Tickets for show - can somebody explain please

I was on playbill.com looking tickets for the upcoming Legally Blonde for my daughter and neice and I know that they don%26#39;t go on sale until February but we will be in the city on April 19 and 20 from what playbill states it looks like performances start on April 03 (see below) is this correct or am I reading this wrong? Thanks

Performances from 03 Apr 2007

Opening 29 Apr 2007

Closing Open-Ended

Without looking it up, my guess is that the production starts preview performances on April 3, with opening night on April 29th.

Thanks Irishfan - does that mean that you can get tickets for the performances before the actual opening date?

yes, you are right

before that the show is getting out-of-town tryout in San Francisco starting late January

I just went through this with Mary Poppins on Broadway. Previews begain about a month before opening. I am not sure but I think preview tickets may be a tad less expensive (sometimes). Ticketmaster has the SF run listed but nothing else.
