I suspect that given the production design, centre seats are not necessarily that much better. I saw JULIUS CAESAR from the "first balcony" (i.e. South Bank street level) but on the side and the perspective was great. GUYS AND DOLLS I saw from the floor (for £30?) and although I did better than I expected, I still had to retreat to the foyer during the show to rest my aching back for 5 minutes or so, but there was basically an open door policy for people to come and go from the floor. And I was made to feel less old by a gaggle of teenage boys who were complaining of aching backs as well.
The Bridge is a terrific space in a breathtaking location. Hytner's magic touch followed him down the South Bank! I'm a little sad that GUYS AND DOLLS will be tying up the space for the foreseeable future, but I'm glad that it is proving to be a hit and whatever a theatre can do to fill its coffers in these parlous times is to be encouraged.
I wish I'd liked A LITTLE LIFE as much as you did. I went for the wrong reasons- because it was the toughest ticket in London when I was there in April- so I felt karmically punished for wanting to be hip LOL. I thought that the sight of James Norton in his altogether might be worth the cost but even that proved to be a transitory thrill :).
Have a great visit! |
