$229 from the cancellation line. This was back before the TONY awards and I was about Row S Orchestra, great seat!

A word to the wise:
Even if you cannot afford/obtain tickets to see Bette, this production deserves to be seen.
The solution is simple: Get tickets to see Donna Murphy, instead. She is absolutely fantastic in the role. And you still get the rest of the fabulous cast (including David Hyde Pierce, Kate Baldwin, and Tony winner Gavin Creel), the ensemble, the costumes, the dancers, the works. Discount tickets for Donna can be found at telechargeoffers.com, starting at $99.
I have seen both Donna and Bette and, trust me, you will not be disappointed.

If anyone is looking at going to this but only finding premium seats available I’d recommend checking Telecharge regularly for returns. I checked probably 3 times per day for about 3 weeks and eventually saw a more reasonable (in comparison) side mezzanine seat appear and snapped it up immediately Saw the show on Friday night - this really is the epitome of Broadway, and Bette was even more incredible than I was expecting. I thought I was going to lose a contact lens during the dinner scene! Firstly thanks to everyone for their help and divulging personal information, it has helped me. Great advice, trying that - however the Telecharge website is slow and insufferable, it is always being timed out and you got to put the security passcode all the time. However The cheapest I have found is $513, just have to skip the mortgage for that month, I am petrified buying this ticket then finding out I cannot go. Could queue for a return, but you could wait for hours and end up sing nothing that night. Happy to see Donna, only if I cannot see Bette. I see why it's nickednamed Hello Lolly.

POL aparantly standing room is a pretty good "Bette" if you arrive quite early (6-7am)

I am obsessed with the cast recording of this atm. It’ll never happen, but I’d love it to come to town. Bette or Bernadette, doesn’t bother me! Why do you think it’ll never happen? I’d love to see it too! 😃

Todays the day, the end of Bette's legendary run with two performances, her final of which is a massive charity one! Alongside Bette, also the end of the run of David Hyde Pierce, Beanie Feldstein, Taylor Trensch and three Ensemble members. Best wishes to all!
Also interesting, I saw on Callum Train's (currently Rudopho in Matilda and co-star and bestie with Charlie in Half a Sixpence), that he has said he will miss Charlie over the next five months not being in the UK. So I wonder if this means five months until he sees him in New York or five months until Charlie ends in Dolly?

Weirdly, they haven't announced a replacement for Beanie Feldstein yet.

It was for the Theatre on Film and Tape Archive (sometimes known as the Lincoln Center Archives) apparently.

Hadn't realised it was at the Schubert. Saw Ms Peters there when she did Gypsy. Best of Luck to all the new cast, especially Charlie who must be a little jet lagged.

Oh! Really? That's unusual isn't it? dark between cast changes.... They've done this for A Little Night Music as well when Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch took over Catherine Zeta Jones and Angela Lansbury, respectively. I think it's more marketing than anything else. It almost gives the show a new profile and makes it seem like a totally new production/chapter of sorts.

I think the going dark has to do with Bernadette hahaha, she likes to feel like its the start of the run again, even so kuch as to have a press night. Best of luck to Charlie on his debut tonight, as well as the whole cast!

Awww so great to read on another board Charlie getting great response! and awsome to hearnthe Dancing number has been changed from an Ensemble number to a Barnaby solo dance moment, giving Charlie a moment to shine!

Watched this today. Side front row for $47 - VERY please with that! Bernadette is a star. Loved Gavin Creel in this. And Charlie Stemp is great too especially considering it was only his second show. Really glad I managed to see this production.

Bernadette is almost 70? Gosh..... everyone is getting so old! She’s always in her late 50’s to me. So glad Charlie is shining...

I love how half of Bernie's height is made up of hat.
Also see that they still haven't got Kate Baldwin a better wig. It makes her look as old as Bernie.

Saw the show tonight and LOVED IT. Charlie absolutely shines, such a delight to see him again and on Broadway, next to Bernadette Peters nonetheless! His solo in "Dancing" is fantastic and the audience loved him. I wish I had a night free to see the show again to be honest!
