So I can't afford to see all the shows I'd like to see once and have been happily ignoring Les Mis as one I've already seen three times so no need to bother - then they go and cast Josefina Gabrielle! It's back on the to see list now with that.

Ok so the 3D Kiss Me Kate will be on in December - better warn BFI that I'll be moving in!

I saw it in Edinburgh and loved it - and I've never seen Closer to Heaven either! Frances Barber is just wonderful and I felt that it stood on it's own well although perhaps I would have loved it even more had I already known the character but then perhaps not as I went in with no preconceived ideas or expectations.

Fantastic news! This was the best thing I saw in Edinburgh by miles - so glad it's getting the chance to come to London.

Thanks I'm sure we will. This is the right show for two people who just want an evening out, no thinking but great music and seeing some great dancing. I have serious on Friday at the Old Vic to even things up!

I love concerts at the Palladium, the sound is great, it's more comfortable than many usual concert venues and feels closer to the artist. It's a big thing for performers - they love being able to say they've played the Palladium, after all years ago doing Sunday Night at the Palladium was considered special and this is the way it's done today. The excitement when The Fizz - as they are now, OBF as they were then - sold out the Palladium, meant a lot to Cheryl, Mike and Jay as well as the fans.

Was 853rd in the queue and waiting almost an hour but got row M in the stalls for the day I wanted in the end. It's the first time they've been released on my day off in a couple of years so was worth the effort as I doubt I'll get another chance to do it for quite some time

I totally agree with you on that! Although I'd go a step further and ask for the temperature to drop another 5 or 6 degrees before I would be happy with it.

Everyone who suffers please be careful - an insect bite last year turned into cellulitis and then formed a blood clot in my leg! If you find you have flu like symptoms following a bite please get it checked out immediately. I've suffered for years but that was the worst one ever.

Quite honestly I never watch her being interviewed, I've never thought she's a lovely person but I do love her live shows despite the horrendous ticket prices. Somehow Madonna never comes across well when she's doing interviews - I have no idea what she's like in private so try not to judge by what is shown as we all show a different face at work to at home. Mind you, it does remind me of the phrase 'never meet your heroes'!

Is anyone who already has tickets able to give me an idea of prices/locations - got the code now, just have to decide on budget and then hope to hell I actually get tickets!

Not going to lie - I'm over the moon with this news. When Lyn Paul announced she was retiring from Mrs J it was quite low key with just a few weeks to go and little chance to really celebrate her part in BB success. Now she's getting a proper farewell and I'm sure that will then lead into the show being revitalised with a fresh cast after a true farewell to what has gone before. I saw her in Southampton on the last lot and yes, she's far older than we would expect but brings so much energy and depth of emotion that it gets lost as the character takes over - well, that's how it works for me anyway!

Recovering from the most emotional weekend in Liverpool for the Fame Reunion. Such an incredible event and the most amazing fans who were all so friendly and fun - we were all back to being kids again for the entire time. The cast were fabulous not only giving great performances but also giving so much time to fans at various meet and greet events - they all signed anything wanted, had tons of photos taken and took time to talk to people. All this despite most of them being down with bronchial problems and having spent an entire week rehearsing, doing interviews etc. On top of all that they didn't get paid a penny as it was all for charity - Claire's House Hospice in Liverpool.
What a wonderful group of people - now hoping they can do it all again sometime, I'd be there like a shot

I don't care how much they are - I just want tickets!!! I've seen Madonna on every UK tour thus far so don't want this to be the one that ruins my record.

A good offer for the week following reviews would make more sense - then they can use the reviews and good or even sold out houses to sell the rest!

I find it easier to budget with cash - that's what I have and I can't overspend, far too easy to forget a contactless transaction. Don't get me started on the idiots getting on the bus to pay with their phone but then the phone isn't fully connected to wifi (but it was at home, they say) and the bus just sits there while I'm trying to get to work.

Malory Towers on stage - I'm there, already emailed my mate with my availability so we can get to this. Just hope there's not too much animation as it's one thing I really dislike but I'll try to block it out of my vision to see this on stage

Having just seen ticket prices I've crossed this off the list! Stalls at £209, £109 and £89 - there are cheaper at the back of the circle but for me that's just too distant in that theatre. Sad as I love the show but can't justify spending that on it.

Now if the offers were 'just pay the booking fee' I'd go for it!

Seriously hoping for discounts for this now - had no intention of seeing it and will certainly only go when it's Cassidy Janson as I can't bear the idea of an opera singer as Aldonza but adding Peter Polycarpou means I now want to go. Luckily I know the show extremely well so should be able to zone out bits that aren't doing it for me. Who knows, I may be pleasantly surprised - fingers crossed

Of course you can always save the ticket money and crush by just relaxing in the park outside the arena - you still hear it all live and if you're going to watch screens anyway why not just buy the dvd (if one's released) and get away before the crowd so you get a seat on the bus/tube!

So that's some of the excitement gone - adding Robbie Williams is not my idea of fun, just hoping he doesn't do all dates and mine is the one he misses! Mind you, I suppose that's the toilet break sorted for me.

I'm already priced out unless I can get deals or decide to just go with cheap seats but I dislike the latter as I simply end up not enjoying the show as much if I can't actually see performers faces properly. The amount of theatre I see has dropped year on year as prices have increased and sadly I can't see that changing.

Have a brilliant time everyone - sadly they've refused to sell on my ticket - seems the theatre would prefer an empty seat even though I clearly said I wasn't expecting a refund!
