A rush ticket policy for Steve Martin’s Meteor Shower will begin November 1 with the first preview of the new comedy at the Booth Theatre, 222 W. 45th St.
A limited number of $40 box seat tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis each day when the Booth Theatre box office opens. These tickets must be purchased on the day of the performance (in cash or with a valid credit card) in person at the box office, and are subject to availability. There is a limit of two tickets per patron per performance. Box office hours are Mondays–Saturdays between 10 AM and 8 PM and Sundays, beginning December 3, from noon until 6 PM.
Meteor Shower stars Emmy Award winners Amy Schumer and Keegan-Michael Key, both in their Broadway debuts, Tony Award winner Laura Benanti, and Tony nominee Jeremy Shamos. Four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks directs.
Opening night is scheduled for November 29.
“It’s a hot night in Ojai, California, and Corky (Schumer) and her husband Norm (Shamos) are having another couple over for dinner. Laura (Benanti) and Gerald (Key), though, aren't looking for a casual evening of polite small talk with new friends,” according to press notes.
“Eventually, the two couples find themselves in a marital free-fall matched in velocity and peril only by the smoldering space rocks tearing through the sky.”
Meteor Shower had its world premiere at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre, and had a subsequent production at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.
Producers are Joey Parnes, Sue Wagner, and John Johnson.

The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
