The Broadway run of Mike Bartlett's drama King Charles III will offer a general rush policy for $37 tickets, producers have announced. The tickets are limited to two per person and are available in person only when the box office opens. The play about Britain's future king will begin previews October 10 with opening night set for November 1 at the Music Box Theatre.

In King Charles III, the queen is dead and after a lifetime of waiting, the prince ascends the throne. But the play asks the question, "How to rule?" as it explores "the people underneath the crowns, the unwritten rules of our democracy, and the conscience of Britain's most famous family."

Directed by Rupert Goold, the production stars Tim Pigott-Smith in the title role, alongside Oliver Chris as William, Richard Goulding as Harry, Adam James as Mr. Evans, Margot Leicester as Camilla, Miles Richardson as James Reiss, Tom Robertson as Couttsey and other roles, Sally Scott as Sarah and other roles, Tafline Steen as Jess, and Lydia Wilson as Kate.

King Charles III features sets and costumes by Tom Scutt, music compositions by Jocelyn Pook, lighting design by Jon Clark, and sound design by Paul Arditti.
