Mmmh we confirmed this yesterday dear in the general thread

Good for you, dear.

Too much to book for 2025! Not sure how I’ll fit it all in!

[Being Alive]

I don't think this'll sell out instantly - I'll be a repeat visitor but no need to pre-book I don't think.

[normasturban]

Yes perhaps I’m underestimating the Sondheim fans but this is a reasonable length run in a sizeable theatre with some famous theatre names but hardly A-listers. I think this will sell decently but hardly spectacularly.

[westendcub]

Brilliant, must go see this!

[unseaworthy]

I wonder if they will try and fix the problems with act 2

[blamerobots]

That'd be up to David Ives

I'm hoping for cuts to the second half.

[blamerobots]

Hopefully this will be filmed, which I guess is why it would go to the NT which has the capability to easily do that.

It is. There's 2 or 3 performaces in the schedule marked as being filmed.

[jaggy]

Having the “filmed” label doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll become available to the public.

Pretty much all National productions are filmed for archival purposes. Some of those recordings do end up on their streaming site or get screenings.

Though, there have been strong rumours that this recording will become available. So fingers crossed!

[merylstreep]

Is there any chance that Jane Krakowski is still attached to this?

[Marwood]

Is that it casting wise? Bit of a drop from Bobby Cannavale, David Hyde Pierce and Jeremy Shamos (for starters): sorry but I’ve seen this at The Shed and not tempted to see it again going by this announcement 🤣

[marob]

Yeah, I’m a little disappointed that only Denis O’Hare is coming over with it. Will see it regardless, but still…

[blamerobots]

If anyone was coming over, it was going to be Denis O'Hare considering the Waiter's Song was the one song that got popular with the show, and of course, he's an absolute devilish delight.

I did also like Rory Kinnear in the National's Threepenny Opera so am glad he's in this as well. He needs to sing more.

[singingbird]

So pleased! Not a surprise, but wonderful news anyway!

They haven’t announced the full cast yet.
More are expected to come over from the US

While I managed to get £20 seats for Alterations, I see that, for Here We Are, they're up to £30.

I checked a couple of random dates for this and London Road and plenty of availability at the moment. Not sure if it will be the same next week for general sale.

[blamerobots]

Currently in a 1500 strong queue

[mrnutz]

I think I got very lucky as I was 25 in the queue and have booked for this and London Road.

[jek]

This queue seems to be moving very slowly. I was assigned around 1400 at 10 am and am only down to 1100 now.

Well, if you're an NT member with pre-sale going for a show you're guaranteed to book a ticket compared to general sale when people balk or decide against it the last minute

[blamerobots]

Utter mayhem, was booking my tickets then got kicked out back to the queue!!! I had only been on the page around 5 minutes.

[jek]

Finally got in and booked. But it did seem slower than usual.
