Price range being quoted as £28.75-£86.75, I presume that that isn't including Premiums.
Performance schedule is as follows:
Monday 7.30pm
Tuesday NO SHOW
Wednesday 7.30pm
Thursday 2.30pm & 7.30pm
Friday 7.30pm
Saturday 2.30pm & 7.30pm
Sunday 3pm
With some changes to the schedule over Christmas as it's Sunday Christmas and New Year!

I signed up on the official website a long time ago, but I've heard nothing since. If anyone gets a priority booking link and wouldn't mind forwarding it to me I'd be very grateful.

Like you, I did too, steve, but I have received nothing... I was forwarded a link to Ticketmaster priority booking but have heard nothing too. I think we are all in the same boat!

Ticketmaster has a huge booking fee when I looked just now. Is See the main agent?

Ticketmaster don't seem to have a great selection of seats either - well what they offered me on the dates I looked at weren't very good. Think I'm going to wait for the general onsale when there should be more choice of agencies and seats!

Just booked for the second preview (so hopefully none get cancelled!!). I despise Ticketmaster though! £3 to get tickets delivered through standard mail, and no print at home option! Eugh. Still, now I can forget about this show for a while at least! Probably could've held out for general sale but as I'm not fussed about seat quality and just want to see it no matter what, I opted for a cheap seat and can put this away for a bit now.

Think I'm going to wait for the general onsale when there should be more choice of agencies and seats! The choice of seats seems very restricted in the pre-sale. Row O is the best I can get at full standard price (£74) and Row K at premium price (£102) for either of the dates I had in mind. I'm also going to wait for general sale when there'll hopefully be the option to pick your own seats through the Really Useful Group website rather than being restricted to what Ticketmaster want you to have. |

So I've decided not to book on the Presale and wait for the General on-sale on Wednesday.
Ticketmaster clearly aren't the main agent as booking fees are crazy, it's not allowing me to select my own seats, and the seats it's offering me are not where I want to be sat if I'm booking on Day One (Row O in the Stalls at £75? No thanks) There's also no seats showing as available for the first preview.
I'll hang on til Wednesday and book through the official site with more flexibility and less fees.

I'm with those holding back from the TicketMaster pre-sale - poor seat selection, high fees, no thanks.

Yes, I'm waiting too. Best I was offered was Row O in the stalls for one of the previews. I can't make sense of the seat map on Ticketmaster either. What are those seats to the right of the stage?

Wow, will hold out for hopeful day seats. Only paid $37 for rush on Broadway.

I think after the Sunset Boulevard panic buying that transpired not to be necessary (remember that?) we can all feel pretty safe holding back!

I'm holding out too, I'm not sure how aware out of the theater clicks of the general public knowing and it being the 'hot' ticket, if it's somehow hard to get tickets then I can wait till the new year to see it (and day seating may be option!!)

I agree I hope Nathan Amzi gets a shot, I've spoke to him about it after In The Heights & he really was hoping it would transfer, he really is perfect casting, high rocky vocals with a cheeky comedy charm, very Rock of Ages but really good actor too after seeing him do Shakespere & recently at the Menier. Killian managed to leave Memphis early for Kinky Boots didn't he? So maybe that could happen? If not then Dan Buckley or Tim Prottey Jones? Alex of course is great from what I've seen but we have got UK talent here. I thought the deal with bringing people over from the USA was that they needed to prove they couldn't find someone here? Isn't their some work visa rule like that or am I making it up? I've heard it's something like an exchange scheme whereby if they send us an American Equity performer we send a British member to Broadway. I have a vague memory of hearing that Steve Pemberton was supposed to play Man in Chair in Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway before the West End but they couldn't make it work because of that. Just thinking they don't have long to find those talented kids do they! unless they are bringing them too? Looking forward to seeing it here either way with We Will Rock You and Rock of Ages gone I'm looking forward to some fun pop rock back in the West End. I wouldn't be surprised if Killian would get a 4th new musical in a row to his credits  |

I'll admit to thinking Killian too, for months now, but - can he play an instrument?

Are we not getting a bit bored of seeing Killian Donnelly in everything new? I personally think he's great - one of my favourite West End performers, but I'd really like to see someone else have a crack at this role to be honest.

Ditto - fan of his, love the stuff he's done, lets see a new face on this. |

Are we really anticipating a rush to buy tickets for this? I mean, who actually knows anything about it in the UK apart from us?!

I wonder if Sierra will come over to play Rosalie? If not who else could play the part? They would need to have a powerful soprano to sing Queen of the Night and also have a very strong belt. Celinde Schoenmaker? Sierra might come over. If they need soprano, Gina Beck maybe? Does Gina have a very strong belt voice too? |
