there aren't too many i feel

I don't have much to add except... WOW. Icke's version is still my favorite, but this was seriously INCREDIBLE. Simon Stone is a genius.

Has anyone caught Dad Don't Read This at the Greenwich House Theater? I'm curious what people thought

I feel like not enough people are talking about Tramell Tillman playing William Metzger. He was absolutely incredible in Severance, and I genuinely can't wait to see what he does with this role.

I know Sadie Sink is rumoured to be in Secret Wars, but did everyone miss this part of her interview?

“Sink’s time as a temporary Londoner will soon come to an end too. ‘It’s felt like such a chapter, being in London and really feeling like I’ve made a home for myself here,’ she says. Once Romeo & Juliet ’s run concludes in a few short weeks, she’ll pack up her things — and her felines — and head back to New York.”

If she were filming Secret Wars in the UK anytime soon, it's interesting that the interview says she's heading back to New York right after the play wraps.

Quick trip to London, saw a few shows in the West End, and thought I'd share a quick thought on Romeo and Juliet.

It's pretty much what you'd expect from Robert Icke: some very bold creative decisions that might not sit well with Shakespeare purists (for example, there's no lengthy prologue at the beginning). Overall, though, I thought it was a fantastic and incredibly engaging production. It runs about 2 hours and 25 minutes, but I genuinely never felt time passing,and that's saying something for Shakespeare.

Performance-wise and production-wise, it's much stronger than the last star-led Romeo + Juliet we got on Broadway. Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe are both very good. Sink, in particular, carries a large portion of the emotional weight of the production, and I thought her work in Act 2 was terrific: very commanding on stage with a very emotionally layered Juliet. Jupe takes a more restrained approach, leaning into the beauty of Shakespeare's verse,he may be less flashy, but he's still effective.

A thoroughly worthwhile production and one of the more engaging Shakespeare revivals I've seen in a while.

Incredible production ,I wasn't expecting to enjoy it quite this much, but Icke really is a master.

The entire cast was fantastic. Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe were both outstanding, bringing real depth and chemistry to Romeo and Juliet.

This is the 15th Romeo and Juliet I've seen, and Sadie Sink's Juliet is the best I've encountered, alongside Francesca Annis in the wonderful 1976 production.

Kasper Hilton-Hille is an absolute revelation as Mercutio, charismatic, funny, and heartbreaking in equal measure. Clare Perkins is a wonderful Nurse, full of warmth, humour, and humanity.

A brilliant production from start to finish.

I can’t find the other post about this topic, but is there some kind of epidemic of disrespect/craziness at the West End lately? I just stumbled across a video of Sadie Sink after yesterday's show trying to get into her car with her FAMILY from another exit, and people were literally crowding and calling after her while a huge group gathered around.

She’s clearly not been doing stage door, so why are people harassing her at another exit instead? I’m pretty sure a lot of these people aren’t regular theatre-goers, but it’s honestly disgusting to see this kind of behaviour becoming normalised in the West End.

do we think sadie sink is going to be included in the press tour?

Caught Dracula earlier this week and honestly, it was a big letdown. I left feeling like I’d been ripped off. Hard to believe it’s been running this long and Cynthia Erivo still seems unsettled in the role—everything felt rushed, lines fired off at breakneck speed. It didn’t come across as performance so much as recitation. And those clunky pauses while waiting for the video cues completely drained the already thin tension.
