I was thinking the same thing about seating. Have two pairs of tickets for this Saturday (bought a pair, then received a pair as a gift); one is center mezzanine row D, the other is orchestra row H, seats 2 and 4. Any suggestions on which to keep and which to try and sell?

Hope to see this production. Saw a screening of the original. I fell in love with the "Incidental" music and purchased it online.

That music is available online!?

To put into words just how exquisite this is would be difficult. This is easily the most exciting production of a play I've ever seen in my life. I didn't want it to end.

Alex Sharp is breathtaking and magnificent and his performance (along with the story of how he got here) will certainly go down in the history books.

I look forward to seeing this again and again and again in the coming months. Extraordinary, beautiful theatre. And astonishing to think this was only the second preview....

And for those asking, I was in Row D of Rear Mezzanine. I was worried about hearing as I have some problems with that, especially in that theatre. But I heard every syllable beautifully. The view was also quite stunning. A friend in the orchestra alerted me to some better seats at intermission and I happily moved down. I enjoyed getting both view-points, though.

This is definitely one to see from the front mezzanine.

Did anyone stay after the curtain call to see if Christopher came back and did the monologue? I waited a bit but it didn't seem as if anything else would happen...

I waited for a few minutes as well but he didn't come out. I wonder if maybe after opening they'll start doing it? When I saw the screening I thought it was a really fun way to cap off the show.

Can't wait to hear the music again. Why didn't it transfer?

I stayed after the curtain call as well, since it's my favorite scene in the play -- especially with the incidental theme music -- but nothing happened. Then the ushers started asking us to make our way to the exits.

I'll definitely be going back to see this though, hopefully the scene is back in the show by then.

And to echo someone's earlier post, the partial obstruction in the rush box seats barely affected my enjoyment of the evening.

TamsBway, I got to the theatre at around 11:30 this morning to get rush tickets.

Why did we think there was a monologue after the curtain call?

SPOILER (kind of)

Near the end of the play, Christopher is taking his math A-level exam and he begins talking about a math problem he loved solving. His teacher, Siobhan, tells him no one going to see a play wants to hear about how a math problem is solved. But she tells him maybe after curtain call he can come back out after everyone who wants to leave has left and tell the remaining audience members how he solved the problem. In the screening of the National production, Christopher comes out and does just that and it has a pretty big finish.

It's just a fun moment.

Where can I find this music?

[RippedMan]

Interesting. I wonder if that was always part of the show or something just special for the screening? Seems like a cool thing to add, honestly.

[iluvtheatertrash]

It's not just for the screening. I know about it not because I've seen it (I didn't), but because it's in the script. And from what I understand, was performed that way in London.

Can anyone ask an usher about it when they go? Maybe they'll start soon...

It really isn't very pretty though when listening to it alone.

I'm guessing that they were concentrating on the meat of the show, and will end up putting the final monologue in during previews, when they have the time to make ure its up to snuff.

Cant wait to see this. Its really shaping up to be a great autumn!

the post scene is being added. I talked to one of the producers afterwards and they just didn't have time before the first preview to add.

Oh, I had the first rush ticket and it was the stage right box seats -- saw pretty much everything including a stellar view of all the projections. And cast member did come into our box to do scene. The box had a platform in it for the performer to stand on.

I hate plays/musicals with disabled people succeeding their disability without havint to make sarcarifces does not happen in real life so why should it happen in a play? I have a job and do uni but I think I had to make many scarifices. I am disabled BTW

Has anyone sat in the $27 seats in the rear mezz? How's the view?

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 9/12/14 at 7:33am

I had a $27 seat and I thought the view was perfect. Great way to see the show.

I noticed that the front row (BB?) is regular priced ($129) for performances when we'll next be in NYC, but the second row (A) is special priced at $197. Any reason not to sit in the front row like a high stage or certain effects?

Oh. I note a comment about Sharp having an "alternate". Does that mean that's probably whom I'll be seeing at a Wed. matinee -- November 5?
