Correct. They have their opening night performance tomorrow at six followed by their party but reviews won't come out til Monday when the show "officially" opens. I think "How to dance in Ohio" did this as well as a few other shows recently.
I'm curious. I have balcony tickets for Monday. Did they close off the balcony and move people down? The seating map is still largely empty for that day and I'm trying to figure if there's a way to be...not up there

Corey Cott was at Kelly Ripa’s show yesterday! Looks like they’re doing the media circuit and hopefully it will help generate ticket sales. I really enjoyed watching this show back in its first preview and am planning to go on Monday at its (press) opening night since tix are being sold to it.
In the interview they pretty much state this is a very 80s show from its story (inspired by John Hughes films) to obviously the music.

Kinda like what Cabaret is doing. Tonight is the Gala Night, and Monday is Press Night.
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
Really enjoyed the show tonight. Wasn’t expecting much but was blown away by the cast. All amazing singers and high energy dancing. As someone said above, surprised they all have a six pack. It was funny and sweet with a heart. I hope (suspect) it will get good reviews (as much as Jesse Green doesn’t like a jukebox).
Regardless of the review I hope this show finds its audience. All my friends who love Huey’s music and 80s movies (John Hughes) had a great time at the show.

I like her."
so the NYT currently has Jesse, Elizabeth, Maya and Naveen all doing these reviews? With that roster, it would be great if they assigned two critics per show.

Elizabeth and Naveen are both freelancer, which is they both also write for The Washington Post.
