Having lead this morning's Olivier Awards nominations with eight, fresh off a completely sold-out run at the National and having just transferred to another West End theatre (much like WAR HORSE and GUV'NORS before it...), it looks like the kind of big, fat, spectacular (and family-friendly) hit the National should have no trouble selling over here in the States. Based on the videos online, it looks like a tremendous production, and I would love to see it over here next season. (Apologies for sounding like promotional copy, I just re-read that over, but damn it I'm excited about this production.)
Did anyone catch it on NT Live when it screened, or even seen it over there (lucky plucks)?
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I saw the NT Live screening. I wouldn't say it's a big fat hit. It was more of an interesting experiment. A bit obscure, a bit schticky, VERY heady. Is it a feel good show? Tries to be but it's somewhat distancing.

Posted: 3/26/13 at 12:25pmI absolutely detested the novel, and I would have no interest whatsoever in seeing it brought to the stage.

Posted: 3/26/13 at 8:20pmI saw the NT Live screening and I loved it. Yes it had a few periods that slugged, but mostly it shined. That said, I honestly don't know if the show could work here. I know a bunch of people that loved the book and were excited to hear it was a play, but to pay Broadway prices for it? That's the question.

Posted: 3/26/13 at 8:20pmI literally know nothing about this, but more than one person I've spoken to has said that the London production is absolutely amazing.
