Does anyone know what the running time was in London?

The program for the London production (which I still have; thank goodness I'm a hoarder) says the running time was 2-1/2 hours, including a 20-minute interval.

Cool. Thanks. 

I work at the Belasco on Wed nights, and I was afraid it was going to be another Wolf Hall. 

Great show, but I was always like a zombie at my day job.

I have a ticketing question.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that they are going to have onstage seating for the production (a la Twelfth Night and A View From the Bridge.). I've been checking online to see if they've been offered for sale yet, and no stage seating options are listed.

Can anyone recall how close to the start of the run of TN and AVFTB they started to make the onstage seats available?

Thanks.

From what I remember they only went on sale a few days before previews began.  This Playbill article seems to confirm that:

When I get home I'll try to find my ticket from 12th Night as I remember buying it at the box office the day the stage seats went on sale, to see if I can decipher a purchase date.

@frongs_fan85 - Many thanks for this. Very much appreciated.
