This will be a real loss for the west end. Possibly the best show we have at the moment.

One of the best atmospheres in a theatre, and one of the best audience reactions I've ever seen was the reopening night at Come From Away after Covid. I'm booking for the 7th January final show now.

This is sad news indeed. One of my favorite shows currently in the West End and the first show I went back to see when theatres reopened. It's had a great run though compared to many other shows. Agree it would work well on tour so hope there is a future life for it.

Terrible shame its going, knowing our luck it'll be replaced with some woke remodeled revival of something that was taken off the west end years ago. 🙄

Have you managed to get tickets for Jan? Their website’s only showing me three dates in Dec and nothing for Nov or Jan at the mo. Edit: Whats on stage website has them, if anyone else is in the same boat!

Yeah the official website doesn't seem to show dates that far but ATG has them up until closing date as well. All booked now.

Booked for the final show as well, back of the circle, it’s going to be a special night.

The combined run was over 2 and a half years, that’s a very good run and it’ll have a life on tour

I’ve also booked for closing night on ATG, they have updated availability now. Atmosphere should be great. I’ve seen it 3 times in NYC, twice with OBC and once for Rachel Tucker’s first show right before shutdown, so I’m excited to see it in London finally.

On the ATG site there’s already limited availability for the final show at high prices! Would love to be there though, I’ve seen it ten times since June 2019!

This will be a real loss for the west end. Possibly the best show we have at the moment. No "probably" about it, it absolutely is the best show in the West End at the minute. I've seen it 6 times and it still has the same emotional impact. Gutted it is closing and I have booked for closing night - Upper Circle. No doubt I will be back before then as well.

I’ve also booked closing night. What a loss for the West End but they should be super proud of the run they’ve had in some really challenging circumstances.
Either this tours, or if it’s licensed it’s going to be one of those shows produced for years to come by professional and amateur companies.

Managed to get a cheeky row K stalls seat for the last night at a not completely ridiculous price. Good luck if you're buying - it'll be incredible and emotional.

Booked front of the dress circle for opening night, but absolutely gutted this is closing. I'd love to see it go on tour.

Booked at well. Limited tickets left but showing as green availability for all other dates, which I guess is why it is closing. Will be such a good atmosphere.

Right, I’m booked! In the grand circle for more than I’ve ever paid to sit up there, but I couldn’t not be there!

One seat Row D grand circle 57.50 left. The rest are all £79 - £150. Now gone! They’ve just released some good stalls and dress circle ones but at £125 or £150. I hate ATG at times 😠

I couldn't make closing night anyway but are there any other special shows I could go to? Cast change or anything? I was at reopening night and the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I definitely want one more trip.

I definitely want one more trip. I was at both of those too! Your best bet may be to look at the 1,000th show - I think it was the What’s On Stage article that said the final performance will be number 1,048 so you could work back from Jan 7th. Only problem is they may add extra shows into the Christmas schedule but perhaps worth a look.

I really hope this tours. It’s been one of the few WE things I’ve been interested in seeing and I’m kicking myself that I chose the mediocre Frozen over this when I was last down for a weekend. I worry that the great word of mouth might not stretch to the regions though. I think it would need a LOT of promotion.
