Would You Pay $225 for 12 Hours of Theater?

031210demons.jpg Hey, who's up for a 12 hour theatrical adaptation of a bleak Dostoevsky novel, in Italian with English supertitles? A lot of people, apparently, if the Times's hype-tastic article about a forthcoming production of The Demons is to be believed. It will be staged on Governors Island just twice in July as part of the Lincoln Center Festival, and the Times predicts that those who pay upwards of $175 for the experience will win the "I-was-there bragging rights that a certain brand of New Yorker finds irresistible." If that's you, well too bad because tickets are already sold out. Oh well. In 2005 we saw Gatz, a brilliant 8 hour adaptation of The Great Gatsby, so we're not sweating it either.

    I'd pay $225 not to attend.

    Why would you title the article, "Would you pay...." and then say the tickets are already sold out?

    Dumb

    I'll wait for the musical on roller blades with music by Phil Collins. And puppets.

    No. But once, I paid $100 to a 3-card Monte player for about 60 seconds of theater.

    This is what makes New York "New York" or Paris "Paris" or London "London"
