How much are tickets to see a ‘Star Wars’ star live on Broadway?
Hollywood is on Broadway — just not for much longer.The Tony-winning “The Sign In Sidney Brustein’s Window” starring “Star Wars'” Oscar Isaac and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s” Rachel Brosnahan has just a handful of shows remaining at the James Earl Jones Theatre before it closes on Sunday, July 2.And if you want to catch the pair of icons along with Tony winner Miriam Silverman and Robert DeNiro’s son Julian (!) live on stage in the revival of Lorraine Hansberry’s 1960s-based political drama, you can still grab last-minute tickets.In fact, seats are available for all remaining shows.At the time of publication, the lowest price we found was $84 before fees on Vivid Seats.Tickets for other shows begin at the $100 to $130 range.By our estimation, that’s not a bad price to catch stars from the “Spider-verse” and the upcoming “Superman” franchises IRL.
