After Jackson's superb performance on screen in the pitch-black Prisoners, I'm excited to see him take on what sounds like another dark role.

I did not think much of JERUSALEM, so I will see this (and pay top dollar, I imagine) even though I am not excited about the play itself. If I want to see a Pinter play, I see something by Pinter.

What you read in the NY Post is true. Not sure exactly when, but I'm really excited. A great team for The River... Can't wait to tread the boards again!!! #TheRiver #thegreatwhiteway

This was the show where tickets only went on sale the day of the performance, no? You couldn't buy in advance.

I lined up for about an hour and couldn't get in. Of course it was playing the upstairs theatre at the Royal Court, which is tiiiiiiiny.

I guess Dominic West wouldn't draw that big a crowd in New York, but in London he's catnip!

Haven't seen Jackman onstage since OKLAHOMA! so I'm looking forward to it!

Incorrect. I saw The River at the Royal Court with Dominic West and I bought the ticket on line four weeks before I arrived in London. The play was about 90 minutes long. The theatre had bench seating and we were really squeezed in on a first come system. No reserved seats in other words.

Did you just hear the yelp of jubilation from Queens? I'm SO there.

I think someone else is being cleverly catty at the moment. ;-)

I thought that was mamaleh!

And, yes, that's great, but with the ticket situation he generates, I, unfortunately won't be so there (and I'd love to see the play).

I did reverberate---but the sound ricocheted from New Jersey.
