I was on their website the other day; wish there was further information about the performance schedule, but they said they'd release details soon.

Will there be 8pm starts like they tend to do there for example? 

Can't say I know anything about this show but keen to book when general onsale happens.

I think they have now changed to 7.30pm

Thank goodness!

If anyone has access and can see, is the staging in the more traditional sense like for “Twiggy” or more in the round like “Third Man”?

[mattnyc]

Was curious about the setup so I emailed the box office. If anyone’s interested, they responded with -

“The staging will be more like The Third Man with the audiences either side of the stage on 2 sides only.”

I think its called Traverse?
If so it will be the same as they had for Roadshow and Assissins

Had a look at prices and quite a steep jump from Third Man and Twiggy to this. £30 previews to £39 and then tickets can price up to £59.50… almost as expensive as the Donmar. I’ll still buy a ticket but feeling rather disheartened by this. I loved the Menier for producing high quality shows in an intimate space for a fraction of West End prices but now margins are a lot tighter

I think PO will sell really well unlike Man where they couldn't even give it away. Babani can really pick a winner but also an absolute stinker.

I'm booked, but -- not for the first time -- the Menier made it hard work. As midnight turned, the website was not updated to include a booking link. You literally have to guess the URL, which turns out to be: book.menierchocolatefactory.com/tickets/series/pacific

[marob]

I just went on the website this morning and the booking link was right there. Nice for something to go on sale at a time when I’m not in work.

[ThereWillBeSun]

How restricted 🚫 is restricted? Prices vary so much in this venue and it’s so small.

[alece10]

Have booked for one of the previews. Only seen Pacific Overtures once which was at the Donmar and love the score.

[davtheat]

So this new Pacific Overtures is a co-production between Japan and the UK. Does that mean it will be translated for Japanese and English respectively? I don't know much about PO, but considering going for my first Sondheim show!

[apubleed]

I doubt it. It’s just that it was first produced in Japan and is being transferred (this specific production).

Full cast announcement and they confirmed it's the version of the show with the 2017 revisions

This has it's first preview on Saturday and the first week seems to be sold out. December seems to be selling well but then there seems to be lots of availability for the rest of the run. I am wanting to see this however price wise it does not work out for me. Do we think there may be offers for this and if so where would they be, TodayTix maybe ?

Menier is not usually great with offers unless something is selling abysmally, which is rarely the case of their musical revivals. If sales are dire after December they might pop up on TodayTix

First preview tonight!

Had an e mail from the Menier yesterday regarding my forthcoming visit but apart from the Pacific Overtures artwork there was nothing in the e mail so no idea what they were trying to tell me.
Anyone else had one?

[apubleed]

Same issue lol.

Same here. I'm not booked until the start of Feb, so was quite confused. Must have gone out to a good chunk of people if not everybody!

Same here - going Wednesday so assumed it was related to that, but it was blank. Very much hoping they will be selling posters with that artwork though….

[alece10]

I'm going next week so hopefully it's just a reminder and not about changes, cancellation of performance.

Same here. I got the same email.

I have made enquiries and have been assured that that they are selling posters at the venue.
