”A Little Life” starring James Norton releases on-stage seating for West End and Richmond runs

As the cast of A Little Life begin rehearsals today, producers have announced that they will release on-stage seating across both the Richmond Theatre (14 to 18 March) and Harold Pinter Theatre (25 March to 18 June) runs.

The first batch of tickets (for performances from 14 March to 30 April) will go on sale on 6 February at midday. The remainder (through to 18 June) will be released at noon on 4 April.

In addition, producers have revealed that a special charity gala performance will be held on 30 March to benefit the mental health charity Mind.

Hanya Yanagihara has adapted her seminal novel for the stage alongside Koen Tachelet and Ivo van Hove (who also directs). This English language premiere follows a Dutch-language production run in Edinburgh last August. That iteration was awarded the full five stars by WhatsOnStage.
