Has anyone been successful getting rush tickets for this? I want to try on Saturday but my friend is only in town that day so not sure whether to risk it. Yep. The trick is to ignore the 'all tickets are in other customers baskets' message and just keep tapping on the button continuously. Might take you 20 minutes or so, but you might get lucky 😀 |

Do we think all the cast (read Mel) will be staying for the extension?

In response to the Seat hilarity I caused - I got moved into E28 grand circle. So had a bit of left hand side restriction but generally it was fine.
The show has actually changed a lot since I saw it 3 weeks ago. The Tick Tock sequence is new for me, and the biological clock theme feels more. Makes the second half have a different feel.
Rosalie is a phenomenon. I can’t agree with the comments that she doesn’t sing well enough - I thought she knocked it out of the park. Beautiful performance.
Johnny Bailey is a delight, still bringing the house down with Not Getting Married. And I just adored Patti. The whole Ladies Who Lunch sequence is unbelievable, because she doesn’t even get off her chair for the whole thing.
It’s my favourite thing on in London at the moment. Many more trips for me.

"Unless you’ve got connections, tickets are impossible to come by" ....um, in what world? I saw it last Saturday. The theatre was full and, although I didn’t do rush tickets, I did get a day seat at around 11:00 for that day’s matinee. I was very lucky - got a seat in the premium block of the dress circle for £25. Didn’t have to queue - just walked in and bought the ticket. Maybe it was just a lucky day? |

I just opened the todaytix app and there is plenty of availibility tonight. Maybe a Saturday night is a different story, but unless you are Harry Potter or Hamilton, you can always find a ticket.

I haven't tried the rush tickets for Company yet, but for many other shows I've always been lucky, just by keep refreshing. Good luck!

"Unless you’ve got connections, tickets are impossible to come by" This Michael Riedel false assertion proves once again that he is a gossipy fool with opinions rarely grounded in reality. |

I low-key have hope for another extension in London, maybe through to the end of June. Fingers and toes crossed, then the ladies can have Summer off before Broadway! Also, I think we are all hoping Jonathan gets to go along too.  |

I got at Today Tix rush seat for £25 in the centre of the Circle Row D - I kept refreshing the page. The seat is a premium seat at around £100. An absolute steal!
Clearly they try their luck at top dollar prices but there are loads of availability for this - because of the prices, and then they clearly have to reduce at the last minute to fill the house! I suppose it must pay off though!

Also managed to grab a rush ticket today using the clicking repeatedly method!
For my second visit tonight I'm in row U in the Stalls. I was in W last time. From the looks of it the view is similar and the orchestra will still be out of view. It does make me wonder why Delfont are selling it at more than double the price of row W.
Ah well, we'll see.

I'll likely see it once more during the run so will buy one of the dress circle seats to ensure I don't miss it! |

So bloody happy for Rosalie- thoroughly deserving! She carries this whole show, and in my opinion, is the star of it! Cannot wait to return! |

Should this rendition of Company land on Broadway successfully (which I imagine it will) I could see NBC picking up on this (gender-swapped) adaption and taking it on as their live-musical one year.

Thanks to you both for the numbers! Fingers crossed. Let us know how it goes. Fingers crossed for you! We manged to get the rail fare refunded which was a good start. We've missed shows before (weather, trains etc etc) and never had any luck getting refunds etc etc. However, we struck (relatively) lucky this time. We were offered A price seats (non premium) at B prices, so a "saving" of about £60 on full price for 2 tickets. We're back on the same row. We're now not going until next March, but we have a Follies matinee on a Wednesday, so we're staying over. for the Thursday Company matinee. Not taking any chances. Thanks again to Theatremonkey and carriesparkle. |
