I hear the staircase failed to lower last night during opening overture so orchestra played extended version until fixed. Well that’s a lie...I was there last night, You were there last night, and? I’m seeing this in 9 minutes time and the suspense is killing me! |

Well that’s a lie...I was there last night, You were there last night, and? I’m seeing this in 9 minutes time and the suspense is killing me! I quite enjoyed it! But the book is very flawed! And the first act was slow, second act better. But seems to me if people are going to lie about the apparent staircase failure when the curtain is fully down during the overtire three rises on the prison scene when the stairs finally descend then they’ll lie about anything to further damn the show. This show isn’t my cuppa but don’t think it’s right to lie to cause even more negative pent up energy. This show is like marmite you’ll either love it or hate it. Would deffo work better in Southwark playhouse or even chichester. Kelsey sings well as does Danielle, just a very dated piece Worth a visit. That’s my penny’s worth |

For those of us who've decided to give this a go, won't pay full price but need to know we've a ticket in hand because we're travelling/taking granny etc- Encore tickets are offering Dress Circle at £37.50 /£40, depending on day, choose your own. Check comments re legroom. I decided this was just about my cave-in point, and I know that many will scoff but just making the point we all have different criteria!

Good offer, and pleased they are finally discounting in advance! This is the same price those seats are offered for on the day at TKTS.
The seats at the front of the dress circle are fine, I think the only problem is the front row has slightly restricted legroom.

Speaking of that ATG nibble box, pre ordering them online is a total ripoff. £15 online compared to £6.50 in the theatre, for the exact same contents. I’d expect a three course hot dinner for £15. I’ll just carry on taking my extra big bag of crisps and a tub of very smelly Doritos Salsa dispensed into a Tupperware pot for dipping. #theycantstopyou |

I haven't booked this yet but still hope to see it if the price is right.
Can someone please explain how TodayTix Rush Tickets work work ? I don't have a current smartphone or use Facebook though i did register there years ago. Can I purchase a Rush ticket and just print it from my PC?

Select London and then MoLM. You'll need to unlock rush tickets in advance. Todaytix will want you to share, but it's perfectly simple to unlock without sharing. I don't remember printing at home being an option, just COBO, which is what I always prefer anyway. Bound to have forgotten something. Sorry! |

I could be totally wrong and it's changed but I believe rush tickets can only be purchased via the app, normal non-rush tickets can be purchased on their website. |

Yes, I'm afraid I'm a complete idiot, but I think that was already a truth universally acknowledged.
It is possible to create an account on the Todaytix website, and do various other things, but buying rush tickets doesn't indeed seem possible.
Sorry...again! By trying to be helpful, I was anything but. 🙂

You can enter lotteries on a PC, but can't access rush tickets without a smartphone/tablet. |

You can always ask someone with a smartphone to do it for you and then transfer the ticket to your name. No need for printing, you just collect it from the box office. |

Thanks. Doesn't look like I can buy rush tickets then. Had a look at the website but my phone uses an old Windows system and isn't compatible with most apps. I only use it to make the occasional call
send texts and check train delays !

At the risk of sending you down a blind alley again, there may be a 'hack'.
I've not done it myself, yet, cos I'd never thought of it before this afternoon, but it seems relatively easy to download an app emulator to your PC.
Have a Google!

Saw this earlier this week. Great show. The whole audience loved it. Standing ovation. Accept the story for what it is. Enjoy the music. Interesting set. Don’t trust those who give it only two stars. I give it 4.

I'm more likely to trust a 2* review from someone who has an established presence on a discussion board and has shared their honest and frank opinions about a wide array of productions, thus enabling me to work out how much I personally value their 2* conclusion, than a 4* review from someone who tells me that other people's opinions are inherently untrustworthy just because this someone said so.

I give it 4. "Standing ovation." I note that it is a show that attracts selfish people ready to deny those behind sight of the finale and bows. |

I enjoyed it in the week. Bonkers story! I went to see Cassidy Janson, and thought she was the best thing in it! Has anyone seen her and Danielle to compare?

Dress circle front section £75 (£80 Saturday) seats down to £39.50 (£42 Saturday) all performances to 8th June with code MOLM2019. Usual £2.25 per ticket booking fee applies. Yes, much better pricing, but is it too little too late? Still huge availability and after the poor reviews I don't think it will do much for sales. It would have been better to charge sensible prices to start with and get a good advance and then it would have been critic proof! |

24 hour offer on todaytix - dress circle for £25 or upper circle for £15, looks like this is available for all dates for the rest of the run. You'll probably get better seats through the daily rush but a good offer if you need to book in advance! Based on @theatremonkey's post if you go midweek you might be better booking a £15 upper circle seat and hope for an upgrade  |

So much for the "theatrical event of the year".

I love a theatrical car crash but 15quid is too steep for this tight fisted Yorkshire man |
