No, that's deliberate! I was surprised by the emergency door - health and safety because of the candles, and maybe painting it would compromise its fire resistance? Interesting, thanks! Regarding the door, appreciate the sign has to be there, but I was thinking along the lines of a fake door running diagonally from the end of the wall at the side, so the actors exit through that and then have space to exit through the real door. If that makes sense! I sat in one of the pillar seats in row O which was fine for £20 but did require a bit of head ducking to see the action at some points. Given the choice, I would go for seats on the right hand side of the auditorium (as you face the stage) so you can see the bits that happen outside the windows at the other side of the stage. Stage left?

I saw this on my recent trip to London. I basically went because I have enjoyed other Bartlett plays. I bought the script so must read it when I get a chance. I liked it but – I got the feeling that the audience was supposed to be more sympathetic to the younger characters, the alleged ‘snowflakes’, and I am not sure that I was. I am in my early 40s and increasingly I just wanted the young girls to shut up being so annoying and self-centred. I didn't necessarily agree with the father's approach and the way he dealt with stuff but he had been through a lot of stuff too and I found myself siding more with (some of) his arguments than theirs. It felt like he had been badly treated by her too. Probably says more about me at this age than other audience members though

Does anybody know what the paw prints are on certain performances on the website eg on Sunday? Does it mean that something is different?

Are they only doing E-Tickets for this? That is certainly the only option they gave me. Call me old fashioned, but I like a physical ticket. Very excited to have booked though! Yes. Only e-tickets

Got in at 2:47pm and noticed all the premium tickets had gone. Was willing to fork out 125 for a seat in row e/f but ended up with a seat in centre row N for 90. Was not expecting a 2.75hr wait Were you looking for a particular date? Because after I got in after 4 hours I think I must have checked 90% of the dates and they all had premium tickets available.

I've used my JL Mastercard for Prince of Egypt - I'd already booked for myself but I've got 2 tix for son and his partner for the same night. I'm quite disappointed with whats on offer. Rear stalls for Come From Away, way up top for A Christmas Carol (I'm going to miss going to the last night ). I was hoping for the Mischief Magic show. There's a few popular ones that I've already seen (Jamie, Waitress) but I'm not interested in a second viewing. I had a look at Girl from the North Country and it's rear stalls again. I didn't think that booking had opened for ANY Mastercard holders until 10am on Friday?

Took 4 hours to get in but there are LOADS of tickets left - for pretty much every date. So I wonder if it's more the system being completely rubbish as opposed to demand being THAT high. Managed to get 4 tickets at reasonable prices VERY easily. The system is quite glitchy though and attempts to throw the user out constantly but you can tap back a few times and it should still be holding stuff in the basket

Whoopee. Extended 19 performances. When most of the current performances are showing as only having sold about a tenth of their tickets. Whoopee.

Well this puts me in between a rock and a hard place. I can see it this February while I’m in New York for a working vacation with Ed Harris. Or, I can wait until this summer to see it. To be honest, I’ll probably see it on Broadway because I like Ed Harris. You're having a working vacation with Ed Harris? Yeah I'd probably stick with that then

Well that’s saved me money not buying a ticket. What a shame He’s a brilliant actor! Disagree. I can see him ‘acting’ in every role he plays.

Marcus is like a younger version of Antoni from Queer Eye in his look, voice and mannerisms
