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.

The Lowdown
New York City, 1976. A young choreographer gets the call every young choreographer daydreams about: make a dance for the American debut of the best dancer alive. Wonderful news, and also the single most terrifying assignment anyone has ever handed her.
Push is a world premiere play by Jackie Sibblies Drury, the Pulitzer winner behind Fairview, and it arrives with serious dance credentials attached: Justin Peck directs and co-choreographs with Patricia Delgado. So expect a play that moves, in both senses. Drury writes people who talk their way toward things they cannot quite say out loud, and putting that instinct in a rehearsal room full of bodies and deadlines is a very promising idea.
It plays the Linda Gross Theater on West 20th Street, Atlantic Theater Company's 199-seat home, May 27 through July 3, 2027. Yes, that is a while away. Put it in the calendar anyway, because Atlantic's mainstage slots tend to sell briskly once the reviews land, and this one has a lot of people paying attention already.

Won a seat to Push for the price of a deli lunch? Struck out a dozen times trying? Either way, the next New Yorker hitting refresh on the lottery wants to hear about it. Be the first on the board.
