The entire cast were on top form tonight too. Apparently Oatti Lupone was in the audience too? According to a staff member.

No no, it wasn't Patti at Sunset, it was her sister Oatti.

Finally saw this Saturday afternoon. Beautifully, beautifully directed - loved the "Perfect Year" and montage staging. Thanks to whoever suggested the limited edition print, too. Exquisite souvenir. I got 76 / 100, so my guess is they must sell about 5 per show. C29 stalls. You miss only a bit of the Desmond balcony, but at the end, if she stands in the wrong place, a couple of lines come from behind a pillar. Still, great value seat. My daughter bought the last signed print tonight. All gone. Think they seriously underpriced them, as they're only half way through the run. Also ran out of mugs after their delivery yesterday!. ENO are missing out on a fortune here! Stalls D1-2 a great deal at the price. At the interval I asked the house manager to have someone keep an eye on the row behind as there had been some commotion. Moved us to Box D. Now that was the perfect seat. Wonderful customer service. He also spoke to the noisy folks asking them to be respectful! Box 5 would have been even better... Oops, wrong show! (Glad to hear Stalls D2 is ok; that's where I'll be in a couple if weeks.) |

(Glad to hear Stalls D2 is ok; that's where I'll be in a couple if weeks.) D1 is end of row so way access. Misses VERY little except some running up and down the stairs near Joe's bedroom. D2 misses even less. Good legroom in both. |

No no, it wasn't Patti at Sunset, it was her sister Oatti. Guess who has just taught himself how to edit a post? Patti was in NY. As was her understudy, Oatti! Off topic. Anyone know why iPhone autocorrects Patti to Oatti which isn't even a real word??? |

Phatti, I could understand... Perhaps she was in the audience?

Nooooooooooooooooooo
I need a print AND a mug and I am not going again until Bank Holiday Monday.
Really hope they get some more mugs made.
I am sure there is a snappy snaps just up the road, so maybe they could run off a few

I'm going the day after tomorrow so it's not looking good for me either, as I wanted a mug at the very least. Poop.

Are you sure it isn't an iPone? (Ringtone: Patti sings "There's been a call, what did I say...") No no, it wasn't Patti at Sunset, it was her sister Oatti.

Isn't Rea a stronger singer?
Lots of peed of punters. Understudy, an old C&A mannequin and some scaffolding pretending to be a set

Wish I was there. Would love to see another Norma. Wouldn't be surprised if this is her first and only show.

Sorry, I think I mean tonight. Just seen it on Facebook. Thanks, could be interesting to see her. Glenn's voice wasn't that good the day I went and it could be nice to see Ria. May have to go and get myself a nice £12 seat. |

Glenn's voice definitely needed a rest on Tuesday night!! I'm not surprised, the woman is nearly 70! She's up and down those stairs night after night like a Weston-super-Mare donkey. I'd need a break myself and I'm just a *shade* over 21. A mere child. |

People would feel super upset if they found out Glen Close wasn't on especially if they had paid over £100 for a seat

Lots of peed of punters. Understudy, an old C&A mannequin and some scaffolding pretending to be a set But you still get Michael Xavier in a pair of trunks so every cloud . . . . Plus, I imagine Ria is good value. This might be her only chance of showing off her Norma so she'll no doubt give it some welly and manage to give Mr X a quick feel up too if she's lucky. |

I'd need a break myself and I'm just a *shade* over 21. A mere child. Im sure Stenna would happily supply and install a stairlift for a bit of free advertising. I kept thinking when I saw it that any minute she would trip on one of those flowing frocks and go a** over t*t |
