I really really hope The Pillowman happens at some point. That was a seriously exciting prospect.

It seems a large chunk of tickets have been kept off sale, as the row ends appear to be missing across the run. Probably until they work out sight lines? I much prefer sitting in the aisle so will hold off until I see one of them back on sale. Yes, but central Stalls, Rows G-J also seem to be off sale throughout the run, which seems strange for those seats. I wonder why?

I wonder at what point the West End prices itself out of business and theatre sadly becomes prohibitive and elitist? There are three things announced of late I'd have ordinarily booked for but have passed on them all. I'm sure producers don't care much about me but I wonder how many other theatregoers are feeling the same and stepping back. It's a real shame.

I didn't think this was badly priced...especially considering the calibre of the star

That said, I am pretty disappointed to see no sign of The Doctor and The Pillowman at this theatre. Interview with Juliet Stevenson in The Times this week did say The Doctor would be in the West End "next year", so it's still on the cards... That is great to hear, I'd missed that interview, thanks @n1david

Is this any different from Glengarry Glen Rose with Christian Slater or Speed the Plow with Lindsay Lohan? In that ATG get a big name and hike the prices up, for it only not to sell, I didn’t pay much for both those tickets and remember getting day tickets for them both. Oddly when the great Ian McKellen played King Lear in the same Duke of York, they only charged £85, it sold out the day tickets went on sale, they could’ve charged a lot more for that one.
All what happens is people look at the price, think ouch I’m not paying that and don’t come back, they don’t associate that ticket prices might drop, they know nothing of dynamic pricing, all they know is a pair of tickets cost them £300, where if the price was reasonable they might make a purchase.
Not many people can afford £300 and the add ons for a night out.

Any tips for best views around the £40-50 mark? I'm waiting in the hope that they price the more restricted side seats in the front stalls (currently not on sale) at around those prices, or maybe the same as the £55 rear stalls. Fingers crossed.

I have no idea what this show is but... Amy Adams. Booked. I’m in a similar boat! Without spoilers can anyone advise if I will be safe going in blind or if I should do any prior reading.

I hope that poster image is a temporary one. It’s truly dreadful.

Could anyone advise if the box office at the Duke of York's is open? Would love to go and avoid the ATG transaction fee

I'm also reluctant to book online and pay the transaction fee. Hopefully they will do Rush tickets.

TodayTix have just announced an, um, exclusive pre-sale. Prices, bands etc seem exactly the same. No mention of Rush tickets anywhere in the app as of yet.

Apparently auditioning completely unknown disabled actresses for the role of Laura, per Twitter. Interesting way to go if they do decide to go that way.

I seem to get 'exclusive' pre-sales from every ticket agent, box office and app for every show that goes on sale over the span of about a week these days!

They've already announced the full cast. Lizzie Annis, who graduated from Oxford School of Drama last year, is playing Laura.

I thought this was very good for a first performance. No technical issues and the cast seemed on point.
Amy Adams gave a great performance. Very unshowy bur moving. Paul hilton as old tom/narrator was excellent as well
Staging aas very good though not THAT unique.
There is a second platform on stage, so if you do have front row seats, there will be some stuff at the back you will miss(though not much I don't think)
Ran to 2 hours 20 mins, including the interval.
