What about Andy Nyman? He was in Assassins at the Menier so he's worked for them before. Have you got next week’s lottery numbers please? |

Oh I see you are trying to be clever, by trying to belittle me and suggest I went on Google, by your link.
That is 100% ingenious and wish I thought of using Google, my life may have just been a bit more fulfilled. I can see that university education was absolutely well spent and imagine you went to one of the sh*tty ones.

As replies go, I’d put that in the top 76%. You certainly sound fulfilled, even if your tenses are a little confused. Andy Nyman is a great actor, having trained at GSMD and acted in a lot of movies. |

Phantom's absurdly snarky reply is a mini-classic. Anyway, Andy Nyman is hugely talented and a much better choice than I was fearing from His Trev-ness, whose casting choices of late have been pretty dispiriting. I wonder who will play Golde? Too bad they can't get Patti LuPone to head across town as Yente!

My money is on Tracey Ann Oberman for Golde.

Too bad they can't get Patti LuPone to head across town as Yente! I see over 200 stage productions a year, so see thousands of actors a year and have seen tens of thousands in my life, so don’t remember everyone unfortunately, normally remember the good ones though. I did Google Andy Nyman and in stage terms he hasn’t done anything, I did see him in Assassins at the Mernier and I thought the musical was average and other actors were more memorable such as Jamie Parker, Michael Xavier and Carly Bawden and not forgetting Aaron Tveit who was magnificent. |

Anyway, personally I thought he was fantastic in Assassins and I think he'll make a brilliant Tevye. And he can grow a great beard. Gutted I won't be able to see it! |

Where do you reckon the door is? I'm assuming top left of the seating chart as you look at it

Andy Nyman had a lovely little scene in Wanderlust last night and played it very nicely.

He was in Hangmen too. Another play I loved his little part in.
I'll definitely be seeing this now. This casting has worked on me!

First we had TM with his flap, and now we've got Steve with his little part!
I wonder what's next?

I’m curious about the 2 seemingly missing seats in the bottom section. Have booked in the row behind them - seems an odd place for an aisle, with no access to it?

It is not unknown at the Menier for those gaps to be filled - and additional seats to appear - once a show begins previews. 'Funny Girl' sold out in about ten minutes when tickets went on sale, but once it was in previews they quietly released a handful of additional seats for each performance - most of them slightly restricted-view seats at the extreme sides (how do I know this? I bought one, having missed out because I was busy the morning tickets went on public sale). It's possible they think the view from that location will be less than optimal, but they'll put seats there later if demand warrants it.

Just seemed odd that they are in the centre of a block, surrounded by premium priced tickets, so would be strange if they didn’t offer a good view for some reason.

Eek. This one is expensive. I think I’ll sit it out as Trev does not make me excited

Gosh if you lot are all boycotting this, just who is buying all the Tickets? Had to go to mid Feb to get 3 seats at a weekend Matinee. Doesn’t leave a lot of time to revisit when I predictably fall in love with this all over again. (PS for the kids reading this. If you don’t know much about Fiddler on the Roof, I’d just say it has a legitimate claim to be one of the top 5 Musicals of all time. Hugely entertaining and tragic all at once. And it’s not as ifTrevor Nunn has never hit it out of the park with a musical. So don’t be put off by all the negativity on this thread. Go see for yourselves. “Old Man Snow”.  ) |

Mr Snow I agree with you about Fidler but I found his take on Night Music to be very lame ... and what about Gone with the wind ?!
