I guess this is really complicated and maybe impossible. Perhaps you can only book the show tickets in combination with a night in hotel. I don't know, but I can imagine that.Cyanaurora wrote:I saw plane tickets advertised LA to NY round trip $200. Do you think a person could take the red-eye to NY, see THE show and take to red-eye back? Then I wouldn't have to pay for a hotel.

Not exactly that way, but similar .Dunda wrote:I don't think thatVesper Lynd 007 wrote:I guess this is really complicated and maybe impossible.

Absolutely you could do this! What are 2 lost nights of sleep where DC is concerned!Dunda wrote:I don't think thatVesper Lynd 007 wrote:I guess this is really complicated and maybe impossible.

If you see it that way that's really true. You don't know how close you get and so this could be very worthwhile. Of course Dan will look a bit shocked if he sees you after two nights awake, but who cares ? And by the way this could be a chance to come with him, because he feels guilty and promises you a place in his bed or at least in his apartement .bumblebee wrote:Absolutely you could do this!

what I meant is that I don't think that they sell the tickets with a night in hotel....

Sure you can do this! I took a 5 AM flight from SF and arrived in NY at a relatively reasonable hour during the day. So, with this scenario, you will only forgo one nights sleep.bumblebee wrote:Absolutely you could do this!

So I was cruising around the web and found a dialogue snippet from the play under this link:

Also here's another link with a brief synopsis:

Can an Australian and an English actor, under the direction of a Britiish director, capture the "pitch-perfect Chicago cop dialogue" as one critic described the Chicago Dramatist production of "A Steady Rain"?
The only thing I know of the world of policemen is what I see on television and in the movies. How true-to-life is that? So I'm no expert on whether the acting in a play captures the reality of this "cop" world. But, maybe it's true that the world of cops is the same all over - in Chicago, Sydney, and London.
So actors and a director from another country can intuitively understand what cops are like in Chicago? And their performance can be true, even though they haven't grown up or lived in Chicago?
It's interesting to note that John Crowley, who will direct the play on Broadway, also directed the award-winning play "The Pillowman" about a situation involving two policeman in an unnamed Eastern European totalitarian country. "The Pillowman" was produced in London first. Crowley was the director and also directed the play on Broadway but with American actors.
John Crowley was offered "A Steady Rain" because he had experience with the same police genre? Hugh Jackman and DC must know of John Crowley, although I don't think either has worked with him.

this news is so exciting. i think i may need to ask for a trip to nyc for my 40th b-day this fall. i wouldn't be surprised if the tickets were in the $200 range. i could manage to get there cheaply and maybe get a reasonable rate for a hotel on priceline but convincing my hubby that i need to go could prove to be a little more difficult.
