Where else on earth can you get special preview pricing for an awesome new production, and possibly win a new treadmill? The Astor Place Theatre Box Office, that’s where.
The hilarious global hit Burnout Paradise, which landed on our Best Of List for 2024, has announced a special, in-person giveaway event on Thursday, February 12 from 12-4pm at the famed Astor Place Theatre Box Office. All preview tickets will be available for an endorphin pumping $26.20 and one lucky purchaser will walk (or run) away with a free, brand-new Echelon Stride 6s Auto-Fold Treadmill (valued at $1999.99), in addition to other on-site giveaways – including gift cards for free lemonade at Raising Cane’s.
The special ticket price applies exclusively to preview performances running February 18 – March 4 and is available in person only, while supplies last or until the Box Office closes at 4:00 PM. Tickets are limited to two per person, with seating based on availability at the discretion of the Box Office. The treadmill winner will be randomly selected from eligible entrants, and shipping will be coordinated directly with the winner.
Created and performed by the award-winning Australian theater collective Pony Cam, the show begins previews on February 18, and opening night is set for March 5, 2026, for a limited engagement through June 28, 2026. Tickets are on sale at burnoutparadise.com.
Five performers. Four treadmills. One chance to beat the clock. The theatrical phenomenon from award-winning Australian collective Pony Cam is taking Off-Broadway by storm. It’s a live show you’ll never forget, as the people onstage make a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks, like cooking a three-course meal and filling out a grant application... all while running on treadmills. And if they don’t complete their to-do list in one hour’s time? You can get your money back. Burnout Paradise is part comedy, part endurance feat, part theatrical explosion – but more than anything, it’s a euphoric, visceral celebration of our tendency to run full tilt towards life’s endless challenges.
Acclaimed for their experimental works that subvert well-known forms in non-traditional performance spaces, and for inviting audiences into their work in unexpected ways, Pony Cam is comprised of Claire Bird, Ava Campbell, William Strom, Dominic Weintraub and Hugo Williams. They began developing Burnout Paradise in 2024 as part of Melbourne Fringe Festival and with seasons at Sydney's Bondi Festival and Melbourne's international arts festival, RISING, prior to debuting to rave reviews at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The five-star reviews there included The Scotsman, who deemed the show “magnificently chaotic, breathlessly frenetic fun.” Time Out declared it to be “one of the most uproarious shows you will ever experience… unravelling wildly differently every night…sheer bedlam in the most magnificent way.” After catching it at the Fringe, the renowned St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn programmed the show into their season five weeks later, in November 2024.
The production is produced by No Guarantees.
