I'm going through my emails and I'm finding it difficult to remember which tickets I've applied to get posted to me and which ones are box office collection.
In the coming weeks, I have CFA, Wicked, BoM and Les Mis.

But I have a feeling more will follow soon e.g. Six tour, Phantom tour, & Juliet. |

This is a great thread. It’s given me a kick up the backside to actually go through my ticket collection and emails and get my 2020 theatre calendar up to date before I start double booking myself (which frustratingly has been happening a bit too often recently).
So far, I’ve booked for 11 shows which are either Manchester or Liverpool based. I’ve also got Riverdance to look forward to in May on my birthday.
As for London stuff, surprisingly, I’ve only got 4 shows booked so far, with The Prince of Egypt and SITPWG as the musical offerings.

Made my first 2020 booking the other week - My Brilliant Friend at the NT. I had previously avoided booking much beyond October as I wasn't sure if I would still be living in London. Now that I know I am, I'm sure the bookings will start racking up!

Dear Evan Hansen on Jan 1st: a great way to start the new year!
Blood Brothers - Woking in March: still have a soft-spot for this, despite countless viewings!
Everyone’s Talking About Jamie - Woking in July
And if I can remortgage the house, sell the cat and bake a few cakes to sell then I just might raise enough money to book Sunday in the Park with George in London. Or it might be cheaper to just buy the Savoy.

Only one, Sierra Boggess. I don't like thinking that far ahead unless absolutely necessary!

I've got 68 more musicals to go in 2019(151 seen up to yesterday) though expect to exceed 250 by the end of the year. Only 13 bookings so far for 2020 but most amateur shows don't go on sale that far in advance and they account for about a third of mine.
Friend reckons it's an addiction but I say it's a passion and a wonderful way to enjoy my retirement and reduce the kids'inheritance. if I have the time, freedom and means to see a musical most evenings then I see no reason to slow down. Would be even more if I lived in London.

Nothing theatrical, the only thing I’ve got booked whatsoever for next year is New Order in Miami in January: the only thing theatre wise I’d be semi-interested in booking for is Sunday In The Park With George but as I’m seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in Sea Wall/A Life on Broadway next month I’m not particularly THAT bothered about booking for that 11 months in advance.

I mostly travel on my own by public transport, most times I don't interact with anyone and nothing much happens but I just love stage musicals. |

And a stars column to fill in afterwards so you can track what was good and what wasn't! |

Just the Phantom tour in Manchester and that's because my Mum booked it.

Just 2 musicals up to now, Phantom tour in Manchester and WWRY tour in Llandudno. Also Paul Carrack in concert in Llandudno which, if his show 2 years ago is anything to go by, will be brilliant.
Highly likely to do Jamie tour, again in Llandudno and hoping John Owen-Jones has another jaunt up North for one of his mini tours. Always a great night.

2020 - I appear to have booked really quite far into next year. How on earth did that happen? At least it's paid for now!
Theatres really are wanting our money earlier
My scores for 2020
2 Plays
4 operas
3 dance / ballet
2 musicals + I must also book Street Scene. But I'm waiting for other theatre announcements so I can twin my trip ooop North with something else.

The first of 2020 have just been booked. Trip to London in the new year - Come From Away, Waitress, Wicked and Six. I plan to book a couple more when I can e.g. Beautiful and Once tours.
