No definite information yet on when tickets for the Broadway transfer of Patrick Stewart’s Macbeth will go on sale, but here are a couple of clues:

1. Playbill.com has Macbeth listed on its Broadway listings, with the ticket sale date listed as TBA. This would be a good place to keep checking.

2. Looks like Telecharge.com will be the ticket vendor. All that’s listed right now on Telecharge at the Lyceum is Is He Dead?, which is closing March 9.

3. According to Bloomberg, the first ad for the transfer is scheduled to be published in the New York Times on March 9. According to the same article, the show will have to sell out right away in order for the investors to turn any sort of profit:

With $800,000 raised to finance the show, the producers will need all of Stewart’s star power for the Shakespeare drama to turn a profit. “We have to sell out right away,” said a member of the producing team, who insisted on anonymity because not all of the arrangements for the move have been completed.

While the actual cost of transferring the production is well under $200,000, the budget rose because of the cost of keeping the large company on payroll during the time between the end of the BAM run and the Broadway opening.

4. There is also a thread tracking progress of the transfer at Broadwayworld.com. This is often one of the hottest spots for the latest breaking theatre news.

5. And if the hits to Macbeth-related posts on Man In Chair are any indication, there are TONS of people looking for tickets, so don’t get lazy if you want to see this one. Keep checking here and at the sites listed above.
