It's one I found way more satisfying to perform in than to watch. There's such a lot going on that it's easier to get the hang of who the characters are and what they're up to if you're experiencing it over a period of weeks rather than hours, but as you say, it's a play that clearly knows how it all works, so being an amdram society putting on a play about an amdram society just brings extra layers of enjoyment. It's almost unnerving just how recognisable it all is!

How bad is the overhang in the stalls for this show? i was sitting at the front so I don't know for sure but it's played on a two story house setting so you may miss some of the things that goes on the second floor

Saw it from the front row last week for £15, quite happy that I didn't pay more. Laughed quite a lot, but felt it wasn't quite up to West End standards. Also the end felt quite rushed somehow, much prefer the movie.

Saw it tonight from the front row at the Garrick theatre for £15 and had a great time. I didn’t feel it was too close for this show. Overall, I thought Act 2 was the much stronger and funnier part. The cast I thought were really good with great comic timing. There were plenty of laughs to be had over the 2hrs.
I was sat next to a group of drama students who are currently rehearsing a production of this play. Hopefully they got plenty of ideas for their own version.

Saw this Wednesday, love the play but thought this was a little underwhelminmg production, still damn funny but not a patch on the Old Vic version few years back.

I last saw Noises Off at the Novello in 2012 and loved it so was glad to revisit it tonight. Perhaps not as strong of a production, particularly noticeable in the first act, but acts two and three were absolutely hilarious. Very much recommend!

I’m planning on going to the extra matinee tomorrow.
Does anyone know during these Christmas week matinees If any of the cast have it off or is it in their contracts from the start that they appear, unless Ill?

For a limited run, you are contracted to play for the whole run, without leave, bar illness.
Only in open runs, do people get leave.

Any offers/discounts for this? I left it to the very last moment and I can't find anything.
