It can be the same theatre and still be a different adjacent space. Look at the National, the Royal Court, the Young Vic, the Soho.

The Stage implied same auditorium but must have got it wrong. It's all so intriguing!

I wonder how they will manage the sound in both the theatres? At the current theatre, you can already hear the weather, traffic etc outside, so with another musical right next door, I wonder how much that will effect either show?

Hmm, problem with a new theatre is that you don't have a clue about sightlines. Not fancying a front row seat, looks like my next best bet would be a £35 one, but that far back, how much are you actually going to see? Then again, you could stretch to £55 six rows forward and have the same problem... Will try to track down some US reviews and see just how close you need to be for this.
Anyone know what the deal is with the 'i' on some seats? It's not showing up on my ipad when I click - just tries to book the seat!

Just checked a random performance, and all available aisle seats have the 'i' (and no other). Apparently, it denotes that additional information is available. In this case, it's simply that it's an aisle seat.

Anyone noticed that big chunk of seats in the premium seating hasn't been put on sale? Recon these will be premium premium seats? I imagine this will be a super hot ticket so cud charge what they want for them

Oh, they're doing dynamic pricing, some dates still have premium at £95, some £125 and some are up to £150!

Maybe they will go for mega priced premium seats? Does anyone know if £150 is the highest price ever for normal west end shows?

Silly me, wasn't Elf £250? I reckon they shud go for £300! It's forgivable as long as the stage isn't really high for us £15ers

Does the fact it is still under the Kings Cross Theatre label make it automatically eligible for the Oliviers then?

Must be as ItH has won an Olivier, yah? In the Heights won three! I was just not 100% sure as it is a new theatre space they are building. So are they considered two separate theatres or the same theatre?

Yes, if you have never been to this neck of the woods before (me) it might be best to allow plenty of time before the show to find the right theatre and entrance etc.

And it's going to need to be pretty big with over 1000 in the audience

I couldn't see the front row on sale for any dates yesterday, does seem to suggest they're holding them back for possible day seat/lottery or something similar?
Ahemmmm.... Ignore me, just read back through this thread *whistles aimlessly*

In for a penny, in for a pound. Or £55, to be precise. If the view from Row V turns out not to be worth £55, I will be furious!! ;-)

Gah... a little late to the party on this one and now no front row seats for the entire run (trust me, I've checked). I don't really want to spend big bucks on this but the back row looks very, very far away. Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-choices...

Personally, I'm just tempted to wait for the revival... As Mary could have told you, this is the revival of Ivo van Hove's New York show. Martha hasn't realised this yet.

Anyone have a rough idea of running time based on the US Run? Debating a Sunday matinee, and want to know if the last direct train is achievable.

Only just spotted this at BFI southbank on Sunday - still tickets available
Man Who Fell to Earth screening at 5:30 followed by ...
We are delighted to announce that Michael C Hall (Six Feet Under, Dexter, Cold in July), who will soon star in the David Bowie/Enda Walsh-penned musical Lazarus at the King’s Cross Theatre, will join us for a Q&A following this screening.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already but Jon Boydon is the offstage cover for Michael C Hall.
