Come From Away - Phoenix / U.K & Ireland Tour 2024

Have also just booked for 23rd March - the Theatreweek deal was too good to miss given I would have gladly paid full price for this one.

Went to the matinee today, the access team were utterly brilliant and set the tone for a great visit to the Pheonix.

I loved the show, from the back of the circle it still felt close and intimate. The cast are stunning. It did bring back some horrible memories but I am so glad I went, a real gem of a show.

I saw the show yesterday. Everything has already been said, it was absolutely wonderful, and I can't wait to go back!

I too was at the matinee on Wednesday. I booked awhile back centre back stalls for £20. I was really worried about my seat as I normally prefer front stalls but infact it was a great seat and I didn't feel unconnected or that far away from the stage. There was a relatively big young school group attending was slightly worried but they didn't sit in the stalls but annoyingly an elderly person 4 seats down kept eating something from a bag that made such a noise and it was always during the quieter numbers. Just wish someone sitting around her would've said something.

I loved the show and echo all the superlatives already said in other posts. For a moment I thought there was not going to be a standing ovation, it just took awhile.

It's arriving no later than 9 to 5 or Only Fools, both of which are also eligible for nominations. Don't think that really matters tbh

I'm afraid I'd rather spend 3 hours just walking round London than set foot again in Tate Modern! The only time I've been in the Turbine Hall was filled with blue & yellow metal bunk bed frames. It looked like a 1950s Youth Hostel. Not my idea of art!

Seeing this again tonight and can’t wait! It really did make me feel warm and fuzzy inside and I could do with that right now ❤️

TodayTix if you want to go this month. Tickets at £15, £25 and £35.

I read that Nick and Diane have seen the show 95 times so far and Beverley is on 124 ☺

That's adorable. Nick and Diane are on twitter (as a joint account!) and have been liking and RTing reviews etc of the London production. (They shared my blog! i would of course utterly flail and fangirl if I found out Beverley had read it too). 

On a similar note, cast alumni seem still really invested in it- with former NY and Canadian cast members tweeting and RTing about the London production and seeming really excited about it. That's really sweet. 

Loved, loved, loved this show - one of the best, most completely satisfying pieces of theatre I’ve seen.
Most of what is fantastic about the show has been said, so I won’t repeat in detail how perfect the story, simple staging, talented cast and music are. It’s thoroughly engaging and both witty and emotional; the sense of the kindness of strangers that is the piece’s main theme somehow seems to translate into the relationship between the performers and the audience. I like to think I performed a “small act of kindness” in passing tissues down the row when some of my fellow theatregoers just lost it completely. (I was way ahead of them.)
Despite all the sadness, the ending with the musicians is a nice touch, enabling everyone to compose themselves and come out with a sense of well-being. And I loved the badges - and the fact I didn’t have to kiss a fish to get one.

I booked a pair of rush seats with TodayTix - great seats just off centre in row K. You have to be quick.
