All booked. Couldn't really afford the top price stalls so have gone for side view stalls, but its an aisle seat, which I need and a lot cheaper. As I have a very good seat for the 1st preview I don't mind missing a bit of the action.
See you all there

We’ve booked evening. But may well book matinee as well at some point.
I’ll wear my TheatreBoard badge 🙂

Still seats available but a lot are the £125 plus ones. Linzi's first performance is actually much better sold than the first preview, but that could also be due to it being a weekend afternoon performance so there will be lots of kids there. |

We’ve booked 17th matinee to go alongside our evening, and then 4th September matinee which is Linzi’s last show. I need to not buy any more ticket for this! Anyone else loving the buzz of casting info and getting tickets? Small steps towards normal life 🙂 |

Any word on whether Linzi/Alexandra are playing the Sheridan version (doubling for Jacob etc) or is it toning down on the comedy now?

And yes, I’m tempted to also book Linzi’s final show on 4 September matinee but we’ll see! |

This is SUCH exciting news!! I booked a ticket for Aug bank hol weekend. However, I got caught up in the excitement, and needed a cheer up today (I’ve been poorly and had to miss my COVID vaccine) so I’ve also booked for July 17th matinee!! We should deffo have a board meet up!! I’ve waited 30 years to see Linzi as narrator! I missed out when I was a kid, and it’s always been the one thing I wish I’d seen! I love the outpouring of love for Linzi here and on Twitter, she deserves it. She’s super talented and I’ve been fortunate to meet her a few times and she’s one of the nicest most down to earth people, totally gracious and humble.

We are hoping that something gets sorted soon, and are just hoping that they they haven’t sorted the timetables for that period yet. |

Well there goes my plan to join in with the July 17 party, it appears there's no trains running from Manchester to London on that day Avanti west coast are rubbish. They haven't released their advance fares yet. You can check it and sign up for alerts here. www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/tickets-and-savings/ways-to-save/advance-ticket-alerts I figure, worst case scenario, if I can't get a train or it's silly money, I shall just drive down. Reckon I could do it in 2 hours in my new Audi!!! ha ha |

I know it takes 20 times as long but are National Express back up and running again? Might be an alternative.

From what I've been able to find, two of Euston's 16 platforms are going to be unavailable for a six week block, to facilitate work on HS2.
So unless there's a blockade elsewhere, trains should be running, but possibly fewer in number and/or to an amended timetable.

It looks like the 17th July is going to be a Theatre Board takeover of the London Palladium. Maybe we could organize a socially distanced meet up if people felt happy doing so?

I'll hopefully be half vaccinated by then! (If I ever manage to rebook) I'll only be coming down for the day cos I'm doing the matinee and my mate I usually stay with is away that weekend. So I'll probably be in London from about 11 till 6 (I need to check the end time but its quite a short show isn't it) Let's do it!! |

It's like a repeat of the last night of 42nd Street when board members had most of the seats in the front rows of the stalls.
