If the Banana Boat Song is not in this I'll be outraged. It's my favourite scene.

100% agree. I don't really care for the show itself as I don't know the movie and am super tired of Broadway rehashing every remotely successful 80s/90s movie at the moment, but I'm very happy to see she's landed a good part. Will need to look into this now.

She was fantastic in Lazarus. The whole cast was great, actually. The show was just so f*cking weird tho.

Rob McClure just posted that it's opening on Broadway at the Winter Garden. The concept design for the marquee looks fabulously Tim Burton!

Initial reports is that it's good especially the sets and costumes but, the score still needs some work.
On The National Theatre website they have posted a parental discretion advisory so hopefully the creatives haven't watered down the story to make it more family friendly.
Rob McClure really deserves a hit and this might be it.

I just forked out for two tickets to this in April next year. Strangely, our seats were $159 (Orchestra, Row D in the middle), the two seats directly beside them were Premium at $225 - make of that what you will.
But I find Beetlejuice surprisingly reasonably priced for now and am really looking forward to it. Sophie Anne Caruso was amazing in Lazarus.

Why on earth do they use Telecharge as their ticket supplier? Just wanted to book a ticket for April and on several devices and browsers, I always get an error after the final step. I've double-checked everything and even called my credit card company, but they said everything's OK on their side and they didn't even get a query from Telecharge. I do remember that I had the similar problems with Telecharge before and I'm always happy when a show uses Ticketmaster - or any other site. I could of course call them, but I'm pretty sure they'd even misunderstand my name, let alone email address. Collecting my phone-booked tickets for the Wicked tour in Orlando was a hell of a fun... I'm in the US in four weeks, and maybe it'll work with a US IP address...
Edit: Being frustrated, I just booked a ticket for Mean Girls on Ticketmaster. Went through with a breeze.

I had a similar experience with Telecharge myself a few weeks ago when I was trying to sort out tickets for my recent NY trip. There didn’t seem to be any logic as to when you can purchase tickets. I would try early evening, no joy just a similar error message that you got. Tried a few days later, straight through with no issues. In the end I decided to either use TODAYTIX of just print off discount codes and deal with the Box Office in person when Telecharge wouldn’t work. Definitely agree with you, Ticketmaster was a joy to use. Logged onto site, seat selected and purchased within 10minutes. I would love to know why Telecharge is so difficult to use. Maybe one for U.S. board members. Is it common in the U.S. that Telecharge is difficult to access? |

Is it common in the U.S. that Telecharge is difficult to access? Even the whole process of selecting a date and choosing a seat is a major PITA on Telecharge and requires oh so many clicks. |

I had that with Telecharge a little while back. I tried three different cards, two different devices, and two different wifis, but it just wouldn't work. Sucks to be them, I was willing to buy a full price ticket but ended up getting the same show from TKTS for a helluva lot less.

Relieved to hear that it's not just me, but it IS odd. Why don't they fix their issues and update the site to a new and modern look and feel? It seems as if time stopped in the nineties... I had that with Telecharge a little while back. I tried three different cards, two different devices, and two different wifis, but it just wouldn't work. Sucks to be them, I was willing to buy a full price ticket but ended up getting the same show from TKTS for a helluva lot less. I, too, would fork out $150 for my ticket, but they don't seem to want to sell tickets. But as Beetlejuice is a new show, I'm not sure if it will be offered on TKTS when I'm over there - and I neither want to risk not getting a ticket at all, which is why I usually book the shows I really want to see ahead. Well, I'll give it another try tomorrow. |

Telecharge once worked very,very well, but as of late it has been filled with glitches.

Two more unsuccessful tries on two more devices, so I emailed them. They did reply, but didn't even seem to read my email, as all they said was No, they can't, that's why I emailed you in the first place.
Edit: And their reply to my follow-up email: So frustrating - it's like talking to a wall.
Hello, Telecharge, a customer is threatening to spend $150...

Can you try using a Virtual Network to disguise that you are not in the USA? My idea was quite the opposite, use a proxy server to pretend I was in the US. My best guess is that, for some reason, their site has some issues with international customers.
But by the end of November, I'm in the US anyway, so I might just wait until then and try booking a ticket from over there. In the meantime, I shall be spending my money for Ms Barks.
