An Expensive “Journey’

A new production of Eugene ‘Neill’s “Long Day’s Journey Into ight” is going to charge $100 a ticket when it opens in May on Broadway. “The hefty price tag – which does not include a $1.25 per ticket “restoration fee” – is usually reserved for big-budget Broadway musicals such as ‘The Producers’, ‘Hairspray’ and ‘Movin’ Out’. A $100 ticket is rare for a straight play. “The Iceman Cometh,” also by O’Neill, and starring Kevin Spacey, charged a $100 top price in 1999.”
