Detroit @ Playwrights

I want to see this show soooo bad! But it's basically sold-out and the only tickets are like $95. Is it worth it? Are there any cheaper options?

[WithoutATrace]

$95?? Wow. I paid $50 to see it the first week of previews. I didn't even think it was worth that much...

[RippedMan]

No? Not worth the trouble? It's weird cause the discount code is like "Detroit Broadway" so maybe they're hoping to move it?

[WithoutATrace]

I definitely don't think it is worth $95. I went to see it with three other people and we all left thinking it was very "meh." Nothing to write home about.

[RippedMan]

Good to know. I think I'll skip it then. I just really like Amy Ryan. I'm gonna guess they're trying to move it to Broadway with all those names attached.

I am seeing it on the 30th. It sounds very good.

I saw it on Tuesday and adored it...performances, writing, and direction (with the exception of one scene...) were all quite good. Certain metaphors are a little on the heavy-handed side, but most others are quite subtle. It's a play where, initially, the dialogue feels a little forced and/or peculiar, but lines begin to gel together to make a more complete whole.

I ended up paying about 80 per ticket. Ryan alone was worth the price of a ticket. Keep checking the Playwrights' webpage and something may come up -- worked for me.

The forced dialogue is very appropriate for four people who don't know each other. The dialogue becomes more natural as the relationships grow.
