It was recently announced that a new cast will take over on March 2. Set to join original London star Janet McTeer are Dylan Baker and Lucy Lui. Also returning is original cast member and Tony nominee Jeff Daniels. However this time he will be playing the role originated by his former costar James Gandofini.

Look I know what you're thinking. Didn't a God of Carnage just have a cast change? Believe it or not that was over two months ago. Time sure does fly doesn't it? So anyway the producers of the show announced yesterday that it's next quartet of actor's will begin performances on March 2. Now suffice to say there are a few surprises with with this cast. First of all Jeff Daniels who was nominated for his part in the original cast is switching roles and will now be playing the part portrayed by his former Tony nominated co-star James Gandofini. Playing his wife is Tony winner Janet McTeer who was last on Broadway is last season's Mary Stuart and who played the part in the London cast.Rounding out the cast are stage and screen star Dylan Baker and Lucy Liu. Quite an interesting foursome don't you think. No there were many out there who thought the show would never survive without it's four original stars. Yet here we are and it's about to celebrate it's first anniversary on Broadway. Tickets are now on sale thru June 20. Get your tickets to see God of Carnage. The 2009 Tony Award winner for Best Play.

Now Is The Best Time To See God Of Carnage-The 2009 Tony Award Winner For Best Play

Being in the business that we are in we are often invited to see the new shows prior to opening. That way when you call we can give you are honest opinion about the show. Unfortunately I was not able to see God of Carnage because quite frankly it wasn't available. It was that popular.My how times have changed. Within in a matter of weeks the show has gone from a virtual sell out to grossing between 60%-70% each week. Now while the cast may have changed the play remains the same. According to my sources the show is just as good as it was before. Right now the show is on sell thru February 28. Not only that but it is available at some incredible savings. Who doesn't like to save money? I know I do. Like I said before now is the best time to see this Tony winning comedy. Check it out for yourself. Who knows? You might even enjoy it. Until next time theatre fans.

33 Broadway Shows- A Theater Lover's Delight

Being a ticket agent for Broadway, I like to check out how much money each show takes in every week. Here are some noteworthy items if you have a similar interest or if you're thinking about attending one of the Broadway Shows.

A Steady Rain with Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig is stilling doing 101 % occupancy and is only playing through December 6, 2009 in a strictly limited engagement. The only other sell out show was Jersey Boys.

God of Carnage dropped from 102.2 % occupancy to only 62.5 % last week as the new cast with Jimmy Smits, Annie Potts and Christine Lahti took over in this very funny Best Play of 2009. I think word of mouth will help the new cast sell tickets for sure.

Near sell out shows included Billy Elliot, Wicked, Hamlet (with Jude Law closes December 6, 2009), Bye Bye Birdie and Fela! Ragtime, Rock of Ages, Race, Memphis, Wishful Drinking and The Lion King are all holding their own doing solid business between 80-90 %.

Even though this has been a very tough year for all kinds of ticket sales, especially rock concerts and sporting events, I think that Broadway's 33 shows says an awful lot for the Broadway producers. They always have faith in the consumer and have done a great job in signing star names when casting many shows as well as offer discounted seats for performances that they know most likely will not sell out all their tickets.

Consumers have been looking for bargains this year and Broadway tickets are no exception. It's no secret that ticket prices are higher than ever but if you know how to wait for discounted tickets of admission, you sure can save lots of money.

I'll give you a very good example. As I mentioned earlier, only a few shows sold out last week and one of them is a short term show. This should tell you that the shows need to start to develop a long range plan to sell more tickets and put more money in their advance sales bank account right? Right after most of the tourists go home at year end in a few weeks, the shows will need to be more aggressive with their discount options.

With this in mind, you might want to consider signing up for Broadway discount alerts from one of New York's licensed ticket agencies, Applause Theater Service. These guys really do know how to get new customers and how to keep them for the long term.

For instance, consider checking out their BFV ticket deals. These deals are Applause's way of sharing all the insider discounts they find out about directly from the horses mouth-the show producers themselves.

Applause Ticket Agency has been around forever it seems. Over 22 years anyway so far. They are licensed by NY State (license #71AP1001029) and love talking about tickets and Broadway theater.

If you love Broadway Theater too, what are you waiting for. Ask to be placed on their mailing list if you like. This way you'll be sent the best offerings on Broadway as soon as they come out.

That's all for now. I sincerely hope you find this information helpful and interesting.

God of Carnage on Broadway Welcomes a New Cast

Here's some great news I hope you find helpful regarding God of Carnage playing on Broadway in New York City. On Sunday, November 15, 2009 it will be the last performance with star cast members James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden. I saw the show several months ago and found it very funny. Most of you know that God of Carnage won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2009 and an award for Ms. Harden for Best Actress. I waited outside the theater for autographs the night I saw the show and everyone but Mr. Gandolfini greeted their fans at the stage door of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater. The three other leads were quite gracious in taking their time on a night of bad New York weather to sign autographs and chat with everyone that waited for them.

God of Carnage may have a funny kind of name but the show is a big success story on Broadway. Just about every performance has sold out all their inventory since the show began.

God of Carnage is what some might call a "black comedy". It is a new play written by Yasmina Reza and shows us what can possibly happen when two sets of parents try to come to grips with helping to settle a fight that happened at school between their two sons. What starts out to be a civilized parental get together at one of their homes ends up being anything but a calm and rational solution. Unless of course you consider calling each other names and picking an adult fight "civilized". The aftermath is very funny and at times borders on hysterical. The show is only 90 minutes and doesn't have an intermission.

Now let me tell you about the exciting new cast change taking place in God of Carnage on November 17, 2009. Television's Annie Potts (making her Broadway debut) and Jimmy Smits (LA Law, NYPD Blue and lots of television, stage and film) will perform as one of the couples and Ken Stott (an original London cast member) and Christine Lahti (The Heidi Chronicles, Third which is Wendy Wasserstein's final play and lots of television and film) play the other set of parents.

I don't know if God of Carnage will be reviewed with the new cast. If you have not had the opportunity to see God of Carnage or think you might want to see it with the new cast members, consider calling Applause Theater Service, a local ticket agency in New York City.

Right now Applause has a very special offer to get you excellent seats at prices that are below face value. You simply ask for the BFV ticket deal, give them your credit card and a few days later your tickets will be at your doorstep. The special offer is good for November 17, 2009 through February 28, 2010 and except with a Saturday evening or holiday ticket request, it looks like the BFV ticket deal will score you great seats at excellent prices.

This may sound too good to be true but sometimes it's the local experts in New York that come up with really good ticket deals. Shop around and see for yourself friends.

Applause can be reached out to at 800-451-9930 or locally in New York at 212-307-7050 seven days a week.

Take care now.
