There was a strong hint from Andy Nyman on Twitter the other day that Ghost Stories could be transferring.....Only thing is, there's hardly anywhere for it to go, possibly Trafalgar Studios.

Oh, I thought it was a co-production, just goes to show how good my memory is these days. Spring Awakening then.

Ghost Stories was a Lyric and Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse co-production, that then transferred as a Lyric/Phil McIntyre co-pro to the Duke of York’s.
The Arts Theatre production was Fiery Angel. And I think the recent Lyric run was a Lyric production.

It was a coproduction between the Lyric and the Liverpool Playhouse - but was commissioned by Sean Holmes for the Lyric. Indeed it was his first commission as Lyric AD - Andy Nyman had outlined his ideas when they worked together on Moonlight and Magnolias at the Tricycle in 2007.

I'm glad people are enjoying Noises Off, and it is a brilliant tight play, but I feared Play that Goes wrong might have stolen its' thunder now.

Sat there for a tenner for Don Quixote. Amazing value. Decent legroom, stage wasn't that high. Already bought mine in case it was a mistake. Frankly one of those "very rude not to" situations. Totally agree with you. I just hope there aren’t any bread rolls being thrown around this time. I nearly got hit by one sat in the front row for Quixote.

Says on the Nimax website that the view will occasionally be interrupted by the height of the stage - maybe just a precaution??

The height of the stage may be impacted by ho they do the revolve.
Cannot remember the set being raisedraised at the Lyric but may utilise a Lehman set up at the Garrick.

A revolve could have an impact, true. Frankly, though, even if you only see the cast from the knees up, a £15 front row ticket is a £15 front row ticket - and compared to any others at the price in that theatre you will see ten times more. How is Row E at that theater?

I saw the preview and was a little disappointed as didn't find it as funny as a lot of other people. Having seen some of the comments in the thread, think I'll have another go.

Part of the set consists of six doors and there should be a full refund if each one doesn’t at least get slammed a 100 times, not exactly high art is it? Or well it could be! The choreography for this to work is astounding - for this has to be as accurate as a laser, the timing for what goes on has to be so spot on, for each of those door slams is done, with the greatest synchronisation, especially in Act 2, when the play enters hypersonic proportions , the axe scene is one to be cherished and so clever and well executed (not literally,) The charechter that falls down the stairs, well you wouldn’t want to practice that too often. so therefore this play has turned stupidity into an art form. A mantle that has been successfully gripped with both hands by the excellent and successful Mischief Theatre Company, with their smash hit The Play Goes Wrong and others.
A play that is hard to develop and better, with revivals, as it is, what it is and that is completely bonkers............oh, but done with such class.

Anyone there tonight or any time soon who can report back on the view from the £15 front row seats?

(I am really sorry but I forgot to check the front row seats. I was in row E and from there the stage didn't seem too high and I cannot recall any revolve. So I think the £15 tickets are good value)
I saw this on Monday and I had a jolly good time laughing my head off. The 3 acts all representing a different type of humour works well. I enjoyed the first part most but it is the second one where the strength of the play is: amazing choreography. However when I went home I checked the script and it was obvious I missed quiet a few of the meanings; there is just so much to look at at once and the act is very fast.
The last act was the less funny for me, amusing but I didn't laugh at all. That was also the act that resembled the Play that Goes Wrong most and I didn't enjoy the PTGW much at all, it left me bemused at the stupidity rather than laugh out aloud.
It is definitely superior to the PTGW so I am a bit surprised at the offer I received so soon into the play whilst the PTGW has been selling out for years.

For the first few months of the London run it was easy to get a ticket on the day. It was only after they appeared on the Royal Variety performance that it started selling out. And of course Noises Off isn't new. I for one loved it at the Old Vic & the subsequent tour of the same production back in 2012-13 but am not particularly desparate to see another production of it.

Noises Off and that one I think by A Ayckbourn which has the new guy gradually take over the main part [ you know which one I mean] predate TPTGW by several years but without them TPTGW would not have emerged. It is in a fine tradition of plays that love theatre, love actors and know exactly how it all ‘works’.

Yep, that one! Funny wasn’t it? But I think they did a tv version which wasn’t so funny.It has to be on stage.
