Is this going to be immersive like their Guy's and Dolls? This isn't clear...

No. Tickets are on sale and you can see the seat map. It will be proscenium.

They don't specifically do or prop up immersive work at the bridge, they just happened to have a hit with an immersive musical.

While their main focus isn't exclusively "immersive", many of their productions -- even before Guys and Dolls -- were immersive. It's even on their website:
"The Bridge is its first home, a 900-seat adaptable auditorium designed to answer the needs of contemporary audiences and theatre-makers and is capable of responding to shows with different formats (end-stage, thrust-stage and promenade)."
It was purpose built with that flexibility in mind.

But God I’d love to see it

The Director was involved in the Cabaret revival (and same set designer), and also the Oklahoma! revival...so I'm guessing there will be a certain darkness an abstractness to the take, which I look forward to.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I am not saying this to be a troll. I really believe it.

That's like suggesting that all the opera houses of the world should skip Verdi or Mozart for a year.

Since taking a tour of Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre I’ve been harbouring a wish to see a production of Into The Woods amongst all that splendour. But since discovering the Murtoa Stick Shed after moving to Melbourne I think an immersive production below those beams would be a designer’s dream.

I cannot miss this. A little sad that the Bath production is dead. Can anyone recommend the best time to try to travel to London (from the US) in Feb-April of next year while this is still running? Excited for the staging.
