I walked past the theatre on Saturday, hoping to pop in and collect the tickets I've ordered, but it was closed! Seems strange to be promoting the show, with photographs of the cast outside, and for the box-office to be locked up...

Looking forward to hearing any reports from the first preview tonight if anyone went?
I'll either try and go tomorrow or Wednesday, and if not then the week after!

Great show... even better than when we saw it Sheffield!
Won the todaytix lotto for front row...
Stage quite high. But good value for money.
Couple of new songs if I remember right, but then they may just now be on the concept album and I've forgot they were in there.
You would never have guessed it was the first preview....
Could walk back in and see it again straight away!

I'm seeing it on the 18th. I'm more intrigued than anything going into it, going sith an open mind. How is it selling anyway? I wonder if it could do a Kinky Boots and run? London loves their drag queens!  |

Saw the first preview tonight and loved it as much as in Sheffield. It actually made me laugh more than I remembered, some great one liners in the show. Has some very catchy songs which I ended up humming on the way home. Will definitely be going back later in the run.

I am wondering if the tunes are so catchy because I've heard them before though......He's My Boy definitely has a sound of Natural Woman about it! Start singing one and end up on the other 😂

£20 front row lottery announced! Also some side dress circle seats for first week down to just £10! Thanks for the heads up on those £10 dress circle seats. Grabbed one for Wed and it's not even restricted view so massive bargain. Plus love when you click on the seat it gives you a picture of the view. Well done Nimex too as the plan was showing 2 seats together and I thought it would never let me buy just one and it did. And no booking or transaction fee so I'm well chuffed. Great for you, alece10, but I looked for those £10 seats soon after Mark posted and I couldn't see a single one - let alone a pair! I was using the Nimax site, too, so don't know why. |

The virtual preview of those £10 sears is false. The picture is taken further round the circle. I’ve sat in those seats before and they are only worth £10- you miss half the stage They hike them up to £49.50 for the run!! Daylight robbery.

I checked my seat for Young Frankenstein out on that virtual view during the interval, and the photo had clearly been taken from 2 seats along because it failed to show the pillar which restricted the view.

Well if that is the case I will be having words as there is no mention of restricted view on the seat I have bought. I clicked on a few other seats in the same area and they all said restricted view and the reason why restricted but nothing for mine so I am expecting a decent view. I know its only a tenner but you cant mislead people. |

Wonderful show tonight. Enjoyed everything about it!
On seating: we got 2 £10 seats at the end of dress circle row A, but got upgraded to row B closer to the middle on the aisle - brilliant view & very good leg room.
The stage is high and the floor does have quite a lot of lighting effects. I wonder how far back in the stalls it is before they are easily seen?

Ooooo its a long one then! I thought it would be shorter considering based on the concept album, there isn't that many songs.

Don't forget that the theatre has just been re-seated and some rows and angles have changed, so the website hasn't caught up with them all. I did find that the view wasn't the same when I arrived - and the site has updated it since. Please tell me my cubbyhole is still there, otherwise I'm not going! |

From the Sheffield production at least, there were at least 5 numbers/reprises that aren’t on the concept album. Should imagine there are a couple extra on top of that now too as I know they were rehearsing new numbers |

I was talking about the Garrick. The Apollo still has its cubbyhole - if you mean the one by X6. Phew, that's a relief. And if you're going to talk about the Garrick, then may I respectfully suggest you do that in the Young Frankenstein thread. This is the Jamie thread  |
