickets are released for sale to the general public.

With that said, if tickets do happen to be released, they may only be in certain sections of the theater. For instance, the tickets that were made available for purchase for the opening night of Leap of Faith were all in the balcony.The only thing to do is to keep checking Telecharge and to hope for the best.

Do you mean in the orchestra? Probably....but you just never know.

@dramamama... Thanks for the help with the noob questions. I'm kinda thinking this won't be as popular as I think it is, but I'm going to be pumped to maybe see this in its first week. Do you think Lucky Guy is a good choice for a second show?

It's got a pretty impressive cast....but its an unknown entity -- so who really knows. But I'll be seeing it.

I've already seen alot of the big wig musicals before and I've never seen a professional straight play before, so I figure it would be a good choice. Is it normal for musical's first few shows not to sell out instantaniously or is Pippin just not that big a deal?

Cast announced! I'm really excited that Patina is returning to Broadway. Terrence Mann and Andrea Martin are two of my favorite Broadway performers. Charlotte d'Amboise is very talented as well.

so happy for this show and to see Miller, Martin, Mann & d'Amboise back on Broadway. I know for the A.R.T. production, Brad Musgrove was the only swing. I'd imagine they'd add at least one more(female) swing to the cast, if not more.

A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

Where the #&@# is the discount code? Even Matilda has finally tossed us a meager little discount code. Is Pippin really selling so well that they aren't going to offer anything?
