Lazarus is coming

From what I gather it's been considered but I expect it may close. At least one of the principles has another job lined up afterwards so if not there'd be a cast change which could be interesting. I do expect it'll close at the end of Jan though.

He does all shows barring illness.

I sat on the front row and the view was great. You really do want to be as close as possible in this show as the rake isn't steep enough and lots of action happens on the floor.

What are the row Z onwards seats like? Are they as far back as the name suggests?

Hmm, maybe we won't offer our spare row z ticket around then.

I looked on the website earlier for tickets for tonight and all seats had a bookable "dayseat £25" option on there. This was at about 6pm today so they are discounting close to showtime now I think!

Definitely downward dynamic pricing going on. If you look at dates in the next week or so showing "Limited Availability" there's a big block of seats at the side front stalls for £35 but for dates further ahead the same seats are still £75. Note they will exchange tickets for those of "the same or greater value" 48 hours in advance so maybe worth a go if you have a cheap seat at the back!

Interesting tip on the day seats too!

Its Life On Mars on steroids or some other sort of drug- and half the public didn't understand life On Mars. Driven bonkers by longevity isn't much of a plot. Hall didn't work for me , I kept on thinking he sounded too much like the guy Jodie Foster shoots in Silence of The Lambs. Worth a ticket though for Amy Lennox, who has a decent storyline, and created a new credible character.  and Sophia -  who both sound every good,  and are very watchable. I imagine the  stage was warmer or both would have been  frozen  - the place was at a nice temperature until the air conditioning came on,  and started blowing a blizzard down my neck.

Seats were a bit odd - they had a floating feel which was quite apt , but I thought the venue was Ok -certainly better facilities than many fringe venues, and less train noise than the Garrick.

All seats bookable as £25 day seats online for both today's performances too. Interesting that some performances (eg tomorrow night) are almost sold out (at least, appear so on the website) whereas others have huge numbers of seats left.

Like viserys I grabbed £15 seats when booking opened but great to know this is an option for return visits if I enjoy it.

Surprised this hasn't sold well but presumably a lot of that is down to the pricing. And I think it's a much bigger theatre than the one in New York. 

Is there a stage door? Is it possible to meet Michael after the show?

Stage door is near the birdcage structure thing. Marked with a little laminated sign. But when I stagedoored with my sister a few weeks ago we waited for 20-25mins and no one came out.

Well, saw this tonight from row ZL. What a disappointment! We were miles away. The venue is terrible - you can hear every bit of street noise, including loud music from other venues round about and noisy Friday night drinkers. Not to mention the sirens. The seating is terrible - uncomfortable, with bad sight lines. There's far too much ambient light from the stairs, the heaters, the fire exit signs - you never get a true blackout which means the shifting, fidgeting audience and people constantly getting up and going out/coming back in/leaving distract you.

It's utterly impossible to immerse yourself in the production with the ambience.

The production itself is visually interesting but not a lot more - story is just confusing.

Maybe from the front row you can fall into it and let it wash over you? Hard to understand what people like about it otherwise.

I wouldn't say it muffled the music - the amplification is good. But then that's also a bit weird, when you're so far away from the stage you can only vaguely see someone's mouth moving, but they sound like they're standing next to you.
