Oh my word, I loved it even more the second time. The HEART that is in this show! The cast work so well as a unit. Must have been heavily comped this evening as swathes of seats all disappeared from the seating plan and tickets costing £0.00 littered the floor. But if it takes this to generate word of mouth then so be it. The audience went wild for it tonight! Oh, and I LOVED that someone different hit the jukebox at the end. They must pick a different cast member each show; I want to ‘collect’ them all! Merchandise is crazily over priced, though. Bought a mug for £15, three quid more than my superb front row seat. Funny you should mention comping, swathes of seats have just disappeared from tomorrow's show. I didn't really know this was a thing outside London! LOL re the mug being more than the ticket. Are they doing a souvenir brochure?! |

From memory, they have programmes, hoodies, T-Shirts, beanie hats, tote bags, mugs, magnets and pin badges. No souvenir brochure as yet!

Did you miss anything from front row? Is the stage high? |

Did you miss anything from front row? Is the stage high? Nope, missed nothing and the sound quality still superb! Loved being so close and watching all the facial expressions. Saw it last time a few rows back to appreciate the spectacle more, but front row is more than fine! |

Unable to quote the relevant posts on my mobile & perhaps this should also go in the ATG thread, but I'm fascinated to read at long last about the "red box" issue, as it had been bugging me & I began to think I was the only one affected & that it was an issue with my own IT settings or my lack of IT skills. Interestingly also, when I raised it with ATG, they were aware & said they hoped a website redesign would address it. Well, obviously not so far & they didn't suggest a workaround, so I look forward to trying that.

Did you miss anything from front row? Is the stage high? I found it a tad high despite being tall, and you lose the impact of the projections somewhat but it’s still a bargain. |

I suspect there’d be a bit more urgency around getting a fix if it were the top price seats that people couldn’t buy. |

It is very poor to have a list of seat options not viewable. How can this not be a priority?! Press Night seems to be Tuesday. Hoping the reviews pull in more punters because there’s still barely anything sold for the rest of the run.  |

Incidentally, there’s a Spotify playlist with all the songs collected together if anyone is interested.

Here we are again, round 2. Hadn’t realised how the legroom narrows so much the closer to the end of the row you get. Hope the person to my right is small!!!

I can’t remember who hit the juke box! But that was just as good the second time around. The cast have really settled into this and look like they are having a ball. The audience were really up for it; looked like everyone was having a great time. So much talent on that stage, and the sound is just fantastic! |

Old friend of mine from Stockport said his teenage daughter and her friends saw it the other night and said it was all a bit naff...they are all big SIX fans and HAMILTON fans...bit worried that this will struggle to find any kind of ‘target’ audience in the WE

I rather hope not (although the producers would no doubt disagree) and that’s not been the demographic on my two visits. The music wouldn’t land with the teen market because, depressingly, much of it is before their time. It’s been 20 years since Britney landed in the charts. Maybe this is Six for the millennial generation. |

I bet one of the shows fangirls has set up a spreadsheet to show who hit the jukebox at each show.

So why isn't it selling well in Manchester??
Are they waiting for press night to release production footage?
I would have expected to see much more about this in the past few weeks.

I've seen loads production pictures posted from the show and also the cast off stage in costume. I would love to see some video though. |

Does one need to know Romeo and Juliet well to get full enjoyment from this show?
