Wonder how long it is until people start discussing who’s replacing Nikki and Helen...

Does anyone have an idea how Natasha's situation is gonna look like? Lead Nessa and 2nd US Glinda? Yes she put this on Twitter.

oh god no, Micheal Colbourne is first cover Fiyero - i was not happy with the upcoming first cast Fiyero, but now if i ever see it with this cast i want Alistair O.o Michael unfortunately was - with a big gap - the worst Enjolras i saw since i saw Les Mis first 2013, not keen on seeing him dance trough life. Well on the plus side - new witches , more or less new, Jesus! Why not really fresh faces for the 2?

Just got an email from TodayTix- there are going to be 12 rush tickets available daily for Wicked. I tend to book most of my theatre on the day, so this is really good news 🙂 Also, there are still four available so looks like it’s not a giant bun fight. Might go and see this next week.

I do not find Nikki's vocals pleasant at all. Her vowels sound very strange, in defying gravity she shouts "it's mayyyyy" instead of singing "it's meeeeeee." I know I'm in the minority judging by the comments of "yas queen, slay" and "I am shook" on YouTube but this is a very disappointing cast change. Maybe she studied at the Glenn Close School Of Musical Theatre “With one look I’ll be MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY”

I saw Helen when she was understudy, thought she was great. I've never seen or heard Nikki so I could be enticed back, although I don't like a shouter. Love that Today Tix has finally done this Daily dozen. Why dont they just call it £29.50 rush lol! Do you think theres actually 12 because they didnt go quick! Maybe people didnt know about them. Does anyone know what the view like from the second half of the stalls because I got offered a seat in row Z I think people just aren't aware of it yet. I'm glad they've done this, tickets are getting to stupid prices! I once sat about half way back of the back section and it was fine. I think it's good to see it from further back actually and see the full stage.

So i woke up thinking I was dreaming about how many Tour & old cast have been recast. Sadly it wasn’t a dream haha 😂
I looked online for cast change night, since when did prices get so expensive?

Do you think it will be really busy tomorrow for dayseats? A friend wants to go and I recommended her to show up around 9, is it too late?

It isn't school holidays, so by 9am may well be OK if she doesn't mind potentially being in the side blocks. She arrived at 9 and there were already 18 people in front of her and many people wanted 2 tickets so she left. Isn't it weird? I didn't think it would be that busy on a Monday. Maybe it's because of the cast change...

Maybe it's because of the cast change... unless the show is sold out they often hand out discounted tickets for anyone else in the first line after the front row is full so she should’ve stayed!

Worth a go.
There are usually great tickets available in the stalls on the Today Tix from ten am every day in the "daily dozen" if you have no luck at the box office.
