Will and Grace is massive almost everywhere in the world - they'll be using that in all the marketing.
And the tickets that already are on sale through London Theatre Direct will have fees in the prices, so I don't imagine that they will be quite how high the tickets are (it won't be a lot cheaper but maybe a little)

Will and Grace. She was in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with Matthew Broderick. She can sing dance and act. She has an amazing voice.She was the OBC of Young Frankenstein. She was very good in the role.

The show does not appeal but I'll go to see her, so it's having the desired effect on me.

Must admit have heard of Megan, but not seen anything she has been in or could I name anything and not sure if she is a big pull for the British , but I may be wrong on that. For next year i would have thought a British name may have been better as we are unlikely to be getting many US tourists. She’s pretty well known.. I've just googled her and this is after years of watching W&G. Whoops! Anyway, I've bought 30 squid, partially restricted view, A5&A6, upper circle. They are good seats - I used to work there.

Even though I'm a big fan of Will & Grace I also had to Google Megan as I was not 100% sure of her name. I can only see tickets on sale from London Theatre Direct and the decent seats are pretty pricey. I will go but probably hold fire a bit on booking.
I don't really know the seating set up and think I've only been there once in my life. Anyone know what stalls legroom is like? I need an aisle seat because of a dodgy knee but there is no centre aisle. Means I'd an end of row seat and I'm worried it might be a restricted view.

Might be me, but cannot seem to find any tickets for sale on the Barbican website. Have they not been released yet?
Thanks :-)

Thanks :-) I don't think they're on the Barbican website yet, just the link in that first tweet to the production's own website. Don't worry, I did the same thing and it took me a second to find the link amongst all the others in those tweets (anythinggoesmusical.co.uk to save you looking).

London Theatre Direct selling tickets without fees(!) £150, £120, £95, £75 and some lower prices. But basically, nothing less than these prices in the stalls anywhere near the front.
I'll wait for the Barbican pricing.

I booked through the link with the tweet. Tons of availability in all areas and no booking fees. Edit. Just checked the barbican twitter feed and no mention of it. Can't they even muster the energy for a retweet?

Megan Mullally also plays Tammy 2 in Parks and Rec (odd name but frequently reoccurring charecter), playing an ex-wife of lead Ron Swanson, who ironically is played be her real life partner Nick Offerman. Is she is over he, will he join her over here? His one man show did well in the US, and I'd love to see him.
More on topic, have wanted to see Anything Goes for years but at those prices? Nope. Can't think after this year how anyone who works in the arts could actually afford them to be honest.

I tried to book direct with the Barbican where I have an account and have attended several shows in the last couple of years. The website suggests logging in to access priority booking but doing so just generates a message that I am not eligible to book till Monday.
Seems a strange marketing ploy to allow agencies to sell tickets, presumably with a commission, before the venue itself but so it goes. I'm okay with the £75 front row stalls price and it might be a bit less direct from the Barbican. Their website refers to tickets from £25 but there's nothing under £30 from the ticket agencies at present.

I'll wait for the Barbican pricing. Those are the weekend prices, mid-weeks are £125, £95, £80, £60, £45 and £30. Still high but marginally better.

She was very good in the role. And my question has been answered! If she can indeed sing and dance then I will definitely be going to this - she always was the best thing about Will & Grace!

I got the same message but then when I tried to log in afterwards it said that accounts made after Feb 4th need to reset their passwords so I don't know if maybe that has something to do with it? Might be worth resetting your password and checking again just in case but it could just be that priority might only be available to the highest tier members.

Thanks for the tip, I just tried a new password. but same "not eligible for priority booking" message unfortunately. I've had an account there since well before Feb 4th anyway. It's a long run at a venue that's not the easiest to get to, so I'm confident of getting the seat I want (centre of front row stalls) in the general on-sale.

She's also on the 2005 recording of How To Succeed...She's great as the wide-eyed Rosemary Pilkington. Highlyrecommended!

Yeah I wasn't planning to book today anyway and I doubt I'll have to much trouble getting tickets, just wanted to check if the pricing on the Barbican website was any different (though I think it was actually accounts that were made before 4th that needed to reset and I just wrote that wrong by accident).

Anyone who has booked, is it socially-distanced seating or full capacity?

Well this is exciting casting! I’m a huge fan of Will & Grace. Just googling her credits and you forget just how many amazing shows she’s been in (and I’m shocked at in her 60s, she didn’t look it at all on the W&G revival). So this will be her stage musical in 26 years then?

Megan has extensive musical theatre experience. She did many musicals in Chicago in the eighties, 3 Broadway musicals and many minor shows around LA over the years. Had to turn down quite a few musical roles during Will and Grace. As a teen she was a soloist with Oklahoma City Ballet and in recent years done choreography and dancing with her band Nancy and Beth. Think she'll be pretty amazing in this.
