We are there in mid-June and have booked People Places & Things with Denise Gough (spouse saw it back in its original London run), Next to Normal and Two Strangers.
Will try to work Standing on Sky's Edge in. Also may try for Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder
One of these trips I'm going to see Witness for the Prosecution.
There also is Spirited Away at the Coliseum. It is in Japanese. It's supposed to be excellent. But the prices are, for London, a bi
Prelude to a Kiss also was presented at Berkeley Rep with Mary Louise Parker and Sydney Walker in fall 1988 - I think it may have been a joint production with South Coast Rep who premiered it in January 1988. The Rep's version was later in 1988 and may have been the revised version that went to Broadway. Parker was Rita at Berkeley Rep and then on Broadway. Sydney Walker played the Old Man in the film version.
I wouldn't say that Putin is shown to be "misunderstood" or a person to be pitied, based on what I saw in London. He is not sympathetic. But, I also just think he is underwritten. Putin's "change" really seemed, to me, to come out of nowhere. Now, this is Berezovsky's view, so perhaps understandable. Both Putin and Berezosky claim to be "patriots" - who only love Russia - all the while profiting from their supposed "love". So

Early reports claim it's a disaster."
Well, one poster on theatreboard used that word. Others were mystified, confused, incredulous. I got sort of the same feeling that I had reading the first impressions of Spider-Man that were posted here.

Theatremonkey says the first row is great value for those "willing to accept neck ache". Reader comments (admittedly a self selected group) didn't find the high stage too much of a problem (except for a production that jutted out).
I"m more amazed that there are three filmed versions of Stop the World - I Want to Get Off.
I tried to watch the 1966 B/W version - I really tried. Did not know of the later two (Sammy Davis, jr. 1978 TV version and and a 1996 TV version) until I looked up the show on Wikipedia.

D'Amboise as Zidler? (More likely her spouse, Terrence Mann, who would be terrific. Is he done with filming Foundation? Is he really 72?)
It's tough to beat the inflatable Cats set for "I guess this isn't Broadway" - and I do wonder if that set ever deflated during a performance. I mean - it had to happen at least once.
