Opening delayed by 2 weeks, and extended to 11 May. On the site it still seems to be booking only until 13th April? I can't see mention of an extension to 11th May? Extension won't be visible yet ..as offering first seats to people affected by delay internally..

Just came out of queue (was about 4000)..went back in again vai email link..no queue . Straight to date ..seat plan etc and booked... That's because they had already reached that queue position, and your queue id was held in cookies. The queue was 9,700 at 10:03 and that position is down to 4,200 now (11:13), so the first 5,500 places have passed. Right now, the back of the queue has 15,000+ in front. Just went back in and it says I'm in queue postion 3000 and counting down..so it still must be remembering my postion...its not taking me to the booking page...so thinks I haven't booked when the queue disappeared briefly..?

Could I please ask about the pricing for this? Know a fair few non-regular-theatregoers who would love it so I'm hoping prices won't put them off. thanks Standard tickets are are priced between £20.00 and £77.50 with premiums £99.50 and £125.50. The £20 seats are mostly at the back of the stalls and dress circle. Previews aren't any cheaper as far as I can see. Seemed to be some light blue seats for 20 earlier on that became 35 green later into the run..

Enjoyed this on Friday evening. The concept is immediately interesting, and Lucy Prebble's writing is consistently entertaining and thought-provoking. The transformation of the Lyttelton is impressive, adding a new level of tension and observation for the characters. Soutra Gilmour's set design is predictably sparse, but complemented by stunning lighting design from Jon Clark which nicely punctuates the action. This is alongside intense sound design by George Denis, with an original underscore, which adds a sense of pace and really heighten the power of the text. As he does best, Jamie Lloyd allows the text to shine, with his classic H&M costume design and use of mics for amplification. Performances from Paapa Essiedu and Taylor Russell are convincing - the chemistry between Tristan and Connie isn't quite captivating yet, but I imagine that it'll settle very nicely further into the run. As mentioned by others, Michele Austin is a real standout, and Dr James feels like the real focus of this production (I'm not sure whether this was true of the original production, but the spotlight does feel a little misplaced on her.) It received a very quick standing ovation on Friday, and I think that this will be a hit with younger audiences. It's effortlessly cool and relevant to current discourse surrounding mental health. In my opinion, another immense success in the Lyttelton this year. Saw this last night and personally I thought it was fantastic from top to bottom...I knew nothing about it.. It felt fresh and modern to me and very edgy. Staging and sound top notch giving it a really clinical exciting approach. Was on the edge of my seat at times.. Taylor Russell looks a very gifted actress..Hope we see more of her...Standing ovation at the end..

Saw the final matinee on Saturday. Nice concert version of the show. The whole cast sounded great. Pity the couldn't do the staged version which I saw earlier in the run and loved it. They did the staged version Saturday evening but the concert version Saturday afternoon as you say. I wonder if there's any chance of this having a future life elsewhere, or if the Almeida might bring it back, given all the cancellations towards the end of the run. Hoping for a cast recording..shame to lose all that great music...

Have either of you contacted the theatre about this in advance? I went there this evening before seeing another show ( thanks to Elizabeth Line on a rail strike day!) and arranged an exchange with no problem. Got two great seats in row E now. At no further expense?

Looks like that guess was correct, finally had it confirmed in a DMT+ email that it's 10am Then the general priority from 12.
I joined DMT+ so I could get MJ tickets from 10am, but I haven’t had this email. I assumed I’d be able to log into my account and buy tickets through that, but looks like a separate link is needed. Ugh… Go into your account prior to 10.00am there is a dmt+ members area that normally lists the current productions and it will update at10.00am with mj added etc..thats what normally happens anyway.

Possibly a daft question this, but if you've a complete tin ear for Shakespeare and never (despite many attempts) managed to develop any sort of interest in it, is it worth seeing this? Everything else sounds right up my street - love the cast, love the themes and it being a true story etc, but it may be a waste of time me trying if I've no interest at all in Shakespeare? I have a limited interest in Shakespeare (more because it's so hard to understand!) - I'd say limited in my case, rather than zero interest, and I loved this play. Me too!

On the recent trailer I noticed some lyric changes too... I’m almost certain that was the Broadway cast recording on the trailer, as they’ve been using that for other posts fair dos, kinda felt different somehow..

Also there last night (thank you Friday Rush) and actually thought this was 5 stars for me. It's so brilliantly theatrical, and a really interesting dramatisation of what that production must have been like. Thought Johnny Flynn was excellent, and really inhabited Burton well. Tuppence Middleton was good too, in a lot smaller role that I'd assume Taylor would play in this. Mark Gatiss giving a hugely moving performance though, which is one of my favourites I've seen an far in London this year. Would go again. Was completely absorbed for the whole running time. Great script, nice set, great acting. Couldn't say it better myself! Was at yesterday's matinee and its 5 stars from me ...I have no major love of Uncle Will either....
