42nd Street at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane

There's row F stalls available for Sat 1st (eve) £25. I'm tempted!

Thanks for posting this.

I'm in London in September and am already seeing this but these prices are such a steal I have booked the day after too ☺

I don’t mean to go off-topic with this...

But someone explain Bonnie Langford’s popularity to me? Reading through these comments, she’s clearly very popular with the theatre set, in a Patti Lupone/“La Whoever” sense. Admittedly, I’ve only seen her in a few things and I wasn’t exactly blown away. And the times I’ve seen her as a personality I’ve found her a little bit false. All teeth and showbiz. A bit irritating to be honest.

Again, I accept I’m in the minority here and I’m not trying to derail things or start a flame war. I’m just curious what it is about her which seems to click with you guys. Was there an iconic role she owned, or is she just considered a great all-rounder?

See you there 😁

Haven’t seen this yet so got some £15 royal circle seats on that Todaytix offer - for after Bonnie Langford starts, of course. I always find her fantastic to watch, she (& the male leads) really elevated Dirty Rotten Scoundrels for me when I saw it a few years ago. Worth waiting for her turn in this show, I hope!

Bonnie Langford is one of the original triple threats in the UK. She started off her career very young, and was known a precocious child because of the role she played in Just William, she was very much a stage school kid. She did Doctor Who, was in the original London cast of Cats and has worked constantly throughout the years. She was fantastic in Eastenders, showing what an amazing actress she is. She really can do it all.

I've booked for 18th Sept, Row G of the stalls. A bargain! I cant wait to see Bonnie in it. Now if they could find a way for her to tap in the finale....

It would also be a wonder of 1930s medical science, as, technically, Dorothy Brock still has a broken leg at that point!

First saw Bonnie in the original run of Cats and thought she was great. She was already a well known name when she joined Doctor Who - the most known person to be a companion up to that point.

I've got the centre of row G on Sat 8th. But, unlike you lot above, mine are for the matinee.

I think she’s just got a good reputation as a consummate professional who rarely disappoints, coupled with a sentimental side of the fact that most of us grew up with her.

Well tonight's show was a right comedy of errors! Peggy (aka Clare) ended up on the floor after crashing in to Julian (aka Tom) at the beginning. Philip B managed to drop his cane in Dames. Clare then narrowly avoided another incident at the end of Act 1 when she ran off stage after confronting Dorothy (aka Steph) before her version of 42nd St crashing in to a side panel of the wing. She then narrowly missed falling again as she slipped at the beginning of Plenty of Money, fortunately saved herself. Billy (aka Ashley) managed to fluff his lines at the end of 42nd Street, Clare had to stop herself from laughing, then finally at the end when Peggy is talking to Julian something fell backstage causing an almighty crash! Not one of the best shows!!

And of course, she was truly memorable in Bugsy Malone, and was simply an astonishing Mabel in the London broadway Pirates, singing Mabel's aria whilst throwing her leg over her shoulders. So much great work, and quite simply a talented eight shows a week pro.

Just been on TodayTix to try and book for tonight and I see they are no longer doing Rush tickets. Very disappointing.
