The recent Broadway revival of Shakespeare's Othello, featuring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, has not only captivated audiences but also generated significant controversy due to its steep ticket prices, which have soared up to $3,421. Journalist Johnny Oleksinski highlighted the growing frustration among theatergoers regarding high costs, revealing his attempts to secure tickets while critiquing the pricing structure. He confirmed that press members often attend previews for free and enter into embargo agreements with productions about review release dates.
Critics and reporters are invited to the last several previews of a show before opening night...a kind of e-handshake agreement.
The timeline here is important. I received my invite, as usual, on March 4 and criticized its $921 ticket prices on March 9.
