Extended until 3rd June so now a 15 week run. Good for them - I'd love to see this!

I wouldn't be surprised if those extra weeks were built in as there was a big gap between Shirley closing and The Pillowman opening..

Booked as my Friday night visit for a March 23 weekend of WE theatre (1st one in 3 years!). £25 for rear stalls.

I booked as soon as this went on sale, £20 rear stalls during previews seemed a bargain considering the same seat is MUCH more for Mother Goose. So excited to see Sheridan back on stage for the first time since Joseph, I’ll always be a massive fan whatever she does.

It's a great song! And if memory serves me correctly, both this song and Pauline Collins were nominated or Oscars.
In fact the score for the movie- all of the Greek underscoring, etc was by both Will Russell and George Hatzinassios.
I have the soundtrack.

It would be bizarre to have it sung at the end of the play though. Come on.

Just saw an instagram posting earlier, of her in the rehearsal room with the director (Matthew Dunster) and Willy Russell himself.

Song from the film. I didn't remember it at all... Thanks for posting a link. This is a song that was written by the glorious Marvin Hamlisch with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. I never suggested that there be a band on stage. I imagine the power of Sheridan's voice asking the audience to join in acapela will bring the evening to a heightened level of ecstasy.

We're starting to get into fantasy land territory.

She should sing it at the beginning, that’s when the opening credits were!

David Pugh must be paying the ‘National Treasure’ a fortune the way he is constantly putting up his prices up non premium after press night is now a whopping £138.50!!
that the Dynamic Pricing at play - ATG are buggers for it and the rest of the theatre industry seems to be getting wise and following suit.
As usual it's the consumer who comes off worst....

There was a play at the NT maybe it was called The Kitchen? Fully functioning restaurant kitchen on stage. It was ‘Network’, starring Bryan Cranston at the Lyttleton Theatre, in 2017/18. Director was Ivo Van Hove. Tickets to sit on stage were ballotted - luckily we got two tickets and a meal onstage. It was excellent! “The play also features a live onstage television studio and an onstage restaurant titled Foodwork, where audience members can enjoy a three-course meal while watching the play”.

I did this too - it was fantastic!

That's a different play. This was called "The Kitchen" and was at the NT in 2011.

I don't know if there always were but there are £7.50 standing tickets on sale now. Never stood in this theatre myself but might interest someone.

No one on here seen this yet? I was wondering the same. Sure Sheridan will be great in this. Have a great time.

I've seen some reports on a FB fan page and people who have seen it loved it. But, of course, these are fans so probably a bit of a biased view. I'm sure she is excellent I it, the play seems right up her street and can't wait to hear what board members think. I'm not going until towards the end of the run.

I had friends who went to the first show and said it's like it was written for her...
She's a terrific actress first and foremost, so I can't wait to see it.
