I was there this evening (hadn't realised/remembered it was the final show of the run) - circle also closed, stalls c.70% full.
It was the first time I'd seen the play but I had seen something of the comment on here so my expectations were suitably moderated. Even so, I found little to get excited about. I too had much enjoyed Brian J Smith in The Glass Menagerie, but I think my problem with this was that I just didn't like any of the characters so while I was able to appreciate some of the acting, I was left completely unmoved by the whole unraveling. It's a measure of how little engaged I was that the most exciting (and I use the word loosely) thing about the second act was spotting Rob Ostlere (the late Dr Arthur Digby from Holby City) in one of the minor roles!

For the record I thought Brian J Smith was very good in Menagerie, where he wasn't leading, for this role he stepped up but not to the plate.
