Yes that's what occurred to me. Would it fit though, I'm not familiar with it. I had been hoping for The Piano Lesson.

I recall mrbarnaby mentioning ages ago in some thread or other that a Broadway transfer was coming to the Apollo. Does anyone know any more about this?

They seem to be hinting at Mike Faist I must say I've never heard of him, which probably says more about me than him!

That would match my experience Sheridan does seem absolutely charming with the stage doorers though.

Good Grand Circle seat for 7.30 pm on 13th April now on for £37.50 - D14.
Also good stalls seat - J13 - on at 2.30pm on 27th April. It's £200 but still cheaper than most others at this stage.

I can imagine tourists will pay that price tbh. Oscar nominee and a classic American play, so maybe they're relying on that, but on Twitter I saw Millennial and Gen Z fans of the actor Paul Mescal queuing and then bailing out disappointed when they saw the ticket prices, also adding that if they'd known the prices beforehand they wouldn't have spent time online queuing. It's a shame because if you want to nurture and draw in a new audience to theatre, having a TV star like this is the perfect way to do it, but the prices create the impression for newcomers that theatre is for the rich. Exactly, and the extortionate prices very likely turn off those potential audiences from trying something again if they think those prices are generally indicative. Bad for the theatre ecology as a whole.

I like it, it's nice to see the Old Vic making an effort with graphic design again after years of not bothering. Yeah - the block capitals on blank backgrounds were feeling very dated. Awful, so ugly and uninspiring.

Not sure how I feel about the new design... I like it, it's nice to see the Old Vic making an effort with graphic design again after years of not bothering.

The Pinter is a popular theatre with producers, it's booked up until late September. Is The Shining still meant to be going in at the end of the year? I think so?

These ticket prices are disgusting. Shame on the producers. It's a sh*tty move to hike them so high. And they clearly weren't sold out. And that's a load of nonsense about waiting until the staging was finalised to release more tickets, as all the extra seats were dotted all over the place like in the middle of the stalls, which would have been unaffected by the staging of the show. They were clearly held back to be massively inflated when the demand and FOMO kicked in.

I went on for a look out of interest and the cheapest ticket I could see now is £110 and there are very few of those left. Next cheapest is £175. The seat I paid £100 for originally is now triple that. ATG sure know how to surf the dynamic pricing wave but I think it's wrong of them, sorry. I don't think they're actually selling well though, when compared to the huge demand and the kind of queue. Little wonder! They didn't make it clear that tickets for the extra week would be three times the original price. Unless they are Russian oligarchs, I'm sure many of those queuing would have gasped in horror when they entered the website!

Some people book 3-months ahead, some 3-hours. For the latter, £200 is what £20 is to me. Theatre fans who plan ahead had the chance long ago, this is pitched at a different market now. In these circs, I'm happy enough to see those with significant disposable income also subsidise subsidised theatre in London. I agree, it's show business not show charity and this is a hot ticket. It's Cock all over again 😂

£300 *is* obscene.

I think the email is just the link to put you in the virtual waiting room to be assigned your random number. Thanks, that what I thought too, which means no pre sale for ATG cardholders.

So no advance booking for ATG cardholders then? Seems odd when there was for the initial 6 weeks. Or is that what the 10.30 email from ATG is?

Congrats to the production - but, it won't be performing while we are in the UK! We are there after it closes at the Pinter and leave before it opens at Savoy. Sigh. A shame, it's so disappointing when things pan out like that

Yes, does anyone know what has booked the Pinter which has prevented the extension of A Little Life there?

My hunch, and it's only that, is that Tammy Faye might go to either the Duke of York's or Noel Coward in the autumn.

It does but I'm not getting the sense at the minute that there's a mad clamour for theatres with lots of shows circling to land. I hope I'm wrong but lots of theatres look like they may be going dark soon with no word of anything coming in. We had a post on the 'A Little Life' thread that it would be transferring to the Savoy. Time will tell, I suppose. theatreboard.co.uk/thread/9982/little-life-richmond-harold-pinter?page=5Thanks, I had missed that. I wonder what's going into the Harold Pinter that means ALL can't just extend there? Also wonder if same cast will go with it to the Savoy, as they will be pretty exhausted by the 18th June, no doubt.

Closing June 18th. Frees up another theatre! It does but I'm not getting the sense at the minute that there's a mad clamour for theatres with lots of shows circling to land. I hope I'm wrong but lots of theatres look like they may be going dark soon with no word of anything coming in.
