The box office of the Cort Theatre (138 W. 48th Street) will go to the dogs on Friday, August 28, 2015, when it opens for business for A.R. Gurney’s comedy Sylvia.
Has your pet changed your life? Have you ever wondered what she’s thinking when she stares up at you and tilts her head? Could she have the secret to understanding the world at large and your place in it? Or is she just more interested in how your shoe tastes? The world of a New York couple in mid-life is turned topsy-turvy when the husband brings home an exceptionally engaging canine running loose in Central Park in the hilarious and heartwarming comedy, Sylvia.
From two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee A. R. Gurney (The Dining Room, Love Letters), Sylvia takes a wonderful look into the complexities of love and commitment asks what it truly means to be devoted to your partner…and how do you choose between the love of your life and man’s best friend?
In celebration of Sylvia coming to Broadway for the first time since its MTC debut in 1995 patrons who go to the box office 10am-12pm EST will be able to purchase tickets for preview performances for only $19.95 each. Limit two per person.
In addition, the first 100 people to bring their dog to the box office that day will receive a limited edition Sylvia themed waste pick-up dispenser.
