+1 For Faust.
Saw it last Friday having got tickets from the half price ticket booth on Leicester Square (good tip).
The way Gilliam managed to interleave so many eclectic elements of the background (German Romanticism, the Enlightenment, the rise of Hitler), without losing his thread, and while still managing to keep the message vivid was impressive. Also some fantastic performances from the cast, which you wouldn't necessarily back a film director to elicit.
Spectacular show, especially in contrast to the last thing I saw there (Lucrezia Borgia), which was terrible.
