Had my NT member presale link this morning, tickets booked with extreme ease! Hadestown, I'm Cominnnnnnnnnng! What are prices like? Also, did it say how long previews were going to be for? Looking at one of the first dates - but it seems to be fairly consistent at least during the first month: STALLS: a good chunk of seats towards the front are at £ 89.50, with a section of what we'd probably call "premium seats" at £ 125 and "very premium seats" at £ 150. A handful of seats towards the back of the stalls are priced at £ 69.50 £ 52.50 (some of which are marked with a "pillar in sightline" warning...), with £ 39.50 in the second from last row and £ 20 in the very last row. DRESS CIRCLE: a similar distribution and similar price categories, but not going below the 69.50 mark. GRAND CIRCLE: these range from £ 29.50 to £ 69.50 BALCONY: these range from £ 20 to £ 39.50. Personally, I find these to be generally too high, with some being pure madness (the ones at 52.50 with a pillar in sightline and the 39.50 ones in the balcony...). In fact, I have not booked although my NT membership would allow me to... I'm not going to fork out that kind of money without even knowing yet who will be cast in the lead roles, especially as I was lucky enough to catch the show at the NT and saw it from the second row of the Olivier for very little... |

Thank you. Pretty costly indeed… Any indication of how long previews are going to last? |

Thank you. Pretty costly indeed… Any indication of how long previews are going to last? Purely based on the fact that you can't book tickets for 21.02.2024, I'd guess it's going to be opening night. It's a fairly short preview period, but the show is likely going to be a photocopy of the one that's been running on Broadway for years now, so the previews are more for the cast and tech team to settle into their tracks, than for making adjustments to the material. Also, I note it looks as though they'll be performing on Sundays, but will be dark on Mondays. |

Fun fact - last time I saw this show, from central row O of the Olivier, I paid just £36 a ticket. 😭

Seen a few people across social media already purchasing tickets, anyone know if the presale code is bashing about somewhere early or if this is all just through NT memberships?

Pricing is super punchy on this - £89.50 for a RV?!
Think I'll wait for news on casting.

So many restricted views in the Lyric. All the less expensive tickets are in a different postcode or missing 2/3rds of the stage. This should not be the modern theatregoing experience.

Another one I'll be waiting for a rush/lottery 'win' or a sale to see.

Oh, not the Lyric. Aspects of Love got my fastest standing ovation ever, purely because I couldn't bear to sit in my seat one second longer, I was so uncomfortable and just had to get up!

I sat second row grand circle last week and STILL had obstructed view with people in front of me. During the interval it was a chorus of people telling everyone to stop leaning forward. I think front row Dress Circle/Grand Circle or Stalls is the only way to go for this theatre.

I think front row Dress Circle/Grand Circle or Stalls is the only way to go for this theatre. I got tickets for the front row of the Grand Circle thinking it'd be the best view at a reasonable price - however I have since heard that if you are a short person (I'm five foot nothing) then even front row of the GC is a restricted view UNLESS you lean forward. Which...I really hate it when people do that. So might need to invest in a cushion to boost me a little taller so I don't have to lean forward and annoy everyone behind me. |

Do we think we have any chance of Jamie Muscato as Orpheus?

For me, the ideal casting would be:
Orpheus: Anyone really, but a plus if it’s Jamie Muscato
Euridyce: Nathania Ong
Hermes: Cedric Neal
Hades: Earl Carpenter (I would sell my soul for this)
Persephone: Ava Brennan
So, if anyone hears anything, please let us know, this is all I can think about at the moment 😅
