Sleepless - A Musical Romance - Wembley Park Theatre

I have a smart phone but wouldn't have a clue how to do what they are asking patrons to do, so that would be interesting if I was going. Also, I never use my phone for anything financial. Behind the times, I know, but I am that sort of age.

Amazing, I love those see-through face masks.
It really seems they have thought of everything.

And the award for completely (and seemingly deliberately) missing the point goes to...

Some people are trying to make a genuine point about inclusivity and you are demeaning both the concept and the posters. Not clever, not funny and not acceptable.

I'm really not sure why I bother posting on this forum anymore.

I actually meant about having to scan the QR code to check into the theatre after having your temperature taken, I'm fully aware you can print out a ticket and they can scan that rather than a phone. Maybe there's a alternate option but it wasn't made clear in the video. Anyway, lets move on from this, hopefully we get reports about what the show was like soon. I saw it last year and it was alright, was a bit too far from the stage to properly enjoy it though.

Lots of press coverage for this.

I have seen it both on ITV and BBC1

Anyone know the running time please?

Enjoyed this tonight. It’s light and won’t challenge anyone, but so good to see live indoor theatre with a cast of 13.

I’ve only ever sat in the front row before so it seemed strange being in the cheap section. But rake is excellent with a clear view (and no one in front).

I was surprised they had people to the front and rear of me only one seat over. Seemed a lot less than a metre.

Masks were enforced although I saw a few people remove them during the interval and they weren’t challenged by the ushers.

Good performances by the leads and some nice vocals. The child actor (names weren’t obvious) stole the show.

The book has a few jokes but they don’t really hit. Pulled directly from the film I suspect (which I barely remember). The second half is better than the first. This would probably work better without an interval. Ran a few minutes longer than advertised.

Staging is clever with a house that turns around used in different orientations for most scenes. The stage extends further than usual. There are also tables on the floor used for one scene.

Pretty full tonight (even with social distancing) and doing well considering how early in the run this is. Don’t know if I’ll get back but I’d certainly watch this again in a future incarnation.

19:45 start, finished about 22:10. I would say the 22:35 was impossible and I wouldn't even have risked a 23:05 as you're completely the wrong side of London for Waterloo.

Any chance of changing to the matinee?

Only other option I can think of (perhaps) would be the overground to Clapham Junction and connect there, but that all depends where you're heading from Waterloo.

There are some very cheap hotels in Wembley right now too (Travelodge, Ibis etc).

Booked for Sunday matinee next week looking forward to live theatre again .... any good and it’s a bonus lol ... weren’t many 2s to choose from sadly .... but did notice some 3s and 4 s with one ticket sold ? But when I tried to book 2 in a 3 wouldn’t allow it .... wonder if it would work better like showcase cinemas do it u just book your seats then it automatically blanks out the seats around you ?
Theatre says use public transport we’ve got no chance doing that what’s parking like ?

I was tempted to drive when I went there earlier this year but it was an event day, next Sunday isn't as far as I can tell. I thought you could park in the stadium car parks for cheaper if nothing is on www.troubadourtheatres.com/wembley-park/parking however maybe the car parks are currently closed? Doesn't look like they are though but I've only spent a couple of minutes looking into it www.wembleyofficialparking.com/nonevent/index

Thanks everyone .... from looking further looks like theatre recommend Wembley red or yellow car parks on non event days ... may call the theatre and just check before ... as I’ve got a 220 mile round trip .... and don’t know the area
