Person of the second Tom, 27, likewise had F1 champion, 39, coming along to enjoy his critically- praised show.

Anya, 28, a star of Furiosa, looked extraordinary when she was pictured leaving the Duke of York Theatre with her father, More singer.

For the trip, he donned a black jacket, a cotton shirt, and rockstar jeans.

As he was led out wearing a gray jumper, a dark jacket, and a muted jeans, Lewis was wearing a somewhat subdued ensemble in contrast to his usual wacky looks.

But Tom was all but blind as he emerged, waving his arms in the air, while holding a cup of tea in his right side.

Shifting from his Hollywood style to a Hackney-inspired opera. He wore a pouch man bag and a buttoned-up cotton jacket with clothes.

Tom, the hero Tom, is a sight that thousands of viewers have been catching while watching him perform in the new show on Martin’s Lane.

Crowds were informed earlier this month that there would be “no autographs or selfies” with the movie star as he made his way through the venue’s stage entrance.

However, Tom has remained a standing and waving fan all day to allow social media to access the crucial photos and images.

In February more than 60, 000 intense supporters, including TC, scrambled to get tickets for Holland’s West End work. In two days, tickets were sold out.

Some people compared Taylor Swift’s Eras journey, which sold 4.35 million tickets across 60 tour dates and brought in $1.04 billion.

Tickets for Romeo and Juliet are currently available for selling for around £300 each.

Spider- Guy was never going to have little trouble scaling the walls of the Capulets ¿ mansion in Verona to achieve Juliet’s ledge in Shakespeare’s love history.

But in the celebration, Jamie Lloyd’s boldly dirgeful output, which opened in the West End next day, just requires him to reach the giddy heights of a camera stand.

Indeed, this brand-new Romeo & Juliet production is a prime example of Lloyd star minimalism, following in James McAvoy’s footsteps in Cyrano and Sunset Boulevard.

As usual, that means a work on the microphones in the funds for a creation that is occasionally only breathed into the replication system.

As usual, that means a run on mics in the capital for a production that is whispered ¿ and sometimes merely breathed ¿ into the amplification system

Gone is the light of fair Verona, where Shakespeare lays his image.

Instead, Soutra Gilmour’s stage design is rendered in Stygian darkness, complete with lighting rigs, a gigantic cinematic billboard, and close-ups of the action as cameramen track actors on stage, and around the building itself ( Romeo’s banishment to Mantua makes him climb onto the roof ).

With a solid dressed in black clothes, T-shirts, and hoodies, Lloyd makes the most of the play’s famed obsession with death. It’s tone, black and mannered. If you took the production’s signal, you might be tempted to call a preacher.

Sometimes, it also seems as though Lloyd is purposefully attempting to cut the life out of the fiery passion that usually drives this passionate love story. And yet, cometh the hour, cometh the ( Spider ) man… all 5ft 8ins of him.

Crap, he’s a buff and excellent- looking man. His dominating cheeks and curving jaws draw our attention in his dreamlike gaze and keep us captivated.

Instead, we get the Stygian darkness of Soutra Gilmour¿s stage design ¿ empty but for lighting rigs and a giant cinematic billboard relaying close-ups of the action as cameramen track actors on stage, and around the building itself (Romeo¿s banishment to Mantua takes him up on to the roof)
It¿s monotone, monochrome and mannered. If you took the production¿s pulse, you might be tempted to call a priest
Sometimes, it even feels as if Lloyd is deliberately trying to throttle the life out of the febrile passion that normally drives this headlong love story. Pictured: Daniel Quinn-Toye stars as Paris

I missed the colour of the masked ball where Romeo and Juliet meet, and the drama of the sword fight when Romeo calamitously kills Juliet¿s cousin Tybalt

After meeting Juliet, he jigs like a football player as he moves with the efficiency of a feline but does it like a football player is celebrating a purpose. And despite his best efforts to maintain its stillness, the quiet glances he scatters on his partner are, in Hollywood words, worth a million dollars. In the conditions, Francesca Amewudah- Streams holds off well as Juliet.

She has a quiet sophistication that easily fits with the writing, despite Lloyd’s advice to her not to display too many personality or independent spirit ( as he does everyone ).

Michael Balogun, who plays Friar Lawrence, similarly asserts eloquence and good impression on the less-than-rash young lovers. The one shock is Freema Agyeman as Juliet’s young Caregiver.

Usually ample, ageing and cantankerous, Nurse is below a 30- anything party girl with attitude. Many of her wittering in the Bard’s classic is cut, and otherwise she gets lines from Juliet’s mom, who is dubiously abandoned altogether.

I missed the episode of the swordfight when Romeo fatally kills Juliet’s cousin Friend and the color of the veiled game where Romeo and Juliet meet.

However, if Hollywood gets their way, we might not be able to see Holland play live on stage again. But happy are they who already have tickets for this intriguing but nearly sold-out requiem. And happier for those who can purchase a pop price of £275.
