I just managed to get centre of stalls row BB for £32.50 for April via todaytix as part of the London theatre week offer. Could have had 2nd row of dress for the same price too! bargain! I never realised you could book that far in advance on todaytix and get discounts

Are the projections a major part of it or not Not really. They were all over the walls too at the Donmar, so you won't miss anything. That's odd. I didn't say or post that! That was theatre241. I have no idea how the quote function made that change! |

Thanks for the TodayTix advice. I'm going April as well as August. It's my second favorite musical.

Managed to get tickets for this through the TodayTix offer! Row A 9-10, for a Monday evening! Really looking forward too it, my partner saw it at the Donmar, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it and ticking it off the list!

Just in case anyone’s interested, there’s £20 front row tickets available for a lot of performances now 😊
Sorry hadn’t noticed this had previously been mentioned!

I feel like Stine and Stone the way I’m going backwards and forwards with myself as to whether to go with front row or O7 for this. Both £20.....it's a tough life!!!

I was a bit like this but I just went for front row because you can hear the actors voice so clearly without microphones and normally it’s all more louder front row, I don’t think you can beat being so close to them even if you might miss a few seconds then it’s still worth being so close in my opinion |

It's quite the good-looking cast, front row will probably be lovely! 😍

There are big tall terrible giants in front of me When you're in your seat and you look ahead At the stage you face and a view that's dead Little more than a glance is enough to show you Just how small you are" P.S. This American giant (6 feet, 6 inches tall) does apologize if he is in front of you at any performance during his theatre visit the first week of April. I'll slouch as best I can. |

Right there with you - I'm 6'6" too and always feel guilty for anyone behind me! I do try to scooch down in my seat as much as possible though, I promise 😀

However it's not just the height, but some people have the nerve to be tall and broad, too LOL |

I think seats should be allocated by height with all the tall people at the back and going forward by height until at the short ones are at the front.
Bit like a school photo.

If that's happening, then short people shouldn't be allowed to book seats with more legroom 😉😂

I almost always turn to the people behind me before the show begins and ask them to let me know if I can do anything to help with their view. I've convinced myself that this mere gesture makes them hate me less lol. |

It's quite the good-looking cast, front row will probably be lovely! 😍 I think Nicola Roberts looks fantastic these days. She was always the best singer in Girls Aloud but I recall some very unkind criticism about her appearance and demeanour back in the day. Hopefully the male cast are all equally appealing. |

I hadn't realised all the cast were not doing the whole run as I will miss some of them when I see it in June.
From 30 March Rosalie Craig will not perform the role of Gabby/Bobbi on Monday evenings.
Theo James, Rosalie Craig and Rob Houchen will be in the show until 30th May
Nicola Roberts and Vanessa Williams will be in the show until 25th July

Nicola was given a ridiculously hard time whilst in Girls Aloud. As a fan from day one, watching her grow in confidence and start to own her own image was great as it was the ultimate FU to everyone. |

Theo James, Rosalie Craig and Rob Houchen will be in the show until 30th May Nicola Roberts and Vanessa Williams will be in the show until 25th July I know it’s a bit unfair, but that many names all in one project at the same time is still quite the feat. I get that they’re not a-listers, but they aren’t usually short of work either and are all successful in their own right too. Originally I felt that it all felt a bit hobbled together in the hope tickets would sell (and wasn’t there rumours of a big name having dropped out?), but actually they’re vocally talented and proven actors (Nicola aside) so it should work out rather well... if not brilliantly. Except for The Garrick. It’s a lovely old theatre, but hold onto your drinks when the trains pass underground. There’s charm in the whole shabby cheapness of the place though, but when I’m there I can’t help but think the rent must be cheaper than in other venues. |

I've booked 30th March, so that means we'll miss Rosalie!  We booked through TodayTixs, has anyone ever needed/changed date when booked through them? If so who would be the best people to speak to? I'd just like to swap to another day if possible, so we don't miss Rosalie! |

^Trying to work out the different combinations of who is on and when and who is leaving when,is frankly too much for my tiny brain. Still haven’t booked yet as I am torn by the said convoluted combinations.We don’t yet know who might come in on the cast changes so I might wait a while.

Still haven’t booked yet as I am torn by the said convoluted combinations. I would say you'll be safe as long as you avoid Monday before the end of May, and you should get most of the cast! Its after that it looks like you'd struggle, I just opted for what looked a quieter day, not realising Mondays were an 'Off Day' for Rosalie! |
