Al Pacino in 'China Doll,' Directed by David Mamet, Highest Ticket Price for Broadway Play?

Every once in a while, a play comes to Broadway that makes fans rethink if one moment can change everything. China Doll, starring the all-powerful Oscar-, Emmy- and Tony-winner Al Pacino, tells the story about a man who is ready to walk away from it all to start a new life with his young and gorgeous fiancée. Then, he gets a phone call that changes everything. The 15-week limited engagement play has been getting a lot of buzz in the Broadway community, and ticket prices are approaching record levels. Mainly, because Pacino's name is all over the thing. Unsurprisingly, Pacino is successful in every theatrical medium, be it film, television, the Great White Way. So, will China Doll be the highest priced show on Broadway?

David Mamet's China Doll -- directed, this run at least, by Tony-winner Pam MacKinnon -- began previews on October 21. The production opens mid-November at the Schoenfeld Theater.
