With all that talk about who should play Margo Channing, I never even considered Gillian Anderson and I think it's a fantastic choice.

I admit to having a gay guy crush on Miss Cate Blanchett.  So, I was more than disappointed when she withdrew from this project.  There went probably my only opportunity to see her perform on stage.  But, now I am looking forward to a London trip to see Gillian Anderson and Lily James, two very talented actors.

I'll never forgive Blanchett for The Present...

The Present was truly just awful. 

Does this overlap with the Patti Lupone Company? Cause that'd be reason enough for me to make the trip.

Company is scheduled to close in December and this is starting in February, so it doesn't look like it.

Bought my tickets to this for April! I’m so excited. It’ll be my first trip to London in 10 years. I’m sure it will transfer to New York, but I don’t want to chance missing it.

After a frustrating slow start on Delfont McIntosh website I got a stalls 4th row seat for 70 pounds about 90 dollars. Amazing.

West End newbie here. I'm a New Yorker but will be in London in February. How likely do you think it is that cheap tickets will be available for this on the day of the show; does every show offer day seats?

You can expect £20-30 day seats and yes, the show will most likely have those kind of tickets.

So I just learned why Cate Blanchett withdrew from ALL ABOUT EVE — the highly anticipated Aaron Sorkin scripted LUCY & DESI biopic just began production, alas quietly with no press announcement. A friend of mine just joined the production and had to sign a secrecy release so he can’t say anything aside from her name and the film title. He says it’s a huge film and the rest of the cast is insane.  He can’t go into details but he did say he saw Cate in her Lucille Ball get-up.

Very curious how this source might serve a Van Hove-- style reexamination (if that's the intent), but very curious and excited.

James seems an inspired choice for Eve.  Anderson might be fantastic.  She has a great look for Margo.  I can see her splendidly making Margo her own while still judiciously projecting the required dramatic indulgences.  

In my ridiculously starstruck dreams, they'd be joined by Ann Dowd as Birdie, Audra McDonald as Karen and Benedict Cumberbatch as Addison.

COMPANY extended to end of March 2019 so yes it would overlap!
