The only positive I can find about the pricing is there is overlap with the office Christmas party season which might mean mid-December options last a fraction longer.
If anyone hears, please post day/time confirmation of public booking ..

Great it is coming back. For no other reason because of the couple of times I saw it, I didn’t really know Bob Dylan music, but have enjoyed the cast recording since, so will be great to see this with fresh eyes. However I do remember in the second part I do remember a horrendous and unexpected loud gun shot. |

I really loved the Old Vic production whenever it was, and the cast recording is just so beautiful. I'm reluctant to see it again in case it isn't as good as my memories. I really really loved Sheila Atim and Shirley Henderson, and I'm not sure I want to see it without them.

I nearly didn't watch that but I'm glad I did. I think that's my favourite Dylan song and that was just beautiful.

I never saw the original OV production, but listening to the cast recording has peeked my interest in this production. I’m hoping for some offers to appear in the next few weeks for a Xmas viewing. |

Do we think this will do Dayseats? Did it at the Old Vic?

Do we think this will do Dayseats? Did it at the Old Vic? I’ve got my fingers crossed they will or Today Tix will do rush tickets. I’m after a ticket for either the 23rd or 27th dec performances. Current prices are outside my budget at the moment. |

Current prices are outside my budget at the moment. I'm eyeing up the £15 slip seat in the Grand Circle. But if they do dayseats at £15-20, I'd rather sit in the front row of the stalls (which doesn't seem to be on sale) |

There was lots of dynamic pricing happening last time. I got a dress circle seat for £15. Not sure it will go as low as that this time but I’m sure there will be some options

Still no news on dayseats?
Checked rush this morning and they offered Row T in the stalls for £25... meh.
Edit: They made the front row in stalls available for £22.50 for tonight, not for other performances. Some sort of online dayseats?

Finished just before 22.10 tonight when everyone rushed to switch their phone on.
Front row view is good - eye level with stage height for me at 5’ 10”. Not sure you could be much closer as most of solo singing done from edge of stage. I can see one of the mic stands landing in the audience at some point during the run. As for the show, they have made quite a few tweaks from previous run. Katie Brayben a good choice to play Elizabeth Laine and she does her own spell binding version of Like a Rolling Stone. For a 4th preview this was definitely up and running.

I would like to buy tickets for this but my friend is only 5'1" tall. Does anyone have any experience of the front row of the dress circle please, eg are there lights or safety rail in way of small people? I've looked at @theatremonkey fab website but I'm still undecided! Thanks

I'd go a row back just to be safe. Thanks @theatremonkey! Do you think that is a better option than the side boxes? |

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but it turns out the official ticketing website are releasing front row seats for £22.50 !! I was agonizing yesterday over choosing a rush seat in center stalls row H, VS a stall box and then refreshed the ticketing map and saw a wonderful stream of light blue in the front row. Hope that helps someone! For the record, I thought it was a solid production but I will say I liked it less than I thought I would given all the commotion around it. I was only already familiar with perhaps 4 of the Bob Dylan songs in the musical, but I didn't mind that as I enjoyed virtually all of the songs except one. The main problem for me was that I didn't exactly connect enough with any of the characters. The closest I got was the mother. They are all very skilled performers, and she was particularly great - but I couldn't really suspend disbelief as she (Katie Brayben) seemed WAY too young to be the mother of that son! All in all, a solid evening though and definitely good value for money for those front row tickets.  |

I guess these are day seats which they put online if they are not sold in person? At the moment they are on sale for today but not for later dates. Most of the row is on sale today so if this is the case, not much of a day seat queue!

Yes they must be day seats. Every day they pop up around 11-12ish . I will pop out next week and get some to save the £2.50.
How is front row?

Keeping an eye on the DMT seating plan, I was going to try and day seat for next Monday’s matinee, but by the looks of it, there has been plenty of availability of the £22.50 front stalls tickets over the last few days. The cheap tix could still be bought when I checked at 4.30pm this afternoon. Saves me getting up early to queue up at the box office early Monday morning and freezing to death.

I caught this yesterday afternoon and was surprised to find myself enjoying it even more than when I first saw it at the Old Vic. I actually slightly preferred this cast - there are some great people in it, such as Finbar Lynch and Katie Brayben.
We (my daughter and I) were in Box A, and I can thoroughly recommend it for the experience. It cost us £32.50 per seat (£30 each plus restoration etc fees, I think) though on some dates it seems to be a bit more expensive...
As noted by Theatremonkey, there are two moveable seats, so you can position them for the best view, and there's lots of legroom and space to dump bags and coats etc. You're literally right next to the stage, above the stalls but slightly below the level of the dress circle. We could pretty much see people in the stalls looking up and saying who are they/how much did they pay to sit there etc, and it was hard to resist giving them a regal wave...
We looked across at Box C and Theatremonkey is right - there's a fixed bench in there, so I don't think it would be as good.
Box A is restricted view, so you do miss some action on the left as you're looking at the stage, but it's so fun to be in a box, and I loved being so close to the actors without having to crane my neck up. You get there via a funny little door, then you go into a weird little ante-room, where some random bloke was sitting as we left, and then there's the door to the box - it's really surreal!
Anyway, at that price it would make a great treat for a birthday/anniversary etc.

Caught today’s matinee.
Day Seat Report - Arrived at the theatre at 8.55am with only 2 people already waiting. By 10am, there where 5 of us waiting for tickets. I was offered stalls A13 for £20. (Feel free to use this in your reader reports @theatremonkey ) A great seat.
When I arrived at the theatre at 1.45pm, the box office manager seemed to be upgrading a few people from what I could overhear. The stalls where not sold out at the matinee performance.
As for the production itself, while I didn’t think the book was that great (I felt leaving at the end the subject of Depression era America and its impacts on society has been dealt with far more effectively in other plays such as Grapes of Wrath and Mice and Men with far more emotional impact), where it did win for me was with the cast. An absolutely fantastic cast with great vocals in singing those great Bob Dylan songs. Katie Brayben’s rendition of “Like a Rolling Stone” being a particular highlight. Though the use of the songs in this production did at times seemed a bit of a weird choice. Some of them seemed to come from nowhere in relation to their placement in the plot and I couldn’t see how they moved the plot or character development forward rather than being an organic part of the production in helping to tell the story.
The OCR will definitely be getting bought.

Please help. I am starting to worry about my attention span, but seeing this last night I can't recall hearing the title song? It's listed in the programme, for after the interval, and one of my favourite Dylan songs, but?  ? Thought it was an entertaining mess. Too much plot meant much 'soap' like dialogue but I came away intrigued and may return. I often complain that plays have 'too many words' ( )and this was certainly enlivened by some great singing and interesting choices of songs. |

It's listed in the programme, for after the interval, and one of my favourite Dylan songs, but? ? I have the textbook of the play and there's a line, during the longer dialogue between Perry and Marianne at Thanksgiving that says: "Out in the kitchen a girl sings "Girl from the North Country", other guests harmonizing"So I guess if you were waiting for it to be performed properly ON stage, you would have missed it. It's a pity that it gets lost, because sounds so gorgeous on the cast recording and is actually my favourite song on that. I'll try and look out for it when I see the show next week. |
