Was there tonight too - agree with a lot of what has been said. Was fully on board at the second interval but act 3 drags it down a fair bit and really needs some cuts. LM is great but missed her a lot in the latter stages where she wasn't around
3hr 35 tonight. Jude Law spotted in the stalls.

It has a 7pm start and Kushner always gonna Kushner - not sure why people are surprised. Doesn't matter so long as its good! I'm going next Thursday.

First preview last night - thought this was OK but suffered from an audience laughing hysterically at absolutely anything. Cumming was good but bordering on the tolerable side of hammy. Radcliffe was... fine but quite stiff.
Rough for Theatre II is 25 mins and was quite fun with Cumming in his element. Then there's a (very noisy!) interval before Endgame. A bit of breaking the fourth wall. Finished at 9:50 last night but started late so that will be earlier as time goes on I imagine.
Warning for those sat in the circles on the right hand side as I was, your view will be obscured for a couple of moments but not enough to spoil your enjoyment and you can gather what is happening anyway. Not sure if its the same case on the other side.

Absolutely loved Baby Reindeer at the Bush, glad it’s transferring but yes a shame it’s not doubling up with something else.

Almost a begrudging respect for the woman sat next to me at Duchess of Malfi last night at the Almeida who turned up extremely drunk, completely passed out for the entire first half, woke up at the interval applause with a loud "Woooooooooooooooo!" before vomiting onto the floor. She did not return for the second half, you won't be surprised to hear.

Oh I saw this on Broadway with Sigourney Weaver and enjoyed it very much.

Just missed the Lucky Dip seats that were released the other day, anyone had luck with the returns queue? Seems I'm very late to the party! Any luck with day seats? I’m out of the country until next week but really want to see this.

One of the few times I've been at the Donmar and seen empty seats (Knives in Hens being notable) and feel the regulars really have missed out. Yes I went last night and my £10 circle seat was upgraded to centre stalls with several empty seats. Its a shame its not selling (is the title putting people off?) because I thought it was great.

£10 seats booked easily, just now. Plenty of for Far Away on Valentine's Day, should any board singletons be keen !

Really enjoyed this last night - want to parrot the praise for Imp which I found pretty devastating. Well worth catching.

The Scottsboro Boys and People, Places & Things are pretty glaring omissions.

Two PwC performances on sale next Monday for first two previews. I predict a scrum.

Just over 3 hrs tonight so they’re trimming already. Will make coherent thoughts in the morning but it needs a fair bit of tightening up and I’m not sure it entirely works but Iw was rarely bored.

Much like last year I have left this terribly late - there from 2-6, any theatre recs? Comedy shows nearly always come to London afterwards so more keen on the theatre side of things.

Was there last night too, looked like Arinzé Kene was comforting Sharon D Clarke at curtain call, she seemed quite emotional (unsurprisingly!) - a really great production.

It was 2 hrs 55 at the matinee yesterday (though website still saying 2 hrs 45).
Certain parts did feel quite dated but thought this was an excellent production, very sparsely populated matinee, hope things pick up.
