The Recipe

Ticket Information

Single tickets are now on sale. La Jolla Playhouse is the only authorized ticket seller for this production.

First Look (previews)*: Feb 10 – 14
Weeks 2 – 6: Feb 17 – Mar 22

* ‘First Look’ performances are the first week of the run (with some exceptions). First Look tickets are lower price and offer the opportunity to experience the show while the creative team are still polishing and making changes. This is a vital element of a show’s evolution, allowing the creative team to see the show through the eyes of the audience. Playhouse staff speak to the audience before the show starts, and the creative team may be seated near you taking notes. Please take this into account when purchasing tickets.
