Very intrigued by the ‘big star’ !! This follows Sondheim into the Gielgud so I hear. Delfont website says it's coming Autumn 24 - so I'd be surprised if it was after Sondheim... but i wonder what the other two big shows are!

Bryan Cranston?

My thoughts exactly!!! There were reports months ago that he’s eyeing to return on stage, preferably a musical (Spamalot revival on Broadway comes to mind as the casting of Sir Lancelot is still not announced)…I think he’s down for anything, whether a musical or drama. Plus he’s also active in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes so his screen projects are on hold.

"a huge film and stage star" - doesn't fit Cranston. He's a huge TV and stage star but I don't think you could call him a film star. Also, who knows if they're doing any gender swapping.

For some reason my mind is jumping to Sam Rockwell.

Kevin Spacey would be good casting for it. Unlikely, I know.
It's one of those films that I thought was great at the time but which I'm not sure has aged well - bit like the Ealing comedies.

Not a chance with Spacey Cranston could work. The 'major film star' is s bit of hype. Mark rylance also comes to mind

There is absolutely no way it will be Spacey. Bryan Cranston is brilliant of course- but he’s been on stage quite a bit in recent years.
I’m hoping it’s someone that we haven’t seen in stage here before- a genuine Hollywood star.

Oooh now I'm even more interested! Love him. He could easily play multiple roles if they go down that route.

I'm sure Steve Coogan will be very good in this, but is it not a stretch calling him a stage star?

Is this another one actor play, or do we think there’s a supporting cast?

I'm sure Steve Coogan will be very good in this, but is it not a stretch calling him a stage star? he's sold out stadiums "performing" as Partridge, and I guess that's a character... on a stage...?

Maybe it's just me, or has the whole booking system crashed?

£177.50!!!!!! Good grief! Presume the £20 are the back row, possibly edges only, or standing?

Their website needs a bit of a proof read. On the mobile version anyway. Noel Coward's Theatre?! drstrangelove.com/

Maybe I’ll regret it but my days of booking things well over a year in advance are over: I’ll look at availability next summer and take it from there.

FOMO's a curse! Went for two at £84.75 each on Thurday 17 October evening, which is the last performance before the Band A price goes up to £89.75 and stays at that for all subsequent performances on any day of the week (at least currently before dynamic pricing has anything to do with it). The previous Friday/Saturday are also at that higher price.

I booked for Monday 14th October but didn't compare prices/dates as had enough trouble just getting the website to work.

Wasn't being pedantic, just trying to understand the pricing.. but imagine a doctorate is required to fully grasp that.
