Problems? WTF? It’s the most perfect piece of theatre you could ever hope to see.
Alarm bells rang for me when they decided to use 4 poster designs.,.. who’s stupid idea was that? Any moron knows that for a big show like this to get noticed, it needs to have clear branding. ONE clear brand.

At the first preview, I was sitting the orchestra and had a great v
