Hmm is £15 standing in the Royal Circle worth it or do we think there might be offers/day/rush closer to the time?

No idea whether they've kept seats back, but I can't see discounting happening when it has sold so well. My sister has been searching for returns every few days and managed to get 2 front balcony seats the other day, so worth keeping an eye on what's available if you don't want standing tickets. |

Not sure if there's rear stalls standing but if you or the performer is over 4'6" then that would be crouching rather than standing due to the overhang of the circle.

From the website: “30 Daily Pay What You Can seats released each week from 6 April”, and “A limited number of standing tickets will be available at the box office on the day of performance. “ I’m presuming this is the only kind of ‘rush’ they’ll be offering. There’s a link to sign up for information on the website too. |

This is crazy, how can she sustain a nine week run in a one woman show if she has to deal with this after every show?

Considering its just her, I think they'll re-evaluate after tonight and say she's not going to do it.
The run is totally sold out.
If she gets sick there's no understudy it's just...off.

Aren't most shows on the West End doing stage door again?

There is an understudy as she has a page in the programme. I saw the show last night and Jodie was absolutely brilliant. |

Yeah I hope she doesn't do stage door. I've been seeing a lot of entitlement on Twitter from people demanding stage door, I thought the pandemic might have made people more courteous about this stuff, evidently not

She's bringing in people who want to see her and couldn't give a monkeys about the show. |

Ah interesting, I had been told during rehearsals that there wasn't I wonder if they have someone who can come on to finish the play if she takes ill half way through or at very short notice? It would all be very odd, but with a sold out run you can't exactly invite people to return to another performance to find out how it ends. That stage door is too much. Yes, it's the first night, and I bet some present are paparazzi and the professional autograph hunters, and quite a few who won't have seen the show or have any intention of doing so. It's up to the management to put a stop to it. If it were a handful of people and it's outside then a quick hello should be safe, but that's not what I see in those photos. Even when it's a handful of people, it's extra work when she should be trying to switch off. They should make a decision that there's to be no hanging around at the stage door and get someone from security to make sure she gets out without disruption. |

This show has an understudy. Every show operates differently, but usually the understudy remains in the theatre until most of the show is over then slips off home towards the end. |

I think the point is more whether the understudy would go on if Jodie fell sick before the show and couldn't go on at all, or was out for several days. |

I think the point is more whether the understudy would go on if Jodie fell sick before the show and couldn't go on at all, or was out for several days. Yes, that's what I was wondering. It's not the first time I've come across the concept of an understudy!  I was trying to resolve the previous claim of there being no understudy with there being a page for one in the programme. It might be that somewhere along the way 'no alternate' became 'no understudy', but given that it's a new play with one actress who happens to be one of the UK's hottest talents right now, most people will have booked based on the desire to see her. Hopefully we won't have to find out their policy if she does fall sick before a show. Stage door scrummage aside, I'd like to think that being a one woman show might offer her some protection from COVID along with the other bugs that spread through companies. I think it's worth saying that whilst Jodie is a very popular and successful actress who appeals to people who don't normally go to the theatre, a lot of occasional and regular theatre goers will think she's great and want to see what she can do too. Of course if Jodie promoted her appearance in the play via social media then it would give her fans a head start to buying tickets over theatre fans who happen to think she's great, but I would argue that the most hardcore of them would want to be there for opening night, while the more theatre experienced fans would know the benefits of giving it a few days. |
