Some of the press releases said tickets would go on sale 4pm Friday 11th August, and the Phoenix tweeted saying general booking is open Monday 14th at 10am, however I just booked £15 front row seats through ATG, so presuming either there is a glitch or booking has opened early (I'm not an ATG card holder)

I thought it was always meant to be public booking today at 3pm. I've grabbed myself what seems to be front row as a Hallowe'en treat. £15 is a reasonable enough price, and even if it's a little disappointing, it's still always nice to see something from the horror genre pop up on stage.

Hmmm Metro, Evening Standard etc all say on sale 4pm Friday
I agree - you can't really go wrong for £15. I am wondering why the front row is quite so cheap as the view from there at the Phoenix isn't that bad - is it going to be in a splash zone for the green vomit scene?

Front (and second) row seats for £10-£15 is standard practice at the Rep.

Got myself a £15 front stalls ticket for the Friday of the weekend prior to Halloween - thought it was a quite a bargain until I read the comments above about vomit No mention of the cast - do we think it's likely to be Bowles and Seagrove again, or maybe someone a bit higher profile (nothing against Peter Bowles, I met him after a NT Platform a few years ago and found him to be thoroughly decent chap, while I know next to nothing about Jenny Seagrove beyond her being Michael Winners, ahem, friend for years)?

They were both good, though Bowles' part is somewhat smaller. You needn't worry about vomit.

And she's now been Bill Kenwright's 'friend' for even longer.

I'm personally hoping for some family friendly re-writes. There. Much better.

A friend just worked with Bowles and said he is going to be in this

A friend just worked with Bowles and said he is going to be in this Peter Bowles and Sean Matthias attended the opening night of Evita at the Phoenix so I'd be surprised if PB wasn't in it. And I'll be amazed if Jenny Seagrove isn't in it!

I've booked for this and am looking forward to an evening of schlocky entertainment! It sounds like the basis of a very effective production was in place in Birmingham last year but that it needed to ditch the interval and tighten a few things up. Hopefully they will do that.
It's a bit of a shame they didn't retain the poster art from Birmingham which was really eerie. The West End artwork is fine but Regan looks about 35!

Every single date I randomly click says the front row is unavailable how are you guys getting the £15 tickets front row? Is it a special online deal thing? Or has the front row already sold out?

Same here, I went for second row for £15 - unless I have Pazazu sitting in front of me wearing a top hat I'm happy enough with that.

Seriously I clicked on a random day in Feb that wasn't weekend or Friday and the best I got was row A stall for £25. I can't find any £15 tickets at all. I feel so confused.

I believe someone has said previously on this thread that the £15 front row tickets are only during previews, after press night the front row goes up to £25

My desire to be nowhere near this play and my desire to be very near Adam Garcia at any opportunity are currently in direct competition.
(No disrespect to what may well be a great piece of theatre, I'm just a first-class scaredy cat is all)

I watched it in Birmingham, it was pretty atmospheric but not especially scary. Generally I'd recommend it as worth watching. I would've even considered watching it again in London if they'd got rid of Bowles, seen better acting from a a Billy bookcase.

Full house and very clever use of sound and lighting to create spooky atmosphere. FX were amazing, sit at the front!!

Anyone here thinking of going to see this when it comes to London? I think it has its first previews next week.

Yeah, I'm going at the end of the month. I'm keeping my expectations low, but it is nice to see the horror genre represented on the stage.

I'm going to go. I saw the poster in the underground earlier this week and Adam Garcia looks particularly DILFy on it.
What's the play about?
