FESTEN Offers $25 Mezzanine Seats May 8-19

FESTEN, the Broadway play about a family with a dark secret, will extend a special offer for 10 days only entitled Student Pricing For All! This unique program will offer $25 mezzanine seats for all Monday thru Friday performances from May 8-19. These tickets must be purchased by Sunday, May 14. v "I am extremely proud of the New York production of Festen, and have been struck by the impact it seems to have on audiences, especially the young at heart," says Producer Bill Kenwright. "I'd like the broadest possible audience to see the show and opening up student pricing to everyone for the next two weeks will hopefully make that possible."

Directed by Rufus Norris, in a dramatization by David Eldridge from the Danish 1998 film, FESTEN hosts a cast of fourteen, including Larry Bryggman (Broadway's Proof, Twelve Angry Men), Michael Hayden (Hal in Lincoln Center's Tony winning Henry IV), Ali MacGraw (Goodbye, Columbus, The Getaway, Oscar nominee for Love Story), Julianna Margulies ("ER" and "Sopranos") and Jeremy Sisto ("Six Feet Under").

In FESTEN, a beloved patriarch (Larry Bryggman), surrounded by his wife (Ali MacGraw), his daughter (Julianna Margulies), his two sons (Michael Hayden as Christian; Jeremy Sisto as Michael) and a host of family and friends, is celebrating his 60th birthday at his country home. This promises to be a very special occasion, but as the evening progresses, the man's eldest son, Christian, feels compelled to break the silence surrounding a family secret. Standing to propose a toast, he offers his father - much to the delight of the guests - an amusing yet simple choice. And so the games begin. Revelations and accusations tumble across the dinner table, paving the way for a celebration that no one will ever forget.

In addition to Mr. Bryggman, Mr. Hayden, Ms. MacGraw, Ms. Margulies and Mr. Sisto, the cast of FESTEN features John Carter, Diane Davis, Keith Davis, David Patrick Kelly, Stephen Kunken, Carrie Preston, Christopher Evan Welch and C.J. Wilson.

Thomas Vinterberg's Festen (or The Celebration, as it was called when released in the U.S.) is the modern movie classic that put the Danish film movement Dogme 95 on the cultural map.
