Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
Drew Michael has built a decade of stand-up on saying the thing the room was hoping he would leave alone. Love Me, his Off-Broadway debut, runs at SoHo Playhouse from October 24 through November 22, 2026 — 22 performances, no more.
The pitch is a solo show about wanting to be liked, performed by a comic who has spent his career testing how far that want can be pushed before it snaps. His HBO specials were shot without an audience in frame, which tells you roughly how much interest he has in the usual comfortable setup.
SoHo Playhouse holds 199 seats at 15 Vandam Street, and a room that size is the whole point for material like this: nobody is hiding in the back. Running time is about 75 minutes with no intermission, tickets start around $51, and it is recommended for ages 13 and up, which feels generous.
Short run, small house, one guy and a microphone. Check back here for tickets and for any rush or lottery once one shows up.
