Has anyone sat in any of the seats in Row N/know what the view must be like? Have seen they're a bit cheaper, but based on the seating plan I cannot for the life of me work out what the positioning of these seats are in relation to the stge!

If there is a weather warning of a tempest blowing through the Hampstead Theatre that would be Ms Sharon D Clarke, who is a real force of nature, her eleven o’cloak number ‘underwater’ was simply sensational. Lauren Ward not to the same standard as Ms Clarke, plays it more subtle, still puts a smile on my face. However the musical that got awarded a shiny Olivier for best new musical, will be one that will be looked on with head scratching bewilderment, although it did have its moments, it certainly wasn’t emotionally affecting, as say something like Les Miserables, or a more pertinent example would be Parade, this was an ersatz equivalent. This is generally let down by a pedestrian score by Tesori and Kushner that doesn’t really achieve any momentum until Sharon D Clarke’s delightful number. Tesori has certainly done a lot better with Fun Home and even the child friendly Shrek. Same as Chichester, I couldn’t comprehend why the set needed a contraption that floats a cast member across the theatre’s ceiling and didn’t see this as plausible. 3 Stars, but mainly for the performances. You did award The Inheritance 4 stars I would give it only 2 Had to add I was partly responsible for the Olivier it won 😂😂😂 The same year Tonya Pinkins Was robbed by Jenna Russell Who is now living it large In Albert Square 😂😂😂 |

The same year Tonya Pinkins Was robbed by Jenna Russell I'd consider them equally deserving, Russell's Dot was transcendent. Pinkins should have totally won the Tony over Idina tho. |

Didn’t get a Tony and just managed to run for 4 months in a small Broadway theatre.
What does Fiona Mountford and WOS know?

I'd imagine that this show will transfer for a a limited engagement in a small theater like the Harold Pinter or Duke of Yorks, and I'd think it would start in September and go through the New Year perhaps.

Might it go to Trafalgar Studio 1 in May? I wouldn't be surprised... Didn’t realise that The Grinning Man is closing? Didn’t get a Tony and just managed to run for 4 months in a small Broadway theatre. What does Fiona Mountford and WOS know? It won a Tony for best featured actress And an Olivier for best new musical Wow won best actress and Sharon Clarke could win a Olivier if transfers. Even so it barely lasted past the Tony and limped through to Labor Day. |

Entire run is now officially sold out. Shame as I wanted to catch it but couldn't commit to a date yet. Fingers crossed it'll transfer 😁

I'm so annoyed! I wanted to book this 48 hours ago but a certain significant other wanted to figure out their schedule so told me to hold off, and now it's too late. Gah!

Sorry you missed out Check For returns daily as they will put them online for performances more than 2 days ahead This is why we must NOT wait for others when booking And go ahead Or we end up missing shows!! Hampstead are having a good few sellouts In the main house |

And as far as I am aware there are usually not any understudies at Hampstead This is not the world of the WE where people can't even manage a full weeks work!! |

I think the last time I went to see Sharon D Clark was in the West End in 'Ghost' and she was off, although as far as I know she did all performances in the pantos at Hackney Empire with Clive Rowe, but I am just talking rather loosely here. |
