Could Idina be Dina? The place she’s in looks similar to the start of the film trailer for The Bands Visif…

I dunno I think she preferes originating roles. And I suspect that if they had a name as big as hers they'd open in a West End theatre for a limited season, they could charge higher prices than Donmar and have a bigger audience as well. But you never know

So I just got back from seeing this show in Southern California 10tony awards no less … I knew nothing about it but gave it a go … maybe it was the pace , maybe it was because it was in a huge 3000 seat theatre could be many things but For the first time in my life I felt like not going back after the interval ….. sad thing was there was no interval …. 1 hr 45 min straight through … around .8 people in our section left after an hour and never came back
Is this a marmite show ? Anyone else really love it ? Or not so much ?

Anyone else really love it ? Or not so much ? Oh I thought it to be a pretty terrible show. Every other nominee that year a better musical (yes, including SpongeBob). I’ll hopefully be able to give it another whirl at the Donmar though.

I’ll hopefully be able to give it another whirl at the Donmar though. I guess it must be a marmite show then, because I thought this was one of the best things I'd seen in years. There was something very magical about it and the atmosphere created in the theatre, I personally felt very drawn in, invested and touched by each character's journey - however small they are in reality. As drowseychap says, I can imagine that may be lost in a larger venue so the Donmar is a very good fit for it.

Caught this in New York and have to agree unfortunately that I didn't quite get the hype - ultimately I was just a wee bit bored with the whole thing

It’s nice, and the music is really lovely but it lacks in energy and story. A band accidentally arrive in a town where nothing happens… and then nothing continues to happen.

Little, subtle, emotional stuff - granted - but there are so many layers bubbling away. It’s not an action packed spectacle, no, but every character is yearning for something new and different, which almost but never quite arrives for most. It’s like a musical Chekov. I thought it was beautiful.

How is this selling in priority booking? I would say pretty well..looked at quite a few dates and each one had more sold seats than available..

Nice and easy this morning. Grabbed two front row seats for the matinee in October. Would say at the moment about 50% sold

Never booked with the Donmar on a ticket release day before, was surprised how easy it was. With there being no online queue I was expecting a painful experience, but there was plenty of availability and I had my confirmation email instantly.

Agreed, selling well but I nabbed a front row stalls seat for an early performance. Excellent booking site and process.

The circle is very far forward and you are looking sharply down on the actors Also depending how tall you are the safety bar can block your view meaning you have to lean forward which is not fun for the people sitting in the row behind Thanks, Ill give it a miss then. I just wanted to change my tickets (which are 3rd row centre stalls) for another day, but the best they had was upstairs..

The first preview has been cancelled because technical rehearsals were delayed by the funeral... They say the box office will contact us in the next days to move us to different dates.
