From what I hear- previews from November and opens in December. Mr. B...do you know when tickets go on sale? It seems they’d have to announce soon??

I tried to sign up for priority months ago but they said no other people could sign up. Is there a way I can still get a priority code?

Big yikes at them published audition photos...even if the auditionees consented, definitely not a good move

Where are the photos posted? Looks like they've been deleted now because of the backlash but they were on the official show instagram and then on What'sonstage I think

I thought that was odd to post audition photos. Most of the people featured wouldn’t have got the job.

All deleted. Bit of a faux pas.

Not entirely sure what happened, but I opened the link on a number of browsers, waiting for 10am - and one of them went straight through to the booking page. Booked side of front row on a saturday night for £95. I didn’t get a chance to look at prices properly, but I think centre front row was £190, which was a little too much...

Anyone knows pricing for this based on the pre-sale? I've booked the side of the front-row of the second preview for £95. Centre of the front row is £190. Most central seats in the stalls are £145, side stalls £95. Only seats less than £95 in the entire stalls are the rear two rows which are £59.50. Royal Circle is all £95 or £145 excluding the back row which is £75. Grand Circle is £75 front and centre, £59.50 to the sides and centrally further back, the last few rows get progressively cheaper down to £29.50 at the very back. All of the above are prices for the second preview.

All of the above are prices for the second preview. I just booked for a Tuesday in December, and that was a bit cheaper. Central stalls seats were £135 and side stalls £89.50 If you've got an Amex card, check your Amex Offers as I currently have a 5% off everything from ATG, which has confirmed as being processed on my Moulin Rouge purchase.

I think it is expensive but I guess they don’t have as many seats as NYC and you can see where all the moneys spent.
Also how often do massive shows like this open here? This isn’t some rubbish like The Prince of Egypt.
I’ve booked the first Saturday and CANNOT WAIT.

Damn, should have paid with Amex.
I've booked for a Sat matinee in Feb, the £59.50 rear stalls.
If this is what West End pricing is going to be like from now on then I don't think I'll be going very much, post-pandemic. I've missed theatre a lot, but my once-a-week habit was only possible by keeping my average ticket price around £35, and if this kind of pricing holds that would easily double. And I'm honestly out of that habit now.
I know obviously that producers are going to be looking to make up for lost income, but there comes a point when you price the audience out, and £300 on a single night out for a couple before travel, drinks and food is crazy. That's on par with seeing a big music act at the O2.

Rather cheeky but does anyone have the pre-sale link I could nick?

Booked front row royal circle and know that I will see every penny of my money being spent up on stage. So for me totally worth it !

I wish someone could explain or simplify the booking process though. Had the requisite "code" - opened two browsers and at 10am was 9000 and something on one and 12000 something on another! I then logged on to my ATG account and got straight through, bypassing all queues and booked for my preferred date. I'm content, but it's pretty unfair to others.

That's on par with seeing a big music act at the O2. Without wanting to start a fire, why shouldn’t it cost the same as seeing a big music act at the O2? There are many more people involved with a lot of upfront costs to get it off the ground. The money will be visible on stage. Fair enough when you are paying £90 for ‘Heathers’ cardboard fold up set you’d have every right to feel cheated, but not for a visual spectacle which this will be.
