I think where you sit may affect your experience. For me, whenever I watch plays I have learned i'ts worth it to sit either in front mezz or the front side/center orchestra. It's simply a different experience and seeing facial expressions (especially in dramatic plays) certainly changes the experience for me.
I have yet to see the Ferryman but I've seen Torch Song twice (sat front row orch and front mezz) on Broadway and each time I got very emotional. I plan to see Ferryma
Where did you see it the first time? I'll be in London later this week (unexpected trip) and nabbed a 15 pound restricted view ticket in the grand circle. I'll be back in London in December and got a 2nd row ticket with friends. I figured I'll concentrate more on their singing voices when I see it later this week on my own and then concentrate on more the facial expressions/acting/set when I see it again in December with friends!
Kudos for you for remembering. I also saw last year (but had never herad of the play nor seen any scenes before) and the only thing I remember was how emotional I got in the 3rd act (2nd act in this version).
I also hope to see this play again when Claybourne Elder and/or Will Blum perform.
I saw the show from front row so no complaints on leg room at all. I'll admit I felt a bit too close at times but by no means is that a complaint! I loved it!!! I'd see it from front row again especially after hearing all the reports on legroom in the other seats.
I felt there were 2 stages. The main stage isn't that high but then the apt floor itself is another 'stage' or mini level that is in the same level as the top of my head.
If it transfers to Broadway, I definitely see a cast recording happening. Is it normally common to have a West End cast recording and a Broadway cast recording of the same revival production?
I thought Mean Girls only has a rush on Wednesdays (where you have to wear an article of clothing in pink). Mean Girls does have an in-person lottery at every performance though.

Plus the E train tends to be local on Sundays. I think the fastest way is to go to penn station and take LIRR and then the air train. I agree with others that it would be a gamble.
I just noticed on the West End website that they're selling tix until March 30th. Does anyone know whether Lupone will still be there next spring or if she's only in the production until end of December.
It's the same thing as far as I can tell, it just doesn't say "Playbill" on the spine. For that, I cut off the tops of Playbills people don't want and tape the logo nea
As I always say... it's only worth whatever price a customer is willing to pay. Who knows... 50 years from now that book may be worth a lot more than $60!
I saw this show last night and what an evening of theatre! It started at 8:05pm or so and ended roughly around 11pm so expect to be there for 3 hours.
Michael Urie and Mercedes Ruehl were FANTASTIC! To me, they were the stars of the show. Their comedic timing was flawless. I'll admit before watching the show I thought Michael Urie was too 'goodlooking' to be cast as Arnold. It doesn't matter. It's how he delivers as Arnold that's more important. <
SonofRobbieJ said: "I find it a little odd criticizing the play about exploring the world of white, gay affluence when it's being seen through the prism of a queer playwright of color."
I felt Lopez borrowed a lot of ideas/themes/plot of this play from EM Forster, who was a closeted white queer author.
As for a NYC transfer, I'm more curious whether they'll transfer the same cast or if they'll change it up a bit.
What did you think? I ended up going this morning since my friend had an extra ticket and she invited me last minute.
I didn't realize there was going to be a show (friend invited me to go because she knew I love food and will eat..... and that I enjoy watching Bway!)
The standout performances for me was seeing Alyssa Fox (Elsa understudy) perform "Let it Go" from Frozen and watching the Band from the Band's Visit perform. Alyssa was AMAZING!!! Wow!&
Do you know what her favorite musicals/plays/movies are? There are a lot of love quotes out there but it would help knowing which ones are her favorites.
Yeah I didn't understand where the name Eric Glass came from either. It seems that Matthew Lopez (the playwright) chose to keep Henry Wilcox and Leo's names the same as their counterparts in Forster's Howards End.
Not all the characters in the play had disposable incomes and as a New Yorker for over 10 years now, I've friends who always seem to be broke and also have friends who always have an endless amount of $$$ in their bank account. Regardless of one'
