Very happy to see a matinee added but IMHO it's ambitious pricing (nothing in stalls or royal circle under £110) and suspect some discounting will be needed.
A lot of the people prepared to pay those sort of prices will have already booked. Impressive casting ; I'd love to sit in the stalls front row - and would willingly pay the £95 I did for the Sondheim concert on Wednesday - but £141 is just too much for me.

How likely do we think the matinee will be discounted closer to the time? I would love to go, but really don't want to pay £40 for the last row of the balcony...

More big names Daniel Dae Kim Aaron Tveit Ashley Park Marisha Wallace Marisha Wallace has already been announced but the other 3 are new. I've not heard of Daniel Dae Kim though but know the others. I'm a fan of Aaron Tveit ever since he did Assassins at the Menier. |

Bloody Aaron Tveit! It's just gets better and better. Him alone would be worth it. Has he played the west end before? |

Nice additions, esp Aaron Tveit. Says there’s still more stars to be announced. Plus there’s the promised chamber choir and dance ensemble. Should be a bloody huge show.
Don’t usually bother with concerts but I’m really looking forward to this.

Oh my days. What excellent additions. Really giving big consideration to booking the matinee as well now. I might wait to see if there's any discounts though...

Very disappointing how American stars have been prioritised over homegrown talent.
And these are only "big names" if you're REALLY into Broadway)

Granted we have a lot of talent but many of those are brought out every time there is a concert version or gala and although I love seeing them this is a real treat to see stars that we seldom get to see performing in the UK.
So personally I'm absolutely thrilled to get a chance so see them.

This line up is amazing.
Unmissable, let’s hope they don’t f it up with terrible sound.

Daniel Dae Kim is a pretty big non theatre name. Has been in two massive tv shows in both america and UK that ran for many years. Patrick Wilson has built up a respectable film career, including the popular Insidious and Conjuring franchises. |

I can’t justify those ticket prices no matter who the names are.

Seems like the new names have shifted quite a lot of seats. The evening performance now nothing left in the upper circle and balcony with only the most expensive seats in dress and stalls left.
More availability for the matinee but this could be due to the fact its a Tuesday so people will be working.
I think there would have to be a huge name added to shift the most expensive seats.

Michael Ball and Lucy St Louis added to lineup.
Looks like they’re the last of the headliners as it no longer says more to be announced. Though they haven’t announced the choir or the dancers.

Good one noticing it no longer says more to be announced, that totally passed me by! Was about to ask if we expect any more. Can't wait for this.

I still really want to go to this, but it's over £100 for a half decent seat.
