Hello, just wondering what time the show finishes - as I'm booking transport at the moment. My train is at 22:30 from London St. Pancras. Do you think I'll have time to get out of the theatre, through the Tube, and to the train on time (I'm a fast walker!). I know it seems silly, but it'd be a really great help  I comfortably made a 22.40 train from St Pancras after the first preview. However I was sat on an aisle and I didn't have to wait long for the Victoria Line. Whilst 22.30 is doable, it is tight. |

Typical that I cracked and bought a ticket last week and won the lottery this.
Lottery offering good mid stalls seats, it’s a nice deal for the price.
Going next week, looking forward to it from all the pleasant reviews here.

The Victoria Line was not running the other day after the show due to a casualty, luckily I could use the Bakerloo instead but giving yourself leeway is crucial if you have a certain train to catch. |

I also won the lottery, but not going to use it. PM if you'd like the link, there's still a fair amount of seats left.

Is there a brochure and a programme, or is it a combo situation?
Also from photos i cant work out, is the programme a4 size or one of those oversized ones?

Its a glossy combined one, although photos are just rehearsal shots rather than production images at the mo. Guess they may do an updated one later in the run. And it’s a bit bigger than A4, more like a concert programme than a theatre one. |

Wow, row A even with that gap between stage and audience is the splash zone... all I could think of in that second act dance is Imelda probably trying not to flinch as she's drenched in other people's sweat!
Really cheap looking screen at the back and glitchy video looping is the only problem with this production. Everything is PHENOMENAL!
For those in Row A-D this is probably going to be a highlight of your year.

I enjoyed it. The second act is phenomenal. So long Dearie is where Dame Imelda really whacks the audience over the head with her talent. But I didn’t love it. I saw a production of Dolly with a phenomenal Janie Dee in the title role. I missed that full out all American MT feel. But I know that I will be in the minority. It’s a very classy Production with great choreography. And for me Emily Langham is a standout.

Being as I’m now back in the UK and still haven’t seen this, I’ve risked Stalls C6 for £20 on Thursday. Hopefully there’s just enough visible, or at the very least, I catch a glimpse of Biggins. I’m sure I’ll be back with a better seat later in the run.
