does anyone have any clue about seats for this? i saw school of rock a couple of times in side seats and they were great value but i’m looking at refurb pictures and pictures of the set and it looks like you could miss quite a lot from the side seats so i’m really debating what to book 😩 I have the same concerns but ALL the seats in the front moveable block are being sold later in the run (post previews) at around £99/£109 so I'm assuming they should be good ones on the side, considering the uniform price? |

Series 3 of ‘Killing Eve’ was to the same standard as the first two, and refreshingly introduced new characters and situations to keep it fresh. She could be a one trick pony, but it’s a good trick and she knows how to use it well. Totally disagree about 'Killing Eve'. Having loved Series 1 and quite enjoyed Series 2, I found Series 3 completely tedious - it became a chore to watch, and whilst it didn't become style over substance it felt like the focus had moved to visual set pieces and gimmicky twists at the expense of storytelling. I thought the through line of the series became confused and meandering and I gave up caring about any of the characters. There were some good moments, and she's definitely brilliant at writing clever dialogue both witty and emotion-driven, but I found the overall storytelling loose and messy. I do highly rate her work usually, though, and loved Promising Young Woman. So there's potential there for it to be brilliant. A musical can be a difficult beast to master even for the most experienced writers though - just look at Jennifer Saunders' attempt in Viva Forever. I was quite shocked that Series 4 is going to be a thing, I thought it would end on S3! |

Hi. First post here (after a long time lurking). Thought I’d point out that Emerald Fennell was in charge of S2 of Killing Eve, i.e. one of the good ones, not the third one (which is when it all went pear shaped).
I too am surprised they’re carrying on with it...

Wow, that’s even better news. Series 2 was my favourite.

I too am surprised they’re carrying on with it... I'm with danb, then and take back my criticism (of her, not of series 3!) That's a very good sign, and makes sense as that was up to her usual standards. |

Accidentally or on purpose ALW revealed a snippet of a new number on an unrelated video

Good spot! I was hoping we might get another song before it opens, but that seems doubtful now.

Good spot! I was hoping we might get another song before it opens, but that seems doubtful now. Full cast recording comes out on the 25th! There was a video posted on Andrews Instagram. Of a song from the show. called it’s called the vanishing of the 3 witch. |

Ooh, which post please? I've compared it with what I can see of the 'hidden' song list in this tweet and I'm guessing it's 13 (although I think it might be "Vanquishing", rather than "Vanishing").

This tweet has a good picture of the map, and there is a Sea Witch lookout. I'll be interested to see how that's weaved in — I don't think of Cinderella with any links to the sea!

I’ll be equally interested to see how they work Hunk’s Gymnasium into the show. Presumably that’s where the “pneumatic choirboys” come into into play.
I’ve only really taken notice of this show in the past couple of weeks, but it sounds completely nuts in a way that makes me really want to see it.

Far Too Late has just appeared on Apple Music. It's my favourite of the ones so far — some gorgeous sweeping strings.

Not very impressed. The Cinderella songs I've heard so far just seem to meander, but never build up to a proper bang the way his old major hits like Memory or Don't cry for me Argentina did.

“Meanderella”?
“Cinder-meh-la”?

I have faith that this is going to be good. He seems to have a different sort of energy about it than the previous ‘best things he’s ever done’. There seems to be a different level of investment and enthusiasm. Or maybe all the Covid delays have given them time to hone any rubbish bits. Either way I’m really looking forward to it. Can anyone remember when my booking has moved to? 🙂

I may have a spare ticket to offer if Boris keeps the EU on the Amber List all summer...

I’ll feel sick enough from the smell of the left over pies from ‘Waitress’ that they’ve rebranded to try & sell off in another of his theatres. (They won’t keep to sell at BTTF); let alone being thrown around by twirly seating. If I have to put up with the whiff of Hawaiian Tropic from Hunks I may be bilious. |

Those pies didn’t half pong didn't they?
I remember having a wander around the foyer area at the interval watching people buy them. It was fascinating to see their faces changed from childlike excitement to a WTF is THIS? upon taking the first bite.

I’m starting to think this is all going to pull together and not only work, but become the hit ALW has been searching for. [br School Of Rock was a hit both sides of the Atlantic. It got 4 and 5 star reviews across the board? Cinderella seems to be a different vibe. I’m hearing Woman In White Maria Friedman vibes in some of these songs. Sounds like panto based on the released Belleville map but the orchestrations sound lovely 😊 |

The last photo in that set looks uncannily like the scene in &Juliet where they’re queuing up outside the nightclub...
