Particularly poignant this afternoon. All the cast on top form. David Thaxton excellent as Kevin
Clive Carter gave a very moving speech at the end. They are raising money for a charity that educates school children about 9/11.
My 10th time seeing the show and it just keeps getting better.

Are the TodayTix rush tickets always in the Grand Circle for this? I had stalls twice before earlier in the run when they were getting the show out there through word of mouth to boost sales. I guess that’s worked and they only give TodayTix Grand Circle now. |

Must depend on the day what is available. I've had stalls and upper circle, and I know others who have had dress circle. Was in row D upper circle on Wednesday and the view is great (bought from TKTS for £20.50 not Todaytix)

Rear stalls is okay, actually. The rake isn't bad and it doesn't feel too distant. As for the grand circle, I've sat in row B and enjoyed it, and row C and was bothered by the head of the person in row A that was directly in front. So I'd recommend row B so you only have one set of heads in front which will be staggered if you go for the grand.
Also, loving your profile pic.  |

I sat in Grand Circle (J1) for this and only paid £19.50. I'm 5'4 and I thought it was a fantastic seat for the price, I could see clearly and didn't feel too far from the action.

I loved this. Moist eyes from the first note. Very nice work.
Sat in row B of stalls which is 4 back ( !?) and I couldn’t see their feet or the bottom of the chairs and I’m not short. So go for further back or upstairs.

I was there last night for my third visit. I will happily say this is my favourite show in London right now, Such heart at its core. I was on the opposite aisle to Lynette in Row B, 11. Guy next to me wiping tears - great audience, appreciative and totally involved with the show. Gasps and laughs in all the right places.

I was back yesterday evening too - londonmzfitz said hello on the way out, we'd been either side of the aisle on Row B (I'm clearly way too unobservant to spot even people I know, so please don't expect anything from me in the "Famous People You've Seen in the Theatre" thread!). Also my third visit. Emotional impact in no way diminished with re-seeing. It makes me cry, it makes me laugh, it makes me thankful that there are people in this world like those in Gander. |

Saw this a second time today. First time was first preview which was a great expereience. This didn't quite live up to it but I didn't expect it to. It's still one of the best shows around. I had three covers on today and the biggest one I guess was Kirsty Malpass on for Rachel. They all gave great performances but for my money they were all that just bit less impressive than the originals. Special show.

I saw this for the second time in the matinee on Wednesday this week. I loved it. I loved it the first time, but this time I was on my feet for a Standing O as soon as the last beat hit! I've been listening to the soundtrack since I first saw it, and I'd sort of forgotten how much spoken stuff there is, especially towards the start of it. It's such a good production - which I guess is what happens when you workshop something as much as it was, and having the Real People seemingly fully supportive of it seems to help as well. It feels like this production is part of one big family that is all the various iterations that currently exist. This time I cried even more than I did when I first saw it - {Spoiler - click to view}
the old Jewish guy just hits something inside me when he says 'I was born in Poland. I think'. It's the 'I think' that really does it. Other parts got me this time too, including Beverley Bass' 'I'm fine Tom, I'm fine', and somehow the 'ten years on' bit got me emotional this time as well!
If you haven't seen this, I strongly recommend it. The seat - I had a comp to E25 in the Dress Circle. I've tried to work out the value of it, and have vastly conflicting information - seemingly anywhere between £45 and £69, depending on day of the week, and possibly how well any particular show is selling(?). Seat was comfy, good rake - I was almost at the end of the row, but could see everything on stage clearly. The staggering of the seats meant I didn't have anyone's head in front of me. The legroom wasn't great. I'm about 5 foot 5, and my shins were jammed up against the back of the seats of Row D - if you're much taller it can't be great. The Dress Circle was pretty full for this performance - I'd say 90%+, which I'd think is pretty good for a Wednesday Matinee in September? |

I’m seeing the show this week and it’s only dawned on me, is this sung the whole way through or are there acting scenes ?

I got an email from ATG's West End newsletter to say that this had been extended to September 2020. Looks like this will be here to stay and rightly so! I was massively jetlagged from travelling when I saw it but I still felt very emotional and touched by the show, and it is great to know that I will have another chance to see it.

Saw this for the first time last night and thought it absolutely wonderful. A tribute to the very best of humanity in amongst what the very worst of humanity can do.
Sat in A3 in the Upper Circle - great view for £29 and not at all uncomfortable as I was expected to be squashed in with my long legs..!
Instant and full standing ovation at the end of the show and loved the play out by the band - they could have kept on playing for me last night!
Must see and a return visit is very much guaranteed.
