Performances started last night at the Almeida. 
Was able to snag a return ticket for later this month. Anyone else going?

Really hoping for a West End Transfer. Those  Almeida runs are way too short.

Anything will be an improvement over the Benedict Andrews production, which couldn't even be saved by a surprisingly great Sienna Miller and Jack O'Connell's dong.

There will be some West End theatres open next year. My prediction is either the Garrick or Duke of York's. Because the whole run sold out in less than an hour, I’d say they need a larger venue due to the high demand. I tried numerous times to get a ticket but no luck. If you wanna see it at the Almeida, constantly check their online returns as you may never know. One popped up for December 28 and I grabbed that so quickly! It’s definitely one of the hottest tickets right now. That and Producers.

They did open a few tickets yesterday. I quit when I saw I was 1500 in the virtual queue.

Does look good for a transfer.

I loved that production and Sienna Miller's performance... and Jack O'Connell's dong. Of the four filmed versions that are easily available, it's my favorite.
