The new dress circle rows h to l presumably are built on the former stage side. Seem to have better seat availability anyone risking them? All seat data on the previous playhouse layout shows a low stall rake, cramped seating and from the circles views with rails. Do people think they will have sorted some of this with the new layout? My seats are stalls row E and instructions say "enter basement level - stage door". Suggests the stage will be lower than usual.

FINAL... I was booked and done in the 23 minutes they predicted just the wait would be. All the closest seats are at tables for 2. The first row of seats behind the tables were only available in a bundle (at least for the date I was looking at in January), so I had to book the next row behind for a solo ticket.
UPDATED... it's going very quickly. Number of users in queue ahead of you: 191
Your estimated wait time is: 4 minutes
ORIGINAL: Just got the link, clicked and got: Number of users in queue ahead of you: 557 Your estimated wait time is: 23 minutes

Lucky timing for me I guess, got in after a 2 minute queue. Eye watering prices so I’ve gone for front row of upper circle for £40. I note it’s less rows so hopefully good enough sight lines. As much as I’d love to treat myself to a better seat I’ve resisted!

Gourmet Meal?
Have they built a kitchen as part of the reconfiguration then? Or are they buying in lots of pre-prepared meals from a caterer which they’ll plate up and serve with a flourish? Also, will this be german cuisine? I think we need answers…

Pre-pandemic I’d have booked this. But now? Not at those prices, not in that theatre and not at the start of winter. I’ll wait for offers if there are any, but I fear my days of spending a week’s wage on a pair of tickets is long gone. The prices are nuts. For the first time ever I bought the ticket insurance. Anybody wanting a box for four? It'll cost you £1000. Yes, one thousand pounds.

It's moving quick. Probably people get to the front of the queue and think sod that, I'm not paying those prices.

Yike. I got through okay, got a single seat in Row E for £90, which I don't find too outrageous for a show with such star power.
