Just day seated. Got there about 9 15 and six in queue. By ten was about forty in queue. Lots of good seats available including front row. Will be much more chaotic tomorrow I guess! Oh damn I was gonna dayseat but am running late! I couldn't get rush, so hopefully something will still be there when I get there!

So funny story, went to the box office to see if there was any hope at all for a dayseat with a better view, and I kinda wanted to go to both shows today. Cut to now I have two front Stalls seats for both shows! Thrilled. So if anyone wants a £25 Royal Circle seat for the matinee today, let me know!

I see seats for the final four shows (not that there is many left at all!), are going fast. I think fans who thought they could get away with dayseat or Rush have started panicking a bit and buying up. I've had four different fans tell me they caved and brought an £82.50 seat because they didn't wanna miss the final show.

Just as A mention I really wouldn’t pin any hopes on rush and day seats tomorrow. I think they will all be gone in less than 5 minutes if it even takes that long.

Hi all,
Theatre Royal Drury Lane box office here. We thought we'd drop a note as apparently people have been saying there won't be day seats tomorrow and Today Tix won't have any, but just to put minds at rest we will be having our lovely day seats as normal tomorrow in various places across the whole auditorium. We have also give Today Tix their usual supply. And it's always worth coming to us just before the show if you miss out on any of these cheaper options, and we'll see what we can do for you at regular price.
We're really looking forward to seeing regular day seaters tomorrow morning (wrap up warm, the weather says it's going to be cold), and also welcoming our Today Tix and other personal callers too.
Let's make their last shows great ones.
Best wishes,
The DL team

Anywho, great two shows today! Lively audiences, especially the evening, with large responses especially to the opening and the staircase, where applause and cheering went on well into the enxt scene. Also cheering throughout the final tap number as well from some but all in good fun. Sunny Side was a bit of a mess. Once the song ended, Emma lit up like normal, but then Clare spoke and no light, then Ella's came on, then it was just a black out bar Emma who was reacting to darkness. From the front, you could hear the natural voice but with no mic, other than Emma's. Luckily it pulled itself together after the cast leave the dressing rooms.

Have fun everyone who is there tomorrow, looking forward to hearing all about both shows. To be honest I'm more interested in the matinee (if I could go to either I'd pick that one) than the evening show in terms of what happens during it, a nice report of all muck ups would be appreciated.

Was at both shows today and I found it really emotional. The atmosphere at the evening show was like a cast change so tomorrow should be incredible.

I thought the same of the evening show too, the room really did erupt after the staircase number, it was amazing! If tomorrow nights reaction is like that (which I imagine it will be even more), it will be incredible!

Philip is on as Pat for today's matinee. They must have been resting Matthew Goodgame as he was back on tonight and PB was back in to his usual role.

Yeah I prefer Philip in his usual track as Pat is only on a few minutes. He's definitely one of the standout dancers for me.

Did you also notice Joel came on at the opening of 42nd Street number with out his Beret? Had it back on when they all came on stage. I do like noticing these little hiccups. What a lovely audience and so appreciative. Nice to see almost a full house. Tomorrow will be emotional. Look forward to seeing the results of the Niftie Awards later x

Hi, I work at Drury Lane and will miss the show as much as you lot. 😢 It's been interesting reading all your comments over the past two years especially considering what the opinions were like at the beginning. It really is a wonderful show and this cast are going to go out with such love and appreciation ringing in their ears. I hope you all find other equally as wonderful shows to fill your matinee and evenings with or if not then maybe have slightly fuller bank balances. 😄 Just a few thoughts, though. To the guy who posted, Claire will not be upset that you commented about her pregnancy, she's pretty cool about things like that. You've been the hugest fan of the show from day one it would be a shame to let something like that spoil things. Thank you for your support.
There are NO private conversations at SD if you're surrounded by lots of other people. I know at least one of you actively hangs around and 'listens in' to get the goss to pretend that you're 'in the know' and also 'stalks', if I can use that word lightly, some of the cast and musicians, etc on their way home.
Lastly, has anyone noticed that the man who does the incessant, monotonous 'woo-woo' noise all the way through the show doesn't do one for Tom Lister in the curtain call? Why not? Everyone else gets one. 😕
Thank you for coming to see the show. It really is appreciated. We couldn't do it without you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
