Been nearly every year but now I don't think I could stand that long so regretfully giving it a miss from now on.

New Cast CD? Looks as if they are recording according to facebook? What gave you the impression? Could you provide a link, please? Can't find it now. It was film of orchestra & Rose & Alex in what looked like a recording studio, singing.

I should of mentioned the excellent "turn off your phone" announcement. The audience erupted into great laughter at the last mention.

I decided to see this as have only seen the touring version with David Essex as George. Not impressed. I've read the book too. The characters are unlikeable. I've managed to get an excellent mid 2nd row stalls ticket for £25 in the sale so going Thursday.

Well I could see everything from the knees up except for at the very end when Mrs Doubtfire was sitting down mid stage. - Then I could only see a head. Enjoyed show. Gabriel Vick was a revalation as I've never seen him before. Only the forgetable songs let it down.

Great 1st London show last night, as already said there was a major wardrobe malfunction (which a dancer shoved a safety pin in) until he could get off stage and 2 show stops. We were in the front row and I have NEVER sat in front of a stage so high, you miss half the stage, so much so you can only see his head in the 'reveal', and none of the changing during the restaurant scene. I know FR is always restricted view but this was a shocker, I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to take row A out like &Juliet, it's not sustainable and there will be a lot of complaints, I think. That aside, we had a great night and it's a good show in good shape, I will have to go back and see it again though so I can see the half of the stage I missed ;-) This is most concerning. I book front row stalls, and am on my own, for over 90% of the shows I see, and accept that can mean looking up to a high stage, reduced legroom, narrower seats (NT), conductor in front, even the occasional "spit" experience ! For me being right at the front usually makes up for any negatives - plus, as with Mrs Doubtfire, there is often a price advantage. However missing so much, including key moments, from a £60 seat is a restricted view too far and unacceptable. I'm booked front row early next month but with my partner and she is six inches shorter than me. I saw Mrs Doubtfire from the front in Manchester - no high stage there - and if I was going alone I wouldn't worry too much but I'm minded to contact the Shaftesbury with my concerns. The performance I've booked is almost sold out and there are no pairs of seats at the same price so have to willing to switch date. Is anybody else seeing Mrs Doubtfire from the front row in the next couple of weeks to offer a second opinion ? I'm going to the matinee on Wednesday in the middle of the front row. I'm only 5 Ft 2 ins. You've got me worried now.

I was in the front row last night. You can tell it's by the people behind "Jersey Boys". I enjoyed it. Theater was packed & from the reception the audience gave , they loved it.

Well I saw this last night. Sat in middle of second row & heard nearly everything. [ Anything I missed due to my poor hearing.] Loved it. Got soaked on way home.
