I’ve sat in the balcony twice and it’s not that bad. You can’t really make out the facial expressions with the naked eye (binoculars available at seats for £1) but it generally offers a clear view of the stage at a (fairly) decent price. I'd want to be near enough to see facial expressions. I've seen the show often enough that I'm not interested in the overall spectacle, I'd only go to see how this particular cast differs from the others I've seen & for that I need detail. So it sounds like the balcony's out. Dawnstar it's not a guarantee but single seats may be reduced closer to the performance so maybe hold off booking until the week of the show? The previous two venues (Bristol Hippodrome & Liverpool Playhouse) have reduced all single seats (including premium) down in price to between £20 and £35, as Edinburgh is also an ATG venue they may also offer this? Seeing as I highly doubt the show will sell out every night given the capacity the venue has Thanks. I think I will do that then, especially as if I do go it'd almost certainly be on a Monday evening, which is probably the least likely show to sell out. And if it does sell out it won't kill me not to see Wicked for the 67th time! |

I'm hoping they reduce single seats because there's a nice little single front row seat available for what I suspect will be Nikki's scheduled show. I'm such a fangirl I'll probably pay for it regardless, but it would be nice if they reduced it for me. Just to ask, what date is that? I'm eager to see if Nikki is on for my performance. |

I'm suspecting it will be the one of the shows on the 30th May (Wednesday) or the 31st May matinee. Not confirmed until Amy decided or is told which show she is having off for the 9 show week. I'm hoping its a matinee so I can get to and from Newcastle in the same day. |

I booked in for the matinee on May 26th. It will probably be Amy but I’m hoping for Nikki. (Nothing against Amy I just care more about the more vocal focused Elphabas) |

In Bristol and Birmingham I think Nikki had the Wednesday matinee on a 9 show week and Charli the Thursday matinee.

In Liverpool Nikki did the Wednesday evening show so it's not always the matinee.

Hearing that Birmingham Hipp have now released box seats at £15. May be required to purchase the full box, but a bargain if there's a few of you.

Did nobody warn Amy the ramifications of talking about Nutella publicly as an Elphaba?  On a TOTALLY unrelated note, does anyone know if there’s a supermarket near the Birmingham Hippodrome that sells the 5kg jars of Nutella? Asking for a friend. |

Amy Ross has just posted on her Instagram story that she loves ginger. The inner fangirl in me wants to stock up on it and give it to her, but I know that somewhere the new generation of “Jax” fans are ransacking Tesco for it.

I'm surprised it hasn't occurred to any of the cast to mention that they have a passion for high denomination banknotes.

Seeing as I highly doubt the show will sell out every night given the capacity the venue has Thanks again for this tip. I've been checking ATG's website fairly frequently over the last few weeks just in case. When I looked just now I found the end seats on the front row for next Monday onsale for just £25, so I've snapped one up. (Goodness knows I've seen the show often enough that I'm not fussed if the view's a bit restricted.) It looks like they're available for at least some of the other dates too, if anyone else is looking for Edinburgh. |

Dawnstar you’re welcome. I’m glad it was of some use to you. Enjoy the show when you go.

Slight panic attack realising there are pretty much only
single seats left in Cardiff and I didn’t have anything booked...
So I’ve now booked the 2nd day which will be press night so matinee (assuming Amy will take it off as it’s press night) so I can catch a Standby/Understudy show and then the evening show to see the wonderful Amy!

There are some blocks available on some on the Sunday matinees as I was looking to go with my goddaughter, but nothing for a Saturday matinee in the whole run! Sunday matinees range from £52 to £32 I think for upper circle! |

I’ve booked for the matinee on May 26th. Managed to only pay £27.50. (But with booking fees because ATG are greedy) I’m really really hoping it’ll be Amy Ross as Elphaba as it seems like her portrayal is way different to Alice Fearn who was my first.

Anyone know if Amy will do the matinee today with it being press night last night? I know if its on the day of press night she doesn't but I dont know if it worms the other way round and I'm desperate to see Nikki again while i have a day free.

Why not tweet Nikki and ask her?

I really want to see Wicked in Sunderland. Relatively manageable by train from me (well I have to change at Newcastle and part of it is the underground) but I would panic about missing the train home. Trains back to my town from Newcastle in the evenings are pretty crap but I still want to go!! Urgh..

There's metro and network trains from Sunderland to Newcastle after the show but they don't run that late.
