I now quote Larry David who once said, “When you say ‘no’ you invariably get your way.”

It is Larry David’s world, and we are just living in it.
Seriously, with Seinfeld considered the best TV comedy series of all time and Curb Your Enthusiasm fans still hoping for a ninth season (though it ended in 2011), David has shaped our approach and response to scripted comedy – at least in terms of television and movies (like his lost film Sour Grapes). However, his next venture is a far cry from his turn as creator, head writer and star of those two legendary sitcoms.
On 5 March, David will make his Broadway debut in his play Fish in the Dark. It has already broken records in primary and secondary ticket markets, with advance sales having hit $14.5m; the average ticket price is a stratospheric $299.23. The show is so popular that Seinfeld star Jason Alexander is worried about not getting tickets (which actually wouldn’t be terrible since, as Alexander pointed out, worlds can’t collide) – surely thanks in part to Fish in the Dark co-stars such as Rosie Perez singing David’s praises on the Today show.
$14.5 million in advanced sales already. Wow.

larry david is what warren zevon was talking ‘bout when he wrote “Excitable Boy”. if i could afford to live in manhattan i could cough up 300 bucks for a ticket to the first best show of the year. you know me, i’d go 3 or 4 times.
i had excellent (2nd row, center stage) seats to Wicked on a Saturday night. but it was in des moines. i had 2nd row again, off center, to Les Miz, in Chicago. but it was a matinee.
des moines was about 3 or 4 hundred dollars, maybe more including dinner and parking. i did it right. dessert, fancy truffles at intermission, etc.
i paid about 150 for the les miz seat. when the author of the article says a “stratospheric” 300 dollars, i wonder if they’re living in the real world. i won’t go if i don’t have a good seat. i get to go every couple years and it has been almost 4 this time, but when i get to go i am going to experience the motherfugger. if the going rate was 4 or 5 hundred i’d probably pay it.

Nice.. I’ve never been to a huge production play. We’ve seen many at the local theaters but never anything known at the national level.
If I had a million, I’d fly us all to the east coast so we could throw flowers at David at the first show’s curtain.
