Good news, it's a great production, but a lot will depend on the cast!

Interesting they’ve gone for a smaller theatre than the Shubert but I imagine it’ll sell if they can get Jeff Daniels.

saw this at the Barbican some years ago with Robert Sean Leonard and it was excellent. Wonder who the new cast wil be and the version I saw will be very hard to beat.

Tempted to see this when I go to NYC in August but the astronomical prices are putting me off - I’ll wait to see what the pricing (and cast) is like before I get too excited.

Exciting! I wonder which big name actor they'll get? Ethan Hawke has said for a while he'd like to do West End.

Looking on Today Tix the weekend I’m going at end of August, cheapest they have is $89 which is ‘concierges choice’ on the balcony which I’m assuming is the crappy seats right at the back they couldn’t sell to passers by- I wasn’t expecting to get Orchestra for a bargain price but I think I’ll probably go and see something else while I’m there.

Not always very high value in terms of ticket yield or donations

Sonia has sent her close personal friends a presale link for tickets to previews. Prices are not too horrific - stalls are £78, £63 or £43 (for the back few rows), same price range for dress circle, upper circle is £23, £30 or £43. Maybe assume another £10 or so on these prices after previews. Still not too bad compared to (eg) Cyrano, given what a hot ticket this has been on Broadway.

I'm not going to book until they announce the cast, the Broadway ensemble were so good that I'm not in a rush to see this again unless we get a really good cast.

I’ll be curious to see who they cast, I doubt they’ll get Jeff Daniels a he has other commitments but I imagine they’ll get a name for Atticus.

This'll attract quite a bit of interest from theatregoers, it seems safe to say.
Plus however many copies of the book have already been sold or borrowed in the past so many decades, the arrival of such a play in London will boost interest in the book.

He was brilliant in A Christmas Carol. I’m glad they’ve gone for a British name rather than cast an American actor. I’ll be very curious to they get to play Scout

I'm also in the category of "not liking Rhys Ifans". I know lots of people like him, but he's not to my taste. But I was excited about this production, so will have to weigh things up.

At least he'll be in a real play rather than the embarrassing piece of bilge in which he is currently trapped at the Royal Court.

I've a slot in August and I think it's between this and Sunday in the Park. Can't decide. Can anyone who has seen both recommend which to go for?!
(Apologies for bringing this TKAM thread slightly off piste!)
