West End from October seemed to be dropped into the interview a couple of times on BBC Breakfast just now but without saying where / making an announcement!

Huge achievement. I expect this to do very strong business.

Runs until 13 January per Mark Shenton on Twitter with press night 13 October.
MJ opens on 06 March so surely time for a slight extension in there?

I assume that Cameron wants time for a quick refurb between shows. The theatre gods were clearly liking my suggestions when I said Dear England should go to the Prince Edward;

Incredible it's transferring to such a large theatre. It's a hugely enjoyable play which wins over the audience. I felt its second act is weaker but doesn't detract from the overall effect.

The Olivier is 1150 seats so an increase to a 1600-1700 seat theatre isn't a huge jump. Streetcar went from the 325 seat Almeida to the 1000 seat Phoenix and Death of the Salesman a few years back when from the Young Vic to the Piccadilly.

The Oliver feels intimate despite its size which I think makes the move feel like a bigger jump than it might be. I'm delighted it's making the transfer.

Now on sale to DMT+ members but stalls row D is closest to stage currently available. From the staging at the NT Olivier does anyone think that's likely to remain the situation ?

Just managed to pick up a return for Wed, so there RE the transfer: has the original casting been confirmed?
This is going to make very decent money for the Nash.

Could I please ask about the pricing for this? Know a fair few non-regular-theatregoers who would love it so I'm hoping prices won't put them off. thanks

The £20 seats are mostly at the back of the stalls and dress circle. Previews aren't any cheaper as far as I can see.

Cheaper than an England game at Wembley, and a lot closer to the action.

If D is the front row then I am assuming they'll be removing seats in order to recreate the set somewhat so capacity will be slightly less than normal..

I’ve booked D and you can book the 2 rows in front, I chose not to as PE has quite a high stage from what I recall. It’s a large stage too, so maybe they don’t need too much room at the front of stage

Seemed to be some light blue seats for 20 earlier on that became 35 green later into the run..

Grabbed a £20 front row seat for tonight, so do still check back if you want to see this before the transfer. And about all I know about football is they have transfers!

I'm not too familiar with the Prince Edward but I was front row for this at the National and the stage was exceptionally high - probably one of the very few times I've regretted booking front row. Even if they release closer rows, I'm not sure they'd be a great place to sit if the original staging is anything to go by!

On my PC, for every performance I've checked, D is the front stalls row and priced £10 cheaper @ £67.50 than E & F which are £77.50 Rows C ,B and A are all greyed out.

If I were to guess, I'd say they're keeping the first three rows off sale until they know if they need to remove them or not for staging purposes.
I'm quite excited to see a play at the Prince Edward Theatre.

I wish I hadn’t booked similar seats in row D for all my visits, I hate looking up. Oh well I shouldn’t have been so keen to book all in one go

Looking at the set in the Olivier- they will definitely be building it out over the front few rows

Oh well I shouldn’t have been so keen to book all in one go If you booked through DMT which I assume you did as it’s still only on sale to DMT+ members you can change your seat for free through your account. Go to my account then booking and choose exchange ticket option, you can move to a seat of same value or above but not a seat less than original value. It’s a very handy tool I wish other ticket agents implemented.

Same, for all dates I look at Row D is the first row.
