For any poor theatre lovers like me, they have added more £15 tickets at the back.

Hallelujah! Althought wasn't that announced a while back? Not bad. Wonder how popular it'll be though (very, I imagine).

It's not sold out by quite a long way at the mo. Well over 1000 seats now they added those other rows. Guess when it opens the wider public will get in on the action (though not the £15 front row MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)

not the £15 front row MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) Eugh, so annoyed I missed out on those. Wonder how shocking row ZK will be... although for £15 I really can't complain. |

Such was my disgust at completely missing the front row I still haven't booked a seat, I'll probably relentlessly put in for the lottery. I need like an emergency alarm system for when tickets are going on sale for things.

 The theatre for this is next to the Donmar temporary theatre Massive bar area and (I reckon) not enough loos are shared by both shows  |

I had a peak the other night when I went to The Railway Children. The bar area looks horrible and cold. Also not good if the toilet situation is bad. Shame when the bar/toilets for In The Heights/Railway Children is so right!

Re the loos - the gents has 2 cubicles and maybe 10 urinals. There was a queue out the door of the ladies before the Donmar show, so presumably will be worse when both shows are running
Doesn't seem adequate for 2 sizeable theatres although I guess the fact none of the shows have intervals will help (although perhaps not as 2 hours straight through implies last minute pee just in case) Also maybe the start times are staggered?
Having said all that - the entrance is right next to Kings Cross Station (unlike the Railway Children theatre) so could always use the facilities there

EP played Life on Mars from this this afternoon. I felt completely underwhelmed by the thin orchestration and the 15 year old girl singing it.  |

Honestly, that girl is the only thing about this show worth seeing. I was very underwhelmed by it in New York, but she was absolutely amazing and saved it from being a complete waste of a theatre slot for me.

A couple of front row tickets just popped up for the date I was booked for so I rang the box office and they swapped them just like that. Lovely box office man on the phone btw.
No idea why front row is so cheap (high stage I'm guessing, but we obviously have no pics from inside the theatre yet) but anything is likely to be better than row ZK where we were before. At least I won't have to pack opera glasses anymore!

I'm beyond shocked that I was unable to realize that this Lazarus was the off-Bway production that Bowie/Walsh did in NY.
Michael C. Hall, best tv actor of his generation, is reprising his role, DAMN.
Also shocked that the good tickets are either £95 or £75!!!
If there's any sale, please let me know! Otherwise I will have to buy a V row for £55 as I already paid too much for King Lear and Dreamgirls (and I wanna try HPotter's tickets)

There are still lots of £15 tickets left for a lot of dates and some £35 seats have just been put on near the front too. Don't pay £95! |

And I couldn't find £35 seats near the front, they are all basically in row Z or more than this, are they online too? |

Yeah but you have to search hard over a couple of dates. £15 are the back few rows and front row. I think the £35 ones near the front are off to one side, quite far over. Someone else can probably tell you more though tbh... Cast album was released yesterday. You can listen to the whole thing on the official David Bowie Vevo account on Youtube if anyone's interested |
