I bought a £90 seat in stalls row L for tomorrow night. That is a lot for a preview on a Tuesday! Was afraid to wait in case they jack up the prices even more.

The 10am release of tickets arrived a few minutes late. Tickets in the the back two rows of the gallery - £25/£10 Difficult to know if they're worth it for a 3 hour show. Could put up with a restricted view for half the length. There were also a few £90 stalls seats. Yeah I decided against it. I have fond memories sitting in the front row dayseats on the last two occasions. If the dayseats this time turn out to be front row I may give it another go and get queuing. |

Have decent stalls tickets for next Monday but I'm planning ahead for if I want to see it for the 2nd time and will need to grab some on a Monday release. Day seats not an option for me unfortunately. Will have a think. |

Logged on a few minutes early to see what the 10 am release would be like, found there were a few tickets on offer even before that and bought stalls tickets (Row E) for £90 for tomorrow night. If my memory of the production is even 50% correct, great value at the price.

Hi, could you please tell how many intervals/breaks it has? There is a 20 minute interval between act One and Two and then a 5 minute pause between act Two and Three. I was told that the first interval is where you should have your toilet or drink break as in the pause you would not be able to. However lots of people stood up between act Two and Three so I am sure they will make this more clear. Thanks - I have some balcony seats I'm going to give to a tall but not regular theatregoing relative because I don't think I can make it (5 hours train travel plus 3 hours in a theatre is still too much of a covid risk for me) but I think he'll need to stretch his legs a bit if it's 3 hours. So saying, he sat through Dune and the Bond films and they're getting on for that length. |

Dayseats:
- x 14 front row tickets £10 each
- a number of balcony tickets £10 each
It's a very strong play and I am sure I don't need to 'review' it, as most people already seen it first time around, but....
...I struggled to see how the 3 x 15 year old girls fit into this. All the male characters are given a story, but we learn absolutely nothing about the 2 young ladies. I also struggle to understand why 2 wholesome 15 old girls would keep coming back to a character like Rooster. Don't get me started on the 'dance', I cannot see a 15 year old girl wanting such a dance...
Regardless, the rest was exactly as good as expected if not better.

Day seats available in person at the Apollo Theatre box office for every performance, from 10am 300 tickets released every Monday at 10am on jerusalemtheplay.co.uk I’m so glad they’re keeping proper day seats. The original production day seat queue is a legitimate London theatre legend! |

The original production day seat queue is a legitimate London theatre legend! Queued from 4:30am on a January morning for them - not an experience I'd want to repeat but was well worth it! |

Rooster Byron is back! I got the feeling some text has been changed/added - at least some of the references sounded a bit more contemporary than 2009 - or they were extremely prophetic then!
When you have seen a production more than once you can never replicate the shock and awe of the first time but, as with rereading a book, you can pick up things you might have missed before. There are more references to names/events which place it in its time then I remembered but my view continues to be that this is a monster of a play, still the best new play of the century I have seen and that it is the part of Rylance's life. He struts and straddles the stage like a colossus, part-fiend part-shaman, a magnetic presence who is always worth keeping in your eyesight when he's on the stage.
Age has not withered him nor custom staled his infinite variety.
More than just a play, a theatrical experience.

Damn it, I’d told myself I don’t need to see it again, but these reviews are making me want to now!

First time posting here in forever but I had to share this! It looks like unsold dayseats are popping up online, I’ve just grabbed a £10 ticket on the end of the front row for this evening. I’m sure the stage is obscenely high but it would be foolish to pass up. Almost the whole row of balcony dayseats are still up for sale.

Think I’m in the minority here but I really didn’t enjoy this at all. Everyone around me seemed to be loving it but I just didn’t get what all the fuss was about!

My OH didn't like it much when we saw it on its first outing. I think, not sure about this though, that its moment may have passed. What do other people think? |

I haven't seen it but did read it not long after Brexit and I think a revival then would have been more interesting. It's a shame this revival got so delayed - the world's changed so much just in the last couple of months that it feels like we've shifted back to the 70s or 80s now. |

So I succumbed to a slightly-restricted by handrail seat in the Grand Circle. I think they have released about 8 seats in the balcony and 4 in the second row of the stalls for almost all of the run. There’s a few others scattered about too but those were consistent for every date I checked. |

I got one for today, at around 10:15. £15 front row. I saw Jerusalem in 2010 and again in 2011 from the front row and they are great seats! Incredible to be able to go again 11 years later! |
