Ah shame. I was hoping on R&H Cinderella. That was my first thought when I saw it!

Has anyone sat in any of the upper levels for this yet? How much of the screens can you see/how much do you miss if you can't see them properly? I've booked back row of the Grand Circle, and had planned to book there again to take some friends to see it! But I'm not seeing it until April, so won't be able to judge what might be missed! Any advice/heads up would be appreciated!

Thanks for this, I'm tempted to grab one for Grace's Juliet debut on the 27th.
Has anyone used a Time Out offer before and has any experiences to share? I know they're reputable, but what are the seats generally like?
This is not a bad shout actually! I never saw Grace in Six, and I am seeing the show on the 25th, but might go again to see her do the lead!

It's the same night as the Zorro concert at Cadogan Hall, could be a tough choice for some! Wait... it is? Damnit... I hadn't booked for that, but had planned to go... hmmm... choices choices!

I would totally be game for this! Discovered this show due to my love of SJB, so would be really interested to hear it in person, though I'm not sure how it would work in a concert format!

I looked at tickets just after 10 and there were loads, now each show looks the same, so it looks like a lot of tickets have been allocated out already! Might wait till a bit closer to the time to get tickets, with it being a slightly longer run!

With Rebecca being announced to be returning to City of Angels, and there is some time between these two, do you think it'll still be likely that she'll return with this as well? As previously mentioned, she’s in A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic which runs until 18th Jan, so she’d need to be leaving that early to be in Rags. Urgh completely missed that info! Sorry!

Has anyone spotted any offers for this yet? Really wanting to see this, but want to try and save some money where I can. Might just have to hold out until some start to appear! It does surprise me that CCT very rarely have tickets on TodayTix, as I remember getting great tickets for Titanic off there!

Best episode of UK Drag Race so far!
We got to see a different side to Bagga, who I think it was great to have some time away from The Vivienne, who I think had a thump back down to earth with her dropping the ball! If Cheryl's runway was better I think she would have been in line to win, but unfortunately it just wasn't drag enough for me!
Best team won, and agree with the bottom 2, though I'm sad her go, I believe she did manage to show so much!

Really pleased with this! I was hoping that the rumbling was true, as I missed the Donmar production, and all I heard was good about it! Fab to see so much of the old cast returning, with the added addition of Vanessa Williams!

Now I don't have to bother trying to get over to Dartford or Wimbledon to go see this! Great news, hopefully this nice short run will do it some good!

All the instagrams got deleted the day it was announced! Who knows! Sent them a Tweet asking and got no response. It seems it's dead in the water which is a shame. Do love me an OLC :-) Oh thats a shame, I was really looking forward to this! As much as I love the performers on the OBC, an updaed OLC would have been fab!

Has anyone sat in the balcony at the noel coward? I have looked at seat plan but its hard to see what kind of angle your looking at it from when the curtain is down. They have released a few seats up there for £27 in the next few months We've sat on the back row of the Grand Circle, which is currently priced at £35, and had a fab clear view of the stage when we went to see The Inheritance! So I've just booked some tickets for up there!

There might be a bit more flesh on display than expected. The REX have posted on Facebook saying that 12 huge bags of Gypsy costumes have been stolen from a van and appealing for help recovering them. Looks like it was the van itself that's been stolen, which includes the 12 bags of costumes! How heartbreaking for them!

She is a full replacement, so unless stated otherwise, I would expect her to be on, as she is now the main C.Parr Great thanks! I know they have alternates on a lot so wasn't sure if they release dates in advance, will book and hope she's on, thanks! The best way is to keep an eye on the alternates social media feeds. The old alternates used to post when they had scheduled dates for the next month, but that only started about half way through there runs. Its also good to check @westendcovers who are great at updating on a daily basis which covers/alternates/understudies have been announced to perform that day. So I would assume if your booking in advance, that you'll have the main 6 unless told otherwise

I basically think this is an excellent production of a good musical. Not knowing the plot, I was waiting for something more dramatic to happen - but I think I'm glad it didn't. It would have taken away from the tenderness and intimacy of the arcs of Tevye and Golde. Very pleased to have finally ticked this one off the list. Very similar thoughts to you on this one! I very much like to tick shows off the list, experience them at least once, so that I can form my own opinion on them rather then an informed opinion on other peoples views! We thought this was a great production, with some fantastic performances from all of the cast! We managed to get Rushed Tickets, so were down in the Stalls, which really immersed you in the action. I found the choreography really captivating at times, especially 'The Bottle' dance, but overall I really enjoyed the staging. I now don't need to see Fiddler again, but am glad that this is the production that was my first experience of it

One of the reasons I enjoy so much being part of Theatre Board is the way that a comment such as tbfl's and then mine on page 230, less than 24 hours ago, can start off such an interesting and worthwhile debate ! And unlike on some forums it's all kept so respectful and civillised !! Thoroughly agree with you! I've just had a great time reading through all of the responses to this conversation, and its great to see that I'm not alone in my thoughts on the show, but I also love reading the opposite side of that in how others see it! As its been said, theatre is so subjective, so we all have to understand were not all going to like everything, if we did nothing would close, and we wouldn't have the ever changing theatre industry we have!
