I do wonder how the Act 2 opener could work in a Broadway theatre because they're built differently to the ones in London?

The stage door isn't the problem, it's more it would have to be retimed since Broadway orchestra seats are on street level. I realised today that the metaness of this production of Sunset extends beyond this production. The play Salome by Oscar Wilde played at the Savoy so it's a fun Easter Egg. |

It would have to be retimed in any other venue anyway, just as it was (presumably) carefully planned, mapped, and timed for the Savoy. That simply isn't an issue. |

It's a slight issue in that they will need to be more selective about the theatre. There's not only the timing and route in but also some theatres it would be a nightmare,impossible due to the crowds in the times square area.
Some theatres will definitely better than others for staging it.

I think the Shubert Theatre would be great if it were to go to Broadway, you could use Shubert Alley and 44th Street for the Act 2 opener. |

Yeah Shubert Alley was by thought, although rumours are the Shubert itself has next tenant lined up. I was out there last week and Shubert Alley seemed pretty quiet except start and end of shows. I don't know the booth Theater but that's same location but maybe too small |

Something I wanted to add caught me off guard to begin with , if u do get a chance of front row or close ….. Nicole picks out certain people in certain parts when performing and looks at you straight in the eye with such intensity makes u feel it’s just you and her in the room ❤️🎭

With Patti, I felt myself sliding down in my second row seat because of her glare of doom (all in character). Rosalie was a little more fun and conspiratorial in leading up to the final scene. |

What’s the best and most reliable way to get decently priced tickets for this? We managed to get £20 tickets for just a few days before closing but the rave reviews have made us think we’ll want to see it more than once. £30 lottery, relying on dynamic pricing, other means? How can we see it without paying fortunes but still getting good seats? Should have booked more than one occasion with the £20 seats *sigh* I've been keeping an eye on one of the weekend performances and prices came down this afternoon. (£77 seat for £47) It's possible they will drop again but for me, that's the point where I "bite" rather than have to keep checking when I'm busy with other things. |

I can’t believe the Sarah Brightman production was just announced at the same time this is starting up. If this one transfers, 2024 is gonna be a BIG year for the show.

I want you to go stand in a corner by Patti LuPone's pool and think about what you've done here.  |

If I recall correctly, didn't she have the pool filled so that Joe could swim in it? When she shot him in the back three times he fell into it and at the start of the show the police retrieve is body from it.
Maybe he show stand by the tennis court with the faded marking and the sagging net the Claire Bow and Fatty Arbuckle must have played them thousand midnight's ago?

Saw this last night, sadly Nicole didn’t stage door. Has she done it before for the show?
Would love to see it again, but ticket prices. Anyone had any luck winning the lottery, what kind of seats were there? Feels like a show where you’d want to be up close
