Pretty Woman - Piccadilly / Savoy / Tour

Did anyone go tonight and have the understudy list?

I thought this was had potential tonight. Organised, started almost on time and finished by 10pm.

Yes, the sets are nothing special. Some parts of the set reminded me of Mamma Mia. I haven't seen this on Broadway to compare it.

The two leads are excellent and the music was better than expected. The whole show is rather cheesy and Act One is much stronger than Act Two. Very few laughs in the second half (or things that worked in the US weren't working in the UK).

I was two rows from the back of the Stalls in the "cheap" seats and the rake was horrible. Missed a big chunk of the stage as there was no way to see around the (average height) woman in front. But it didn't matter too much for this show.

The audience was well-behaved, but the many people working for the production were a distraction. I had a woman taking notes sat next to me, she did try to not disturb anyone but had to keep checking her phone screen, which was set at maximum brightness. Several noticeable conversations behind too, mostly from the sound desk, who clearly hadn't got the timing and sound balance right yet. For the first few songs, the band way overpowered the vocals. Luckily it's a very easy story to understand.

For the Danny Mac fans, you get a brief glimpse of his nipples, but it's covered up in a tasteful fashion very quickly. The only full topless body you see is one of the male ensemble.

Very surprised for a first preview that it took a long time for the audience to get on their feet. Not until the two leads and then it took about 30 seconds to get everyone up.

Then, to finish, they sing about half of Pretty Woman, but you can't hear the vocals as everyone claps in whatever pattern works for them.

I would like to see it again from near the front, but I'm not desperate to go and I'll happily wait until the prices drop. I did quite enjoy it, but it just wasn't one of those special memorable nights that first previews often are.

A red Rose indeed on every seat tonight. Stalls C24 and I blooming loved this! Lots of comedy elements, super cast! I'd need to hear the songs again (and you better believe I'm planning another visit). I was madly entertained.

And you. I did the same trawl for tickets when I got back to my hotel ... figured front row might be nice. £175?!! You’ve got to be kidding! Really enjoyed the show though - for second preview (and first last night from up in the gods), it’s in brilliant shape. I will be back... but maybe front row of the top deck again!

Who is asking how high is the stage? It's low. Front row would, I imagine, be perfect head height. There are a couple of scenes where each main lead is lying on the floor and in 3rd row I struggled to see their faces.

Bob Harms as Happy Man (and other roles - no spoilers) was superb. Alex Charles as the bell boy - also superb. Their scenes together we're joyous.

I adore the cast soundtrack..Been playing it loads...Redeo drive rocks!

This... absolutely.

Yay! I'm not the only one! There next sat pm...I think Pretty women is gonna be this years 9 to 5...

Haha, definitely not the only one! I am booked to see in August.
Let us know what your thoughts are once you've seen it!

I listen to Heart radio every morning and they're advertising this show saying that it's playing for a limited run.

As my parents are visiting from abroad in July my sister wants to take my mother to see it, so I went down to the theatre on Saturday to determine exactly how long this limited run is; we don't want to run the risk of finding that it's not running by the time the folks arrive and the woman at the box office said that it was selling really well- in fact there was a sign stating Sold Out- and the it will run till (at least) January 2021.

Does anyone know if Danny Mac has any holidays planned, I’d hate to spend a lot to see an understudy, no matter how good that guy may be.
