"Good things often come to those who wait" seems like an old adage that might apply to tickets for this show.

Do we know how long Bernadette/Lea are staying with the show? They’ve said more casting will be announced but are people going to wait to buy until that’s sorted out and announced?

Well, I originally had confirmation of priority sign up, but no email link. I have double checked everything, deleted items, spam etc. Oh well, probably couldn't afford tickets anyway.

The prices are shocking. I hope sales are bad so they reduce them, this is daylight robbery.

Are we just used to bad pricing that I thought prices for this were reasonable?

Feels a bit like we all fall prey to price anchoring over time. Once a price (range) gets "anchored" in our minds, anything less than that seems like a "deal."
On Broadway right now, a lot of the deals are about the same as what once were the top price ranges (before premium seats)

For a stage filled with multiple theater stars, Oliver winners, Tony Winners, etc its not a bad price. For those in the US, I did the conversion and the 125 pound ticket is $151. You can't see a hot broadway show with that number of stars for under 200-250...plus it is an event to hear those stars sing those songs. |

Let's hope they don't balls up the last number like the BBC did.

Oh how lovely! Particularly looking forward to being an emotional wreck whenever Not a Day Goes By hits on my shuffle!
That comma between Julian and Bernadette is bothering me more than it should.

That comma between Julian and Bernadette is bothering me more than it should. It’s terribly pedantic, but now you’ve pointed that out I can’t help noticing the spaces between the names and the bullet points. Julia McKenzie doesn’t have one, but I think Janie Dee has two. 😂 |

Not to mention that Anna-Jane Casey and Rob Bryson aren't in the correct alphabetical order.
Proof reading - what's that?!

At this rate I guess we should just be impressed they managed to list Michael D. Xavier under X and not D.

Let's hope they don't balls up the last number like the BBC did. It will have been the producers that did that, not the BBC. There was a set timeslot the programme needed to fit in and the team editing and producing the final 'programme' will have had to make choices to get it inside a given duration. The production team likely underestimated the full duration without considering credits and got caught short leading to a decision to have to trim somewhere and the easiest option would be to fade out the end rather than try hack a song in the middle up. |

Considering everything I had to go through to afford a ticket for the concert (I’ll spare the sordid details, but suffice to say it involved a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and a slipper as pure as gold), the least they could do is proof read the artwork! Let’s hope if it’s getting a CD release it hasn’t gone to the printers yet…
Incidentally, speaking of Cameron taking all my money, whatever happened to the “Stephen Sondheim Foundation” that the original concert was in aid of? As I recall, it hadn’t been set up in time so CML was supposedly safeguarding the money until it had been set up, but a quick google seems to find the only references to the Foundation being in articles about the concert…

It will have been the producers that did that, not the BBC. Indeed the BBC didn't make the programme. It was made by Cameron Mackintosh International and the main producer was Cameron himself (David Dolman, CM's Marketing Director is credited as Film Co-Producer, Thomas Schönberg as Executive Producer) |

This doesn't seem to be selling significantly. Still "good availability" for most performances.
Do we think people are waiting for the performance schedule to see when Peters and Salonga are on?
Or just waiting for ticket offers?!

Or just waiting for ticket offers?! It is expensive isn't it. Premium £150 and nearly all the stalls £125! |

In an office somewhere a Producer will be looking at sales, scratching their head and come to the conclusion Sondheim's old hat and the crowds aren't interested any more. They'll posit cutting the run short and decide what it needs is more shows like Six and we'll be waiting a long while until anything Sondheim comes back to Wendy-land. When in fact, if the prices weren't as egregious they'd be looking at much greater demand. |

These producers don't really understand the public/consumer behaviour as well as they think they do, do they? (and it's being advertised "to buggery"!...on my social media at least!) |

I saw the concert on TV. Enjoyed a lot of it, although I think they could have dropped a couple of other numbers to have included at least one number from Anyone Can Whistle and Assassins.
Do I want to see it again? Not especially. But certainly not at those sorts of prices? And Peters' voice ain't what it once was.
