Fairly sure it's the door opposite the toilets (towards the left as you leave the auditorium) Thrre's no 'outside' stage door as in most theatres. Thanks

Literally this was the most stressful rush for tickets EVER but I got one in the end. If for some reason I can't go then I will definitely put it up on here! So shocked that so many people tried and didn't manage to get tickets. The website kept crashing for us and it took 30 mins to verify the card. Horrific! Still, should be a great show! Agree with all of the above - this was an absolute nightmare! I was ready at 4pm on the website - immediately chose the date/seat I wanted added all details and then there was an error with the payment details loading. Tried constantly on the website on explorer/chrome/firefox and on a couple of mobiles and all the same issues - and that was when it actually let you onto the website. Was also redialling to get through to the box office (my phone says I called 100 times! before getting through). When finally did get through, their systems were taking ages and just after taking my details I could hear in the background someone saying 'its sold out'. After being put on hold for a couple of mins, the advisor came back to apologise that it had all sold out but he had pressed confirm before that but his system had frozen. Was told I would get a call back as he was going to speak to his manager - That was at 4.45pm and nothing yet! What a surprise. Luckily - I went straight back online to check if it had really sold out and finally got 1 seat for the late show on 30th June, took the gamble to book it and now very glad I did! Think they massively underestimated the demand for this and in the process have disappointed a lot of people.

Did anyone else hear Graham Norton's dig at the Television awards. He said ''or as they say a couple of glasses of Technical difficulties.'' Yep definitely clocked that! ??

Seeing this show was one of the best nights out I have had recently. Super funny and such a hardworking cast. Immediately booked again for next week.
I know it might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you like Urinetown/Bat Boy etc then this should be right up your street. Still humming the first song!

Enjoyed the film, so would be quite interested to see how this transfers into a musical. Might try and catch it on my next NYC trip

Looking to book for May to see Kinky Boots and noticed from the website that Matt Henry is off during that period. Anyone know what his understudy is like? Ive seen the show with Matt but the family i'm taking would be none the wiser if he was not performing. His understudy is Callum Francis and he is amazing! He puts his own unique spin on the role and has a beautiful voice, trust me, you won't be disappointed. Agreed! Callum Francis is stunning in this role, so much so that i'm going to book again specifically when he is due on as Lola. You won't regret it if he is performing on the night you go.

I was there! It played with an interval, but was still relatively short (out before 10pm). I thought the cast and production were really good. I have possibly NEVER experienced such an appreciative, enthusiastic audience! Everyone else seemed to laugh all the way through it, and most ovated. It's like a mash up of Bat Boy and Urinetown. Very easy to draw comparisons. If you liked Bat Boy, you'll probably like this too as the concept and humour is very similar. If you DIDN'T like Bat Boy (which, to be fair, I didn't as it's just not my sense of humour) then, whilst the production is good, you most likely won't like this either. Lots of musical in-jokes that I found amusing to spot. I thought I saw /heard nods to Hairspray, Phantom, Rocky Horror Show, Addams Family, Bat Boy, Urinetown, Les Mis and Grease. Thanks for the update.... I'm going tomorrow and loved Bat Boy, so think I'm going to like this one!

Seems like there might be a UK tour in the pipeline, based on a response given on the Josef Weinberger Ltd facebook page which states that request to licence legally blonde are being delayed due to a planned UK tour!

Saw this tonight after managing to nab 2 front row day seats at 5.40pm. The stage is high for sitting in the front row but it really didn't matter much for this at all. I'm only 5'2 and didn't miss a thing.
Got to say, I really enjoyed this. Some great comic moments an I thought the cast did great - with Harry Melling a standout!
Might go again if tempted back with a cheap ticket offer, but I agree that It would definitely not be everyone's cup of tea.
I described it to my mum as Avenue Q gone evil and with less singing!

I think I am probably in the minority of disliking this decision. I enjoy going to the Southwark and choosing my seats when I go in depending on what I feel the setup will be of the show. I'm 5ft 2 and will no doubt end up being sat behind someone extremely tall (as the steps aren't that high), where I could previously choose to sit behind someone else short aswell! I also like the fact that I can book my ticket when I want and then my friends (who are those people who always take such a long time to decide if they want to go!) can book at a later time and we can still sit together. I've never found the queue to be that much of an issue as always plan to arrive at least by 7pm and have always had the seats I've wanted. It won't put me off going, but it might restrict me going to see a show twice if the seats that I would like aren't available any longer on the seating plan.

I really enjoyed this when I saw it in NYC. Will definitely be looking to get some tickets when it launches over here. Some great songs and yes the finale is pretty spectacular although personal fave is the closing of Act 1
