Helen is hoping to be back very soon. Charli has done an amazing job covering and Amy G in covering Charli's track while she does so.

I hope Helen is back soon because I missed her last time and I really want to see her with all the positive feedback I've heard from London and the tour. I wasn't too impressed with Charli to be honest, I found her Glinda a bit dull compared to the other actresses I've seen, to me she didn't really bring any unique spark to the role. But then obviously I'd go in with an open mind if she was on and I'm sure she will have improved a lot since way back in February.

Helen must have it bad. She somehow survived the Sunderland lurgy when everyone else dropped like flies, but it looks like she’s struggling in Cardiff.

I saw the show last night and Charli jokes that Helen should be back by next week!
4 times I’ve seen Charli in Cardiff and she’s pretty great. I really love her acting choices, her Popular is hilarious and she’s got a beautiful soprano!

The only cover I've actually seen for this tour is Yates as Fiyero. I guess it goes to show how consistent and strong this cast is that most of them rarely miss shows. I do think that Amy would do better in London as she has allergies/hay fever which get triggered badly when travelling and having to adapt to new environments all the time. At least I hope she'll transfer and take Ben and Bentley with her.

Cast board today for some reason said Amy Webb was on as Elphaba, but it was actually Ross. Wonder what was going on there.

Amy Webb was on last night, they just haven't updated the board.

Amy Ross was on for the matinee today and Amy Webb is on tonight (a friend is doing a double show day), it must be a challenge when they're pretty much all called Amy.

So glad that Helen’s back, very excited to see her and the show on Tuesday.
Also I think Charli should be commended for doing a fantastic job covering for almost the entire Cardiff run!

Yay so glad Helen is back! Missed her going on for Glinda by a day in London, and I’m really hoping she’s on when I see the show this week! 😀

I work across from the WMC on Tues/Wed and I had an adorable girl who had come up with her Mum from Wokingham to see the matinee for her Birthday! I asked her which song was her favourite and she said she couldn't pick one because they were all her favourite.

Finally managed to catch this yesterday. I was blown away by Helen - what a fantastic Glinda! I thought the entire cast was superior to that of the current London one to be honest...

Just booked my tickets for closing night in Manchester. £27.50 for the back of the dress circle which I thought was a great deal considering it's closing night, and I've seen the show enough to know what happens so I don't need to be up close.

I was very tempted too but the crazies are all going and my tolerance levels towards them are low (having encountered them several times on this tour previously).
Therefore, I think I'd rather go on another date where I will be able to enjoy the show without hysterical attention seeking nonsense and then say thanks to the cast personally at the Stage Door when it is quiet.

£48 for the back of the stalls on a Tuesday night. Must be having a laugh.

My ticket said restricted legroom. Just thought “oh well, I’m never gonna see anything else at that price”. How bad is it? I’m 6”2. Anyone with experience of The Palace? Back of dress circle.

I sat in these seats during the last tour. The legroom is tight but I think you'll be fine. Also to note that the very end of DG is cut off due to overhang. It's only when the lift moves up that touch more during the 'bring me down's' that you can't see her. You'll be fine apart from that! Great view from those seats! 👍🏼 |

At 6’6” I found the seats in the circle fairly tight and extremely low so have needed ear protectors to stop my knees hurting them. Probably less so towards the back than the front though and the view is good. Have definitely had worse! |

It's the last press night of the Tour tonight. Yes-booked a last minute ticket for tonight without realising that! The noise of all the teenage girls behind me in the stalls is deafening. Hope I'm not going to regret this... |
