Interesting seat layout. They must be doing something with the staging.

When I saw this at Hampstead - and then transferring to the Gielgud - a few years ago they had a track running round the back of the stalls.It looks like they are doing the same thing between rows D and F. I found the whole production exhilarating as you could literally feel the rush of wind as the actors whizzed round behind you.It's quite a physical show for the actors.

I directed this 5 years ago and had a ball. The script is taut and tells the story very clearly. Lots of music.
But the races and overall physicality are central to it.
I had a revolve, ramps and seats taken out to create the running track and I still remember the feeling of the cast running round during the curtain call to the main theme from the film. Unforgettable!

The staging looks really interesting! Especially with what those above me have said about a race track. Its a bit of pity I’m due to have a baby that week so probably can’t risk it…

Something else going on besides a single running track between D and F. It’s normal for the rows right at the back to not be on sale unless they decide to release more seats later. But row J has the same few intermittent seats showing for every perf but none of them on sale. Maybe another track in front of row J?

Disabled pricing FTW.
