Lazarus is coming

Hi, everyone. I've been reading the forum a lot, but finally created an account to ask this question. Are the aisle seats in front stalls any good? I'd like to buy 2 tickets for me and my friend, but not sure if I should book row B or move a bit further (like rows E-F) in order to see the stage better? Thanks!

Yep, the closer the better without a doubt!

I'm not sure what I just watched.

Saw it first time and thought Valentine was an external force - aka the devil as per Life on Mars. The second time he looked like a very bad case of an alter ego gone bad? Either way he's key to the story, IF thats the story. IF there is a story.

Still worth a ticket, Temperature was OK this time.  Amy Lennox has a story , and plays it ,and sings really well - and gets to show off her abs. She's  also someone who can cover a wide age range - here she looks the  characters age throughout , but when she's with the girl,  looks as if she could play  her too.  The young lady covering for Sophia  was also very good. If lost , marooned in space, watch them. 

I haven't yet seen this, so forgive me if I sound presumptive, but this sounds like the strangest musical, possibly ever.

Very much relate to this review - the weirdness is recognised, but, as it was for me, the author doesn't find it impossible to follow and sees it rather like a room for endless interpretation.. Probably will uncover some ideas for those who were struggling. Those yet to go might want to revisited the text later on - spoilers all around.

Saw it too but didn't love it. I enjoyed parts of it but didn't understand a lot of what was going on even after watching the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth" a short while ago. I was grateful about the comments on here about the view from the back though. Fortunately I was able to change my seats to row C before seeing it. One look at the vast auditorium and I knew I'd done the right thing.

Seems a strange decision to close on the 22nd January when being so close to the anniversary of DB's passing ( 10th January ) and the planned documentary on the BBC of his last 5 years would have generated more ticket sales.

Saw this last night, and will say I liked it rather than loved it. As other people in here have said, there's not much of a story to carry things along, and some of the songs seemed wedged in without having any real relevance to the storyline, but my interest was held until the end of the show (and I liked the way things were wrapped up without a conventional 'happy' ending)

Hall was good (he started some of the songs with a Bowie-esque erm, twang but thankfully didn't try to do an out and out impersonation), but I thought the two female leads were superb and were the real stars of this show. I also really enjoyed Michael Espers performance, he really tore into his songs with gusto and looked like he was having a ball (although he did seem to be channelling Ramsay Bolton just that little bit too much into his performance).

The sound quality was good, and there was some great use of back projection and lighting, and I also liked the band in the studio behind the main set (and also the best use of balloons I've seen for a while) - but I was sat front row, don't know what people sitting right at the back would have seen, if anything. Have to say £15 for front row was the bargain of the year, heard a lot of people that had been sitting in the rows behind me moaning about the play on the train home, but I don't know if that was because they'd paid a lot more money, or just because it wasn't a Mamma Mia kind of show.

I thought the actual theatre was OK, a bit characterless, and could hear a few police sirens going off in the distance but my main gripe with it was the temperature (or lack of it), it was like sitting in an ice box, I was wearing a heavy overcoat and had to sit there with it buttoned up, God help anyone who went in not wearing a coat.

I hate to say, I was quite the opposite. Far too warm, to the point I wanted to remove my jumper within the first 5mins (but the rows were quite restrictive and I didn't want to spoil what little view anyone had for a few seconds) so just lifted it up and folded it over so it covered from my ribs up. I was at the very back though, as opposed to the front.

Saw this last night after seeing it in New York a year and a few days ago. So much better second time round. I fully understood the characters and the storyline and managed to find the many meanings of the show. The fact that David Bowie is dead also adds a lot to the show and its story. I was even close to tears at the end! Michael C. Hall is a legend. He hardly leaves the stage throughout all of 1 hour and 50 minutes, I cannot imagine anyone else in this role. I hadn't actually remembered him being as good as that. I would definitely recommend a second viewing (or perhaps buying the script), because it is a very intense show and there is a lot to take in at the time.

Saw this on Saturday, front row in the centre. Venue is a bit odd but temperature and external noise were fine.

I can see it's not for everyone but I loved it, enjoyable loopy and a lot more going on than just a jukebox musical.
