Given I had tickets on three separate dates for this, two of which were cancelled by the Almeida and one by me when I had Covid, I'm pleased I'm finally getting the chance to see the show, although I fear that as a none-fan of Spring Awakening (but curious to see what the Almeida did with it) seeing it at the cinema rather than in person might mean too much distance.

I think with what The Almeida did with it, it will translate incredibly well into film. I’ve seen the original Broadway/London casts, and the Deaf West production, and this was my favourite of all of them. It was so very special and the cast were just outstanding. I still think about Stuart Thompson’s performance as Moritz all the time, he was just incredible.

Given that it's having a cinema release, is there any chance this will end up on DVD/Blu-Ray, etc?

Very poor selection for the cinema release. Can’t even book tickets for Curzon without paying £50 for a membership! Guess won’t be seeing this then

I live in North Wales. Nearest venues appear to be either Harrogate or Bristol. So that’ll be a no from me too.

Another gutted fan in the Northwest here. So frustrating when we have Everyman cinemas in Manchester, Liverpool, Altringham, etc, and none of them are screening it. I got in touch with the Almeida box office and asked if there were any other screenings to be announced and their answer was "not at this time". So still disappointing but maybe hopeful that there will be more screenings to come. Might be worth several of us making some noise over the fact that several parts of the UK have nothing nearby.

It'll be a rights issue as to why it's only screening in certain cinemas (I do some work in film distribution and the red tape is ridiculous so it only going to Curzon and certain Everyman is not entirely surprising)
I have half a suss this will end up on TV over the Christmas period though - keep an eye on BBC 4

Why on earth is it a “members only” screening?
The audience for this is niche enough - do they really not want to sell any tickets at all ?
Zero commercial logic.

In a case of very poor marketing - Almeida have confirmed that it is not a members only screening.
Curson members currently have priority booking after which ticket sales are opened to non-members.
This certainly could have been better communicated on the Curzon site to avoid such confusion.

Sorry I'd have clarified had I known - we got notification of our priority on Monday for I forget how many days (might be a week)

They tried to charge a similar figure when they screened Everybody's Talking About Jamie and I refuse to pay it.
I told the girl behind the counter 'why would I play that sort of money for a screening, when I can purchase a day seat for less and seating in the theatre seeing it playing out live in front of me?'
The girl looked stunned and couldn't respond.

She wouldn’t have known what a dayseat was either.

Yeah...it's not the person behind the counter's fault on the price...

In hindsight whilst you may ll be right, at that point in time, as I felt I was being ripped off, I was no frame of mind to care about the feelings of a pimply-face teenager behind the counter.

They have been put there to represent their place of work and answer customer enquiries. If they don’t have the fortitude or resilience to empathise with their customers without having to take a fortnight off through being ‘upset’ I would suggest that they are in the wrong job. I’m sure that Anthony’s mild banter went right over their head anyway as it wasn’t all about them.

Not to negate any other people's viewpoint on pricing, but with these filmed productions, I've become OK paying more (even when it's double) than a film ticket given the quality of the final result and the opportunity to get a much better view than what I have experienced and likely paid much more for with the actual stage production. Plus, I want to make sure they keep coming.

Sold out at Curzon Bloomsbury, almost sold out at Mayfair. When do Everyman tickets go on sale? Didn't receive any notice from Almeida.

Bought mine for Bristol a couple of days ago and there wasn’t much left. It seemed to be in a tiny screen.

Are there really only 10 cinemas showing this? I was looking forward to seeing it after not making it to the almeida due to cancellation.
