We saw the show when it was in the (very large) tent by the High Line, and when it played on Broadway with Josh Groban. I much prefeered Dave Malloy's more straight forward Pierre and the more immersive tent production, even though they'd tried hard to adapt the Imperial Theatre to involve the audience. I enjoy the sparser off Broadway recording to the Groban one. The (pretty luxurious) tent production looks like it was a lot bigger than the original Ars Nova production. From the brief on line video clips of the original AN production I reckon it's maybe just a bit larger than the Donamr. I suspect (hope!) it'll be most akin to the original production.

I am so excited for this rumour!! Loved Great Comet on Broadway and would be so excited to see it again and see what they do with it.

Purposely saw this in Seoul, South Korea when I travelled there last month cause I thought it would never ever come to London. Very glad to here this rumours. I think it could fit any theatre as long as they manage on stage seats appropriately.

Can anyone confirm if I’ve got this right? lol |

I liked that the closed thread had the full title of the show.

Sheader specifically acknowledges the Ars Nova production as an inspiration in the WhatsOnStage article but they would've made a big fuss about an immersive staging in the press release if that was the plan, so I'm assuming the space won't be changed.
I would've loved to have seen something closer to the original, but I completely adored his production of La Cage at Regents last summer so I'm remaining cautiously optimistic.

I think re tickets, everyone will be fine.
We were told (repeatedly and definitively) on this forum that Next To Normal at the Donmar was gonna sell out in 5 mins, but tickets were available for weeks, maybe months.
