Am actually contemplating giving it a miss this year. The queuing and crowds are crazy!

I think I'm too old for the long standing & queues now.

Same here. Stopped going as I can no longer stand all day. I used to get invites to the seated area but don't get them anymore. I will have to stick to watching the videos online. I was clearing out some old videos on my laptop at the weekend and found a video of a performance when it used to be held in Leicester Square. How things have changed.

I guess it was because of the close proximity of the half-priced ticket booth.

Dates clash with Taylor Swift at Wembley. Good luck finding affordable accommodation if you're travelling down.

How early do people queue for this? What time should I be arriving to actually get in?

I suppose it is technically a dance show, but I always find it funny that they have Magic Mike Live appear at this every year. I’m certainly not averse to a bit of eye candy but there’s something so awkward about them getting their kit off in the middle of Trafalgar Square.

Reports on this board last year had people queuing up at 4 a.m. I don't know when doors open, but the Square was at capacity pretty quickly, I believe. Also, existing shows would be the first to be presented as the actors need to get back to their theatres for the Saturday and Sunday matinees. Last year's thread: West End Live 2023 Comments

On the second day, expect a wait for an hour or two. Second day is usually all the newer musicals and smaller shows. On the first day, good luck. That's all the big shows.
