Tom Holland Will Star in ROMEO & JULIET in London's West End — Page 2

Comparing to Broadway prices, it wasn’t bad. Front dress circle for £125 and if this were on Broadway there’s no way a front mezz seat would be less than $250

I suspect you’ll see the same kind of fervor here in the states, if (when?) this transfers, as has been rumored - especially if it’s a limited run (though selfishly, I wish we’d get Holland in a musical).

By comparison, front row at Little Shop is going for over $300 with Darren and Evan.

On a related note, I know the front row can be a little problematic at some West End theatres - I think the Pinter is particularly bad - how is it at Duke of York's?

I have not been in the Duke of Yorks yet, but I have been in some of the older West End Theatres like the neighboring Garrick Theatre, and unless you're tall, sitting close to the stage from the stalls might not be a good idea. The Duke of Yorks Theatre looks pretty intimate from the circle so those will probably be the best.

The stalls for this production has Rows AA and BB before beginning at A again. The pricing structure for rows AA-C were the same when I was purchasing my tickets, as well, so you could slide back as far as the fifth row at the same price (at least when I was looking).

Tom Holland’s Romeo Finds His Juliet In Brit Newcomer Francesca Amewudah-Rivers

"Also starring in the anticipated Jamie Lloyd-directed show will be Freema Agyeman (Nurse), Michael Balogun (Friar), Tomiwa Edun (Capulet), Mia Jerome (Montague), Daniel Quinn-Toye (Paris), Ray Sesay (Tybalt), Nima Taleghani (Benvolio), Joshua-Alexander Williams (Mercutio) and Callum Heinrich and Kody Mortimer (Camera Operators)."

Jamie Lloyd has released a statement condemning the racist backlash against Francesca Amewudah-Rivers' casting as Juliet.

I'm thrilled Francesca will be Juliet! I got to see her perform last summer in African Mean Girls Play during my London trip and thought she was great.

The online abuse/harrasment hopefully will stop. If any of the theatergoers wish to get a refund, I actually hope they'll honor a refund so they can resell the ticket to people who would love to see the play with Francesca in it.

Freema Agyeman as the Nurse is fantastic casting! She’ll be amazing

Kind of assumed, no? It’ll sell out in 5 seconds here too.

Easy to assume, tougher to make a reality considering Holland's schedule.

Plenty of other high-profile things have not moved to Broadway (Cumberbatch Hamlet, Blanchett or Anderson's Streetcar, etc) despite rumors that they would.

Maybe they'll REALLY make tickets tough to get and put it at the Shed or the Armory.

Patiently awaiting Tom Holland and Tom Hollander to do a two-hander.

Gypsy on Broadway this fall starring Audra. I heard about this many months ago, even before the nypost broke the news.
