Leopoldstadt wasn't due to end its initial run until 22 June 2020, after which there would have been about 10 days to reconfigure the Wyndham's auditorium.
Far from ideal, but I guess in the current climate it's just too risky.

They’ve had plenty of time since though! But I suppose it’s a £££ thingy.
Nice to know I saw it at its best.

If there are a lot of projections on the stage, do we think Circle seats would be better than Stalls for this? Normally I'm a Stalls boy but I don't want to miss some nifty oceanic wizardry 😁

I'm hoping to get a Sunday matinee show in early Dec. |

I'm hoping to get a Sunday matinee show in early Dec. We need to send some moles in on Monday to suss it out! I may play safe and go Circle this time. It's not cheap though is it! Any know what the Upper Circle is like at the Wyndhams? |

robertb213 , I was about to ask the same thing about seating for this one if projections are used! I'm hoping to get a Sunday matinee show in early Dec. We need to send some moles in on Monday to suss it out! I may play safe and go Circle this time. It's not cheap though is it! Any know what the Upper Circle is like at the Wyndhams? , having a look at the prices, I'm seriously considering those monkey nest seats as a viable option for £27. Though I do hope some dynamic pricing kicks in or rush tickets become available. |

Well spotted, I hadn't seen those. The Monkey seems to like them! Might keep them in mind. There's a lot of availability left so hopefully some day seats will kick in. Nearly half the first 2 levels are currently £100+! Dynamic pricing may kick in as well once it's open. We can keep things crossed.

I’d guess it will do some sort of rush - there does seem to be a fair amount of availability.

The dress circle will be the best view for this

From Baz today:- "Producer Simon Friend took me backstage to show me how the auditorium has been transformed, with a raised stage shaped like a ship's bow and audience seating lifted up to meet the imaginary sea. Views from the top tier circle are fantastic". |

Good indication of what to expect from this article, and it sounds amazing.

Yes, no-one is going to be sold short by the sounds of it. They’ve recreated The Crucible staging, possibly even improved on it? . Reconfiguring theatres seems to be flavour of the month in the WE just now.
I’m sure it will be a huge hit.

I wouldn't be surprised if they extend it as there's nothing planned for the Wyndham's after February. |

I'm quite sure that was the plan all along. I can see this being around for some time.

Yep, the article mentions it is planned to be the home for this show for some time.

If someone going could take a picture of the Stalls it would be much appreciated. I don't want to ruin anything, but I may try to move my seats to the Circle.

I moved mine to the Circle for the 'panoramic' view but the stalls sounds immersive, which could be a lot of fun.

They’ve lost 80%in capacity 80 seats not 80% though the way it's worded - 80 in capacity - is a bit odd. |
