October is a sensibly far enough time to wait to have full
Houses again.

My dads ticket from 2nd June moved to 29th September. If the dates were moved like for like then that would put reopening day for the full production as 13th September.

Thanks for the heads up, my 19 June ticket has been bumped to 16 October, which I can't do. Hey ho... the merry-go-round goes on!

Makes sense to remount the concert with socially distanced audiences and be able to increase capacity as and when the relaxation of restrictions enables them to do so.

Also agree that Lucie is a superb choice for Fantine - I hope she continues when the show reopens too.

Oh dear, may have to retract my previous statement about not giving them my money as I'd love to see Lucie as Fantine.
I will wait until they announce the guest Valjeans though so I can decide who I want to see. I'd like to know who it will be on my birthday...

Have to say I’m impressed with Delfont Mackintosh. Got my new dates yesterday lunchtime, couldn’t make one of them so used their form and got my chosen date by 8am today (slightly better seat too!)

Painless booking today. Went on at 10 and the later dates were showing so I have booked a concert ticket to replace my august staged date (which is now in December!)
Had another look and the earlier dates were back on. The seating plan is different and the cheap seats are in better positions (from the rush of rejigging when the rules changed and kept for the rescheduled but not extra dates I think) so I’ve now booked to replace my June one which is in October (hope you’re keeping up).

I just booked the two bargain (£65) "behind the conductor" front row seats for a May midweek performance. Had the same two for a cancelled performance so very happy I got a free DMT+ membership last year.
The booking site is very well designed, can switch instantly day to day and see what's available and at what price. The whole run is set up for social distancing so very few single seats and the early weekend performances are already getting full

Does anyone know how priority booking works? I signed up on their website, but haven't received anything yet and the booking opens in an hour.

Wow that was so easy! Email came through a few minutes after 10 but once I clicked the link I was basically straight onto the booking page. Got one of the £50 seats at the back of the stalls for the second Saturday matinee. Either the lack of Ball and Boe has brought demand right down or lots of people are hesitant to book after what happened in December I guess.

I'm so excited! Hopefully, lack of big names will result in better-behaved audience. |

Also managed to get this easily sorted. Though as a single theatre goer missed out on the first night!
In fact for the July onwards dates they seem to have reduced the single seats even further. In the stalls for example there is just one at the end of row F!

Reckon the seat should get a little plaque as the spot where us singletons return to our beloved musical theatre haha. (Interesting the layout changes from July - I assume it enables them to open up to full houses if the laws allow.....) |

As a single theatre goer I bought the two cheap seats front row of Grand Circle - a steal at £40 plus I gain additional social distancing |

I'm delighted to say I'll be in Judi's box on 17 October. Can't wait.

How is the pricing compared to when it was the “all star” version? Any difference?

How is the pricing compared to when it was the “all star” version? Any difference? On a par, I'd say (for the concert). Regular pricing for the actual show from Sept, though still more than it used to be. |
