I went directly to Warner Theatre web page and see ticket price ranges between $52 and $96 (which includes stupid add-on fees of $12.50 to $16.50)!

Looking forward to seeing it again and experiencing the touring version.
Would love to be in Orono for opening of tour however chose another venue to fit with other travels.
... and Thanks Bev for sharing that interview... always great to hear such off the cuff remarks.
Just saw the show in Boston on Friday, November 21st. Mixed review from me. The music and the singing were phenomenal. Sorry Stephen, but the book/dialog, not so phenomenal. I was trying to figure out why, and the best I can figure is that King's unique style of dialog comes off the page so well because we, the readers, have the benefits of exposition, of inner thoughts, of motivations, etc. A two hour musical does not have the time to invest in the same kind on characterization as a novel, or even a short story. In the end, much of the dialog came off flat and often contrived. The story itself reminds me, thematically, of Roland's journey in The Dark Tower books, but this time, with some resolution. The sparse staging was reminiscent of the musical Once. Overall, well worth my time, and yours. I would love to hear the thoughts from others who have seen it.
Saw it in Beverly Hills this month....my wife disliked it, and I was lukewarm on it at best.....

I thought this was a funny quote about SK from JCM.
You worked extensively with Stephen King on the musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. What did you guys have in common?
I'm a hypochondriac. Steve's a hypochondriac. "Steve, I can't possibly have sickle cell anemia. But I think I do." And he's always got some kind of ankle disease or some shit. But he explained it to me. He said, "Here's the thing, John. You and I make shit up for a living. When we have idle time on our hands, we turn it on ourselves and make shit up. You don't have sickle cell!"

Stephen King and John Mellencamp Will Redevelop GHOST BROTHERS OF DARKLAND COUNTY for Licensing
Broadway Licensing is working with Stephen King and John Mellencamp to redevelop their haunting musical for worldwide licensing.
The Gothic southern musical about a decades-old tragedy that haunts the population of a small town has a roots rock score by Grammy winner Mellencamp, ("Pink Houses", "Jack and Diane", "Small Town") and a book by "Carrie," "Misery" and "The Shining" Master of Horror novelist King. It premiered in a full stage production in 2012 at the ALLIANCE THEATRE in Atlanta, GA. The production also played a limited concert tour.
"We are humbled and honored to have been entrusted by Steve and John to redevelop their thrilling and innovative musical," says Broadway Licensing president Sean Cercone. "The newly revised version will be available for worldwide licensing in 2019."
Author Stephen King says "This is terrific news. I loved working with John Mellencamp, and the ghostly result is one of my most proud accomplishments."
John Mellencamp added, "When Steve and I decided to mount a musical ... neither of us knew what we were doing... we learned on the job.. I have never had so much fun or laughed so hard in my life...."
A studio album of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, recorded in 2010, was released from Hear Records/Concord Records Group. A standard, single-disc version includes the complete songs, dialogue excerpts and digital libretto; while a two-disc format features complete songs (with and without dialogue), deluxe artwork, "handwritten lyrics," a libretto and a DVD with a "Making of Ghost Brothers" documentary including interviews with King, Mellencamp and album producer T Bone Burnett along with other bonus material.
