The last lot of £15 All Rise tickets have finally gone on sale on TodayTix. Mostly Row R in the stalls plus some restricted view seats, but there are a few better seats available on some dates. Thanks for the heads up! Managed to get a pair in the front row for Easter Monday, chuffed

The last lot of £15 All Rise tickets have finally gone on sale on TodayTix. Thanks for posting!! I had been sporadically checking because I wanted to see Matthew Modine. Grabbed a nice pair of Dress Circle seats.

Managed to grab a couple of tix for the £15 All Rise seats next month. Taking a friend as a surprise and delighted with the seats. I saw it last year from Stalls row W with the deal, much happier to be in row G of the stalls for this trip!

Finally went to see this today. As someone who hasn't read the book, I found the first act fairly interesting but also bitty and confusing in places (particularly how the scenes not set in a court room, as it wasn't always clear what the point of them was). I also found that the sound wasn't great from where I was sat (Row R of the Stalls) as I couldn't hear every word the actors were saying, especially when members of the audience were rustling packets or whispering to each other. And it did take me a bit of getting used to seeing three clearly adult actors playing the child characters. I think sometimes their movements were a bit too exaggerated.
The second half though I thought was much stronger. It seemed to be more linear, with some impactful moments, so I left fairly satisfied in the end. I think I would give it a 3.75* rating overall.
As an aside, I hope more productions follow the All Rise model in future. Once the tickets went on sale, they were so much easier to purchase than Rush tickets and it was great being able to go with two friends of mine, as we usually hang out as a trio.

Grr just noticed a typo on this that it won't let me correct now. It should say it wasn't always clear to me what the point of the non courtroom based scenes in the first half was, how they fitted in with the main storyline.
I also missed out a huge benefit of All Rise vs Rush, that is being able to book in advance. Most of my friends aren't keen on leaving things to chance on the day, especially as they have limited free time, so I'm expecting I'll mostly be using Rush for solo theatre trips.

Saw the final performance with one of the All Rise tickets. Great value for £15. Enjoyed it as much as my previous visit and hope it will comeback to the West End at some point.
