I've not seen it out of order but if you're willing to read a synopsis of Part 1 just so you're not blindsided all together by Part 2, then it's better to see it out of order than not at all, and honestly I think Part 1 is better anyway so there's ultimately no harm in leaving the theatre on a bit of a high. It does sort of suck that you would have to spoil yourself for Part 1 so you can actually get what's going on in Part 2, and it does sort of suck that the dramatic tensions of Part 1 would be lessened because you already know what's going to happen in Part 2, but we all know how Hamlet ends and keep buying tickets anyway, so as long as you're all about the journey rather than the destination (and I think you're open to these downsides or you wouldn't be considering seeing them out of order at all) then there's no reason not to do it. That's really helpful thanks

@baemax explains much more eloquently what I thought, better seen backwards than missed. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks but can't do the rush as only certain day can see each and if missed won't be able to see it. Don't think the seats are bad for th3 price

Has anyone seen this out of order? I'd really like to get to see it before it closes but only way I could is by seeing part 2 one evening then part 1 the following evening. It says on their website can see either part but also that the plot follows chronologically. I'd be grateful for any thoughts One of my friends saw it out of order and loved it!

Saw part 2 last night, and enjoyed it far more than the first time around! Even went and fangirled at stage door to tell the cast how much I loved it, and a couple of them mentioned both that they’d done lots of work on it (which makes me wonder what exactly they have changed - can anyone with a better memory than me recall differences with the Young Vic version?) and that there’s lots more work to do!
Have we already had confirmation of a Broadway transfer?
(I loved it so much last night, I actually bought a mug! And I can count on one hand the number of shows I’ve bought actual merch for...)

Do you think that they are going to release the front row seats for the January performances, or keep them as day seats?

Has anyone got rush tickets lately? I might see it tomorrow if can get one but I also want to try for BOOH matinee so will have to choose the one I think will go quickest!

I got rush tickets for both parts on Saturday. You need to be quick though - they're gone in a blink of an eye.

Do you think it will he saved for Day Seats? I don't know. My gut feeling is they're more likely to be available through the Box Office than TodayTix. But they might already have been quietly sold. I do remember people earlier in the thread talking about getting advance front row tickets directly from the box office.

I guess I won't bee seeing it, and I'm only blaming myself for leaving it to the last weeks. I tried dayseating twice and I missed them both times, as the queue was extremely busy and they only have 15 seats. Today I arrived at 8.50 and there were already more than 15 people in line and I imagine that next week is going to be even worse. I also had no luck with todaytix rush seats as they seem to disappear in nanoseconds. I can only hope it returns one day...

With today tix you should keep hitting refresh for a good half hour - rush tickets sometimes pop back up.

Am tempted to try and day seat the last day for this (the final part 2 is completely sold out apart from a handful of standing tickets last time I checked). Judging from how busy it’s been recently it’ll definitely need to be an early start and I’m not sure I can manage 6+ hours of queuing in the freezing cold and 7 hours of theatre in the same day.

After spending most of the day with these characters I feel very strongly for them, wow, what a production. The time has whizzed by and I’ve cried multiple times. A man who was the doppelgänger for Ben Platt passed me in the foyer corridor, who it turns out from his Instagram story was indeed the man himself. I wonder if he has an eye on taking one of the roles for the transfer? He is referenced in the play itself, I know, but then again so is Vanessa.
In 2019 it may seem less of an event or as important as it once was to shine a light on the lives of a group of gay men living in New York City, yet this was a story that needs to continue being told. For me, and many others, this is a mirror play. Hearing my own experiences, thoughts and feelings spoken out loud on a stage reaffirms them and feels very comforting. As the first show of 2019 I couldn’t have picked a better way to start the year, even if this does end its run next week. Fingers crossed that we continue to get more work like this and that the Inheritance has a continued life.

In my second time seeing it became shockingly clear to me that the character of Adam quite possibly doesn't exist. He is Leo rewriting his life like Toby did with his novel/play. Adam is Leo if he were adopted and shown love. He also takes his rape story and makes it a little more of him being in control and romanticizing it more, being his choice to go into a bathhouse and let these men have sex with him.
This is also somewhat repeated with Walter having the same stealing pills story as Toby but that one was harder to connect.
If this is way off the mark, I apologize, but it really blew my mind on my second viewing. I'm hoping this indeed transfers to NYC so I can see it again and again.
Very interesting re-watching the play with that theory in mind and I think it does make sense! Hence Adam disappearing from the narrative for most of part 2, and as you say the similarities between the bathhouse story and what happens on Fire Island, and the fact that the lead character in Toby's book is an idealised (and misleading) version of Toby.
On the other hand in that case why is Toby obsessed with Leo? But then again all of that is narrated by Leo as we realise at the end what we are watching is Leo's (rather than Adam's) novel.

I can imagine Todaytix Rush to be difficult on two show days. I'm gonna try for Part 2 in the last week on the Wednesday and then just buy a normal ticket if I can't get a rush for part 1. Seems part 1 has plenty of availability though.

Saw part one this evening and I’m impressed by the performances and some of the writing. I didn’t cry. Maybe I will on Wednesday for part two. It was very long. Angels was long too. Is this a given for plays about the history of gay men in America? ( over to you Em) But it was good long.

Thank you 😁
And is the guy in the Brexit tv play who knows about the advanced data stuff the guy who plays Eric in this?
