I'm interested in King Charles III, but know little about it.  Did anyone here see the London production?  Is it worth seeing when I come back to NY in October?

There's a pre-sale going on at Audience Rewards, and I don't know if I should jump on it, or wait for the tickets to go to the public.  Think this will be a hard show to get into this fall?

Thanks in advance for any info.

It's a "future" history play (i.e. what happens when Charles becomes King), and has gotten rave reviews in London, also winning the Olivier award for best New Play. 

Also, More Casting has been annouced.

Being a limited run, I suspect it'll be a popular ticket.  If the premise interests you at all, I would grab tickets while they're still at decent prices and there is availability.

This is at the Music Box Theatre and they're selling tickets in the last two rows of the mezzanine for $37.  Can anyone tell me if these seats provide a decent view?  I've been in that mezzanine before but never that far back.  Thanks in advance.

I've been to the Music Box countless times at this point, seats varying from very front row to the very last row and I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience there. I can't speak for this specific production, but that seems like a very fair price for seats up there.

I read the play and found it thrilling.  I just bought my tickets for the first preview.  I can't wait for this one.

I saw Pippin once in the orchestra and once in the 3rd to last row in the mezzanine, and honestly, the orchestra was so much better. Although its a smallish theatre, I wouldn't sit back there again, especially for a play. I can't wait for King Charles III though!! I LOVE plays like this!

Saw Pippin there from last row upstairs and it was fine. This play however evokes one word from me    YAWN

 first of all, we can't see your video. secondly, did you even see King Charles III?

"First of all, we can't see your video."

Then use your brains and your initiative to source and to see it via another route - try to think of this as a puzzle to be solved.

"Did you even see King Charles III?"

Yes. My more detailed opinion is in the other thread with the same title. Your second clue to the puzzle lies therein.
