Great news. This show was too cramped in the Donmar space, but 6 months is very ambitious.

Interesting that the Garrick is getting back to back musicals with this and The Drifters Girl although I'm not sure how the latter will do as it's also doing a long run at 20 weeks.

Wait mrbarnaby does this mean Vanessa Williams was secondary star casting or they managed to persuade her?! I don’t know a lot about this musical and didn’t see it back in 2014 but I like the look of the cast 👍

Always loved the score and saw it at the Donmar. 2020 starting to look like another busy and expensive year.

Really pleased with this! I was hoping that the rumbling was true, as I missed the Donmar production, and all I heard was good about it! Fab to see so much of the old cast returning, with the added addition of Vanessa Williams!

Completely painless booking for this, managed to get the seats and performances I wanted, and sorted my Evita ticktes at the same time in another window. I'm so glad that it's coming back, I loved it at the Donmar!

Row A is closest to stage currently on sale and I've just booked a seat there but I note there are two rows of seats further forward on the seating plan, AA and BB.
Can anyone advise (theatremonkey?) how likely it is that they will be added later ?

I looked at tickets just after 10 and there were loads, now each show looks the same, so it looks like a lot of tickets have been allocated out already! Might wait till a bit closer to the time to get tickets, with it being a slightly longer run!

Just booked E17 in the Upper Circle for £20 on March 6th - seemed not to be restricted too much based on SeatPlan reviews

An FYI for anyone wanting to book the first preview - it's March 5th but weirdly not on sale yet. I've called the Garrick and Nimax customer service this morning and haven't been given a concrete answer as to why tickets are only on sale from the 6th so will just be keeping an eye on the site!

Can't book until I know a bit more about where I'm going to be next year, but I'm certainly not going to miss this. And I may very well see it more than once, it's probably my favourite Cy Coleman score.

I've booked F1 in the stalls for August. Don't mind missing a little bit of the side. Now, I'll have to dig out my old cassette of the original WE soundtrack!

I'm not in a massive hurry to see this as I wasn't blown away by at the Donmar. I'll wait for offers

I loved this at the Donmar, what wonderful news it’s coming back! Vanessa Williams is clever casting: the Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives fans will surely take note. I wonder if a cast recording might happen?

As much as I hate the Garrick, I booked to see this again because it was lovely.

This show has been on general sale since at least 10 am but TodayTix sent me an email just before midday claiming to have an "exclusive Pre-sale" !
Dubious marketing in my opinion.

Any idea why this transfer has taken so long?

It doesn't seem like it's maybe supposed to be officially on sale yet? I've searched for City of Angels tickets on Google which for any other show would bring the official booking page up as the first option but the only way I could find booking for this is to search for the theatre website and find the show on there. Anything else I searched brought up articles about it coming back but they all seem to say booking will be on sale soon and there's no link to the booking website on any of them as far as I can tell.

There’s a website for the show that has the booking link (and first thing this morning the page said that booking would open at 10am). It’s on the Nimax front page too

It's on sale via Nimax online, therefore it is officially on sale. They're just being pushed down by Google's ranking, they'll probably start putting some cash into it to have the ticket page at the top of Google soon.

Obviously they're available to be bought right now but all the articles about the announcement say that tickets go on sale soon or November 4th so maybe there's been some mistake or miscommunication unless it means on sale through their own store rather than the official one.

Booked row A in the stalls and hope this IS the front row...but somehow doubt it.
Booked via link in the email I got from Nimax, but read on a newssite that tickets go on sale Monday...bit weird.
Never seen the show and only know that one song, but it's Rosalie Craig, so...

Such a wonderfully complex, yet rarely performed musical.
This is exciting!
