It's usually best not to think too much about the plot of Cursed Child and how many holes are in it, I find. Or you'd be left with little time in life to do much else.

Extremely true - it’s one of those shows where the spectacle of seeing it live outweighs the story. The one part internationally actually makes the plot holes worse and I think tips the weight just too far to even be salvageable.
Perhaps for another thread but I’m really hoping that the Stranger Things play manages to combine the stage craft with a strong story that holds up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

I've not seen this since it first opened so thought I might go again. Just seen the prices...jeeeeez.
£288 for some stalls seats!
The nose bleed balcony seats that I paid £15 for are now £55. Guess I'll just keep it in my memory instead of seeing it again lol!

Guess I'll just keep it in my memory instead of seeing it again lol! I revisited HPP in March and was in the dress circle. It was quite pricey and the effects were limited to the size of the Palace walls. My seat in the stalls was as well 6 years ago but the experience was amazing. Having seen the production in NYC in 2 parts, that was the total package. The theatre was rebuilt at $10 million and the effects were all around us, even in the mezzanine, painted into the walls. I miss some of the scenes and characters cut to bring the running time down for touring. My visit the London production should Daniel join in.

At the Palace when did they stop redecorating between the parts? I remember early on loads of panels were replaced, nothing at all different now except for a couple of projections. Was that a post covid change?

I was there last Wednesday and they still do the changes - projections in the auditorium, changed banners above the merch stands, and the 'alternative' merch on sale.

Is there any discount available for this? I just looked at the prices and they're high!

January / February dates closer to the time Ticketmaster usually run an offer with up to 50% off.
Not always useful for those that aren’t close to London but the show does dynamic price down in the days leading up to performances.

Worth trying the lottery on TodayTix too. I entered recently for the first time in years and won first time, might have just been very lucky or there might not be many entering these days

I entered recently for the first time in years and won first time, might have just been very lucky or there might not be many entering these days As I've never won and I've entered nearly every week (although not for shows I know I can't attend), I'll say that you were exceptionally lucky!

Lottery tickets are usually first 2 rows in the stalls. Sometimes you will get a seat in the Dress Circle.
