This was a preview performance, and I bought my own ticket. I was sitting in the upper circle with a partially restricted view.

Finally a post from someone who actually watched the play and who can comment on more than the aesthetics of the leads👍
I’ve got box tickets to see this in June. I don’t like Romeo & Juliet either, I hated the play when I studied it at English GCSE. However, there’s something about the creative genius of Jamie Lloyd and William Shakespeare combined that intrigues me about this. I think a modern feel might actually be a good move and be well suited for this play. Plus, I’m excited to see Francesca Amewudah-Rivers play Juliet.
I love the modern take Jamie did and having Tom as Romeo is perfect

Me too.
I've seen it yesterday and went like most people cause of Tom Holland and I went in fully expecting that it would end up something I'd say about "oh well I've seen it now but wasn't as great" but I was so wrong! I absolutely loved it and I usually can't stand romeo and juliet, it's by far my least favourite Shakespeare, i think that was the first production of romeo and juliet that really spoke to me
I would love to see this production as my son really enjoyed R&J in his GCSE English Lit but West End tickets are so expensive now
Huh... Always thought everybody just bought the tickets for tom Holland that's why it broke a world record and sold out in 2 Hours

Tom holland is not for me at all but I bought a ticket because Jamie Lloyd and Shakespeare.
Was the audience problematic, did they go crazy when Tom was on stage, as I'm dreading being taken out of the moment each time he is?

Not at all. Great atmosphere in the build-up, and you could hear a pin drop most of the time during the performance. It was a wonderful audience to be part of.

Really glad you enjoyed it. I am a big fan of the play so would have liked to have seen this version - perhaps they may film it for the future.

@@loureviews It would make sense if they did, given the appetite for it.
For me the classic 90's still the best.
