It's an artistic choice. Yes, dinner is served throughout the show, but there's a point to it. Here's an excerpt from The Guardian:

But as Beale raged, and us diners hung on his every word, slack-jawed, it became clear: we weren’t just occupying part of the set; we were the set. Network is about the TV audience’s appetite for the prurient, for the three-ring circus of manufactured news. And we on stage here at our tables are there to be that circus audience.

Kinda crazy that they sent the confirmation at 12:30am. they are working some weird hours over there"

In all likelihood, it was all automated and automatically triggered.

Thanks for posting the menu. More details about clothing and timing:

Yes, it's a gimmick to have audience members served a meal onstage. Food critic Jay Rayner discusses his Network dining experience:

I decided to do it, because, what the hell.

Are there any discount codes out for this? By a happy work coincidence, I'm in town Nov 17-18th and would love to catch this.

Extremely unlikely. I'm going to a preview performance on the 17th and when I checked back out of curiosity, there were six premium-priced seats available and that was it.

Hi, I have a seating question about this show at the Belasco. If I have a choice between side mezz row D 4 seats off the center aisle (D10), and side orch row J 3 seats from the side aisle (J21), which will give me a better view?

I would say Orch row J for this production, which appears to extend a bit into the audience at times.

I finally got the email with more details about on stage seating not listed on the Foodwork website:

- Due to the nature of this performance, no bags will be allowed at your seat. All items must be left at coat check upon and reclaimed following the performance. Coat check is included in the price of your ticket.

- Network runs approximately 2 hours with no intermission."

Thanks for that info MX. Guess I will have to call the box office because I'd like to know how secure the coat is secure before I leave my handbag, money and phone there.

Hopefully they'll allow a small wallet/wristlet and phone!

**edited to add: I've found IG pics with #NTFoodwork and they did allow phones on stage during the UK run.

Also on the UK website, "

• If you’d like to share your experience online then you can use the hashtag #NTFoodwork but we ask that you switch your phones off once the performance begins"

Has anyone heard anything about a rush or lottery? Considering it’s going to be a hot ticket, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t make anything available until they’re well into the run, but if anyone’s heard otherwise, I’d love to know.
