It's not Susannah though. It's Kate Kellaway, and this is highly predictable from her. I don't think there's a world where Susannah would rate this anything below a 3.

Here tonight and they stopped the show almost as soon as it started because of a technical problem. Hoping they don’t cancel!

Has anyone had any luck trying the Box Office just before curtain up for a discounted ticket?

Has anyone had any luck trying the Box Office just before curtain up for a discounted ticket? I tried last week probably around 5.45pm but wasn’t offered any discount to what the current online prices were.

I work in town so can probably do a 7.15pm and see but thought I'd just see if anyone had had any luck that closer - thanks for your info though!

I'm not a lottery person but had no choice as can't afford the prices. I entered at, I think, around 11.30 this morning. Luckily I checked my phone at 2.30ish. Message saying I'd won and had until 3pm to book.
Fyi, it's a good seat, in the Upper Circle. Next week. So lucky. Don't know who to be grateful to but very pleased to have the opportunity to see it.

This has to be the most exhilarating night I've spent in a theatre in a long time. I don't think I blinked for the whole two hours for fear of missing even a second.

I really want to see this but the prices are beyond obscene.
Apart from the lottery, any tips?

Wow I thought this was fantastic. I hadn't realised there would be so much tech involved, but I love what they did with it! Sarah is surely a shoo in for best actress at the Oliviers? Apart from the lottery, any tips? I think they have some dynamic pricing going on, so seats get reduced day of or day before on the website.

What a show! It’s nothing like I was expecting, just incredible performance from Sarah Snook. If she doesn’t win something I’d be very surprised. The technical element is something to behold too. I sat on front row and I don’t think I missed much as it’s mostly meant to be seen on screens - I was close but to me you can never be too close ah. Really different and special.

Can anyone tell me if this has dynamic pricing? Do tickets online get cheaper nearer to the start of a performance?

Can anyone tell me if this has dynamic pricing? Do tickets online get cheaper nearer to the start of a performance? Can’t speak for now, but they definitely did at the start of the run. I paid 48 on the day for a seat that was 100-150 further into the run

Outstanding concept, beautifully realised. Best mixed media show I've seen. True to the essence.
Shame they couldn't take ideas around social media/narcissism further but obv. no space.
Snook did an outstanding job - deserves awards - though I was wandering up the Haymarket afterwards thinking of someone else, as well. Heath Ledger. Life eh.

Interesting article in the FT's Weekend Magazine by Robert Shrimsley. He bought £100 seats on the side of the upper circle and had the experience of looking through a clear Perspex screen. The piece offers his clear cut rules for theatre going in London.
One, try to stick to the National Theatre. It is reliable and comfortable.
Two, see anything by Tom Stoppard or Shakespeare.
Three, research the venue.
In the West End go for cheap or expensive seats. Avoid the rear stalls.
Think twice before spending £500 on two tickets because of a big name.
If you like a view of a screen stick to the cinema.
Sounds like good advice to me.

What screen did he have to look through?

Producers for this are Michael Cassel Group (Sydney, Australia) and, no question, they are rinsing the West End for all it's worth.
I tried for an Access ticket, even had a long-ish conversation with the box office manager, and absolutely no chance: Wilful ignorance of the law.
A friend had a £60 place in the Gods and would have had a view of events if the screens weren't as high - more than half the evening was blocked by the that huge auditorium chandelier - if at the rear, sit either side not across the middle.
Can't think the Michael Cassel Group will be back too soon, so why not fill your boots and, if you overcook it, paper the holes via the TodayTix lottery.

What screen did he have to look through? The Haymarket has perspex screens dotted about the front of the Upper Circle for safety reasons. You can see one of them on the left of this image (from a reviewer on SeatPlan.com):

When did the National Theatre become reliable and comfortable
