It doesn't make a lot of sense, but admittedly so many paper-thin plays have won the Olivier on the strength of spectacular productions that it's not awful to prioritize playwriting by sending installments of franchises in the entertainment category.

David Thaxton nominated over Jamie Parker? I loved Sunset and Thaxton's performance, but Parker was leagues ahead. For Me he was the MVP of Next To Normal. I assume Jamie would have been nominated in the leading actor category, like J Robert Spencer on Broadway

How does the same production of a show returning to its original venue (Groundhog Day) and a West End transfer of the same production (Hadestown) equal a revival nomination?! oh that's just Oliviers magic, they do it all the time

I love how people think that the use of cameras in Sunset was new and innovative rather than something that every other play has been doing for a decade

Had a lovely tour of the NT last week, and our guide was telling us how the stages are capable of holding an entire different show’s set in the wings/flys, and pre Covid each stage would run two shows a week This seems wild to me as someone who only moved to the uk recently! Does anyone have any examples of this? Were there common themes between the two shows? Would they divide the week in half, or do each show on every second day? It's part of its history as a repertory company, I didn't realize they weren't doing it anymore post-covid. I remember seeing My Brilliant Friend and Translations in the same week at the Olivier in Autumn 2019. But no, the plays didn't have common themes running through them, the multiple shows being performed were not intended to be companion pieces. As for the schedule it really depends, it was never a 50-50 situation. Sometimes one of the plays would do just two or three performances a week or even disappear for a little while. Some times a show started out doing all the performances of the week and then fizzled down to a few for part of its run. For the middle part of the run Follies shared the Olivier Theatre stage in repertory with the play St. George and the Dragon during 2017

The Evening Standard gave it 4* back in 2018, although that production had a much better cast

Do they do day of rush or am I better off just getting a cheaper ticket? Yeah they have a rust although it sells fairly quickly.

Excluding RAH, I'd say Finborough Theatre

If you mean the upcoming Thursday, I'd suggest Pacific Overtures or The Motive and the Cue.

It's shocking that of all people Lynn Nottage is the one that authored the book. A girl must eat, but

Theatres like ROH, NT and the Almeida have success run under 25 schemes for years, requiring ID before collecting tickets or similar strategies. Why are people acting as if it's some sort of new thing?

Timothee Chalamet also sold out in hours his expected run in 4000 at the Old Vic pre-pandemic. Top prices were around 90£, those were the days
