Why are there two parts?
Part One: Millennium Approaches was first performed in 1990 and was followed by Part Two: Perestroika in 1992.
In this new staging, Part One presents half of the story and you won’t get the full experience without seeing how it ends. Part Two picks up the story and characters, and may be hard to follow without having seen Part One.

What is a two-play day?
A two-play day is when Part One is played as a matinee followed by an evening performance of Part Two on the same day. On two-play days with a combined ticket you will have the same seat for both plays.

There will be a limit of two tickets per customer for Part One and two tickets per customer for Part Two. Or on two-play days you can buy a pair of combined tickets to see both Part One and Part Two on the same day.

When will I get my tickets?
If you choose to have your tickets posted, they will be sent out two to four weeks ahead of the performance. Otherwise, you can collect your tickets from the National Theatre Box Office on the day of the performance. Please note the credit or debit card that you used to purchase your ticket will be required as proof of purchase when collecting tickets. 

Can I buy my tickets from somewhere other than the National Theatre?
All tickets must be purchased directly from the National Theatre. The re-sale of tickets is strictly prohibited and we reserve the right to refuse admission to customers with tickets purchased on re-sale websites.

Can I return my tickets? Will I get a refund?
National Theatre tickets are non-refundable. We can, however, exchange the tickets for a credit voucher as long as we receive the tickets at least 24 hours before the performance (seven days for group bookings). There is an administration fee of £2 per ticket.
To return tickets, please contact the Box Office by completing our returns form online, or by calling 020 7452 3000. 

What if I've bought a ticket but am not the one attending?
If you bought tickets as a gift or can no longer go to the performance, we can transfer tickets to a friend or relative. However, there will be some security details that we need to check with you before we can do this – please contact the Box Office here and we will then contact you to verify your booking details.

Is the cast the same for both parts?
Yes – the cast is the same for both Part One and Part Two.

Can I get food and drink before, during or after the shows?
Food and drink can be found in restaurants, cafés and bars throughout the building, most with al-fresco seating overlooking the vibrant South Bank. A special Angels in America menu will be available to pre-book on two-play days in House and Terrace restaurants, so you can enjoy a meal in between shows or brunch before the performances begin. Find out more about Angels in America meal packages.
