Or maybe they have taken those off as allocation for a Today Tix discounts to push some tickets for a forthcoming promo? You’d hope they’d use the <100 quid seats for that in the circle though who knows. Guess they do need the stalls to look full! |

Glad i'm not the only one that has already done so, however also used the zorro 50% discount on todays tix just incase pirate queen doesn't discount or doesn't go ahead last minute. I presume with Rachel going to Broadway this may help sell a couple more tickets as a last chance to see her for a while however not really a fan of hers such a shame both Hadley and Stephanie are not repeating the roles |

Are there STILL no discounts for this? Both circles are basically completely unsold and as mentioned upthread they’ve already put the balcony off-sale.

I'd imagine they're trying to cover costs and thus can't discount really - it's been comped to hell so they need some people to pay

The rear half(ish) top price non premium (to the extend that that's a meaningful concept) suddenly disappeared from sale a couple of weeks ago. I assumed they hadn't suddenly sold 300 odd seats overnight! |

I still wonder if it might be cancelled. Once (if) costs are covered, it's barely gonna raise anything for charity at all. |

Rachel Tucker belting a score made famous by Stephanie J Block? Yeah, I'd say go for it

If this didn't clash with Zorro, and wasn't through the roof, then as said above I'd already have tickets by now!

Are there STILL no discounts for this As others have said, loads of rear / side dress down from £90 to £50 with offers. I sat there for both Sweeney and Bat, and the view is fine. I concur! (And am slightly annoyed to have already coughed up 90 quid for the privilege ;-)) |

See if you can listen to the score before buying. I saw the show, have the CD and don't think I've listened to it since i bought it. Still, it is for charity... |

Theres a couple of really nice numbers in the show two strong ballads and two beautiful duets however for me the rest of score was terrible. But i still want to go as it may work in context of the show. However i'm not a fan of sitting anywhere apart from the stalls so hoping out for the stalls to be reduced

I bought the CD years ago, purely as love Les Mis, Saigon and 2/3 of Martin Guerre.
It's ok. A few trademark lovely ballads but a lot of bland stuff. And much of it Gaelic inspired. Which isn't a style I like anyway (really don't like the Come From Away score for example).
TBO I wouldn't be going if was from different authors. But Les Mis and Saigon have given me so much pleasure over and over for 30 odd years; so feel I should see this the once, just to see how it sounds/works live. And the CD is pleasant enough. Just a bit unremarkable.
To complete the set, I wonder if we'll one day get a performance of La Revolution Francaise in England. I don't think it's ever been translated into English so probs not....

EP has just played Rachel Tucker's version of "Woman".
I'm not sure it's the kind of song you'd listen to over and over but Rachel sings it beautifully.

See this cast is now enough to sway me to go see it over Zorro.
But they need to lower their prices still, as I don't really want to pay more than £25...

There are still at least 50% of tickets left for Pirate Queen from what I can see, and although there is a deal on London Theatre Direct for £108 tickets for £50, that's only rear dress circle (although there is hardly anything sold in the dress circle, so maybe that will help). They'll have to start giving heavy discounts soon won't they? It's only two and half weeks away! I'm drawn to this for Rachel Tucker but have only heard one song, Woman, sung by SJB and don't know anything more about it so definitely won't be shelling out the big bucks.
