The Broadway engagement of Mike Birbiglia's The New One will offer a limited number of $49 rush tickets on the day of each performance at the Cort Theatre Box Office (138 West 48th Street). The box office opens at 10am Monday-Saturday and at noon on Sundays.

Rush seats are sold on a first-come, first served basis (limit two per person). Seat locations will be at the discretion of the box office and will be located in the orchestra or mezzanine level. Tickets are subject to availability.

The New One began performances on October 25 ahead of a November 11 opening. Written by Mike Birbiglia, with additional writing by Jennifer Hope Stein, The New One is a new play directed by Seth Barrish with set design for Broadway by Beowulf Boritt, lighting design by Aaron Copp, and sound design by Leon Rothenberg.

The production marks Birbiglia's Broadway debut as both a playwright and performer. Prior to moving to Broadway, The New One played a limited engagement at the Cherry Lane Theatre.
