The Score LON LondonTheatre

Following its successful run at Theatre Royal Bath, *The Score*, a tale about Johann Sebastian Bach and Frederick II, comes to Theatre Royal Haymarket starring multi-award-winning actor Brian Cox (*Succession*). 

Spring 1747, Potsdam, Prussia. Johann Sebastian Bach reluctantly visits the court of Frederick II, Europe’s most ambitious and dangerous leader. The two men could hardly be more different. Bach is deeply religious, Frederick is an atheist. Bach loathes war, Frederick revels in it. Bach studies scripture, Frederick reads military history. Frederick remains in awe of Bach’s genius however and has mischievously prepared a musical conundrum that he hopes will baffle the composer and amuse his court. The explosive events of the following days could not have been predicted by either man.

All Ages. Babes in arms are allowed for this production, babes under 12 months sitting on an adult’s lap do not need a ticket. All other patrons do need a ticket for entry.

The Theatre Royal Haymarket opened in 1821. It's affectionally known at first as the “little theatre in the Hay”. In 1873, the theatre was home to the first matinee performance, showing a West End production in the afternoon.

In the 21st century, shows at the Theatre Royal Haymarket have attracted West End stars and global talent.

## Theatre Royal Haymarket Seating Information

The auditorium has four levels - Stalls, Royal Circle, Upper Circle and Gallery.

The seating in the Stalls is very good, particularly as the overhang of the Dress Circle only really affects the view from Row V onwards. 

The Royal Circle offers an excellent view of the stage – the overhang of the Upper Circle doesn’t affect the view from any seat.

Seats in the Upper Circle curve towards the stage at the sides, and do not offer great legroom but views are pretty good for the price on offer.

The Gallery feels far from the stage.

Theatre Royal Haymarket - London Theatre

The Theatre Royal Haymarket is a prestigious venue in London's West End, known for its history, classical style, and world-class performances.

Born in 1946 in Dundee, Brian Cox is a two-time Olivier Award-winning actor. Cox will play James Tyrone in a West End revival of Eugene O’Neill’s *Long Day’s Journey Into Night*.

Growing up, Cox showed a keen interest in the arts, and eventually joined Dundee Repertory Theatre as a teenager — Alan Cumming and Joanna Lumley are also Dundee Rep alumni. Cox later auditioned for the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), graduating in 1965.

He made his West End debut in 1967, playing Orlando in Shakespeare’s *As You Like It* at the Vaudeville Theatre. Following this, Cox started a long relationship with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre: shows include *Julius Caesar, Herod, The Putney Debates* and *The Taming of the Shrew*. 

In the 1980s, Cox won two acting Olivier Awards for *Rat in the Skull* (1984) and *Titus Andronicus* (1988). For both those years, Cox was up against his own performance in the same category; he received a further two nominations for *Misalliance* (1984), and *Fashion* (1988).

In recent years, Cox’s West End credits include *Rock ‘n’ Roll* at the Royal Court Theatre, and *The Weir* at the Donmar Warehouse. In a [four-star review of *The Weir*](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/the-weir-2014), our critic said: “Cox has a crumpled authority that is spellbinding to watch. They are a beautiful ensemble in a beautiful, bracing play. It is a slow-burner of an evening, but it produces a lasting flame.” 

Cox is a regular on the Broadway stage too. He made his Broadway debut in a 1985 revival of Eugene O’Neill’s *Strange Interlude*. He’s also played the Coach in *That Championship Season,* and Lyndon B. Johnson in the 2019 play, *The Great Society.*

As well as a busy career on stage, Cox’s television and film career is similarly lengthy. Cox’s notable credits include *Manhunter, Braveheart, The Bourne Identity, Troy, Zodiac, Rise of the Planet of the Apes*, and *Churchill*. He’s also played Hermann Göring in *Nuremberg* to Emmy-winning acclaim, and also stars as Logan Roy in *Succession*. 

Cox will return to the West End to play James Tyrone in *Long Day’s Journey Into Night.*

Ages 12+. Everyone must have their own ticket to enter the theatre. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by and sat next to a ticketholder who is at least 18 years old. Children under the age of 4 will not be admitted.
