Doctor Zhivago In Concert - Palladium 2023

Do you reckon it will get cheaper. Not crazy about what I’ve heard so far of the score from the theatre cafe performance but I’d love to see and hear Ramin live and of course Celinde is always a treat too. This is certainly tempting

I doubt it'll get any cheaper, I've never seen anything for Cadogan Hall at less than £15. I just want to hold out for a better seat though as it's currently offering level with the stage so would be very side-on.

I don't believe they do day seats. If you don't mind the side view, the £15 ones on TodayTix will be fine. I may have to go to the £25 ones on Cadogan's website if no other cheap ones pop up anywhere.

Thanks guys, I'll have a think. It seems like such a lovely venue, going to see Cinderella there in October. I suppose you can't be too demanding for £15 and a side view should be fine for a semi staged show.

If you’re coming tonight, buy a programme when you get here if you want one! They’ve sold out of the matinee allocation by the interval. Quite a few disappointed people!

OMG!!!! It was stunning! Standing ovation all around. Strongly recommended.

Still plenty of tikets left for the evening performance. You would not want to miss it. The actress who played Tanya(Tonya?) was outstanding. I was in tears.

Wow anyone going this evening is in for a huge treat, that was incredible. Very sweet all the little girls who were having their photo taken with Celinde at stage door.

Took me about 15 mins to get into the format as i’ve never seen a semi staged concert before and they’re not off book which i’ve also not seen but of course it’s totally understandable as there are only 2 performances. Once I was into it I was completely hooked.

Really disappointed I couldn’t get a program this afternoon. Bit stupid not selling people them when they had the boxes of programs under the desk. Hope no one wants them this evening and they are left with loads they can’t sell!

They must have massively underestimated demand as the place wasn’t full this afternoon and it’s not like I saw loads of people carrying them round with them. Isn’t this the first major thing Ramin’s done on stage since he came back to the UK? You'd think they’d know his fans would want a memento/something for him to sign...? 

Also there was such a queue to get in - I barely made it to the ladies’ in the basement, then back up to stalls, before the concert started - so there was definitely no time to buy beforehand. :-(

Really upset with myself that I didn’t book for this. Do we think this concert may prompt a fully staged version somewhere?

Well, I loved that. Count me as another one who would happily have stayed for the evening had circumstances allowed.

I've been listening to this score since the first clips from the pre-Broadway production surfaced on YouTube (just checked and that was 2006, good grief how time flies!) Having been disappointed in the past with things that I've anticipated so much, part of me was a little wary - but no need. I've been a fan of Ramin's since Miss Saigon and he was every bit as good as expected, and the rest of the cast also lived up to that. I've never seen Celinde Schoenmaker before, but hope I will again, I thought she was glorious. Charlie McCullagh was excellent as Pasha/Strelnikov (and had some of us in the central stalls trying to remember what he'd been wearing in act one and figure out why he looked different after the interval) - one to watch, I feel.

The queues trying to get in were a pain - then as I was finally going in to the auditorium I realised they'd given me someone else's ticket as well as mine so I had to head back down to the box office. Fortunately I was there in enough time to do so - I hope the ticket made its way to its correct owner in the end.
