How To Survive At Runway having 3 reprises in Act 1 doesn't bode well... Why? The whole first act is literally about Andi trying to survive her new job. Flipping between wanting to quit, wanting to stay to prove a point, thinking she’s going to be fired and ultimately winning her bosses approval and being invited to Paris. If I remember rightly I’m pretty sure one of the reprises was just a couple of lines whilst a scene transitioned. Well it's not a very good song to begin with, so having it 4 times in an hour and a bit is a bit unnecessary... |

Oh ok that makes sense why I can’t see them anywhere, will just have to wait and see if they release more for later dates |

I expect they will sell them but who knows what price they will decide on. |

I expect they will sell them but who knows what price they will decide on. I have a feeling they might end up being day seats either through them or Rush as everything in the Dominion has been on Rush in the past, I would be surprised if it doesn’t end up there for this and looking at availability it seems like there is plenty of it after November |

Where is selling these Row A and B seats? I have looked on various sites over the past couple of months and not seen anything anywhere They just came on sale randomly last week. Front row on Saturday was £42.50 so snapped them up and have just been hoping the stage isn't like looking up at a skyscraper. Apparently, more will be put on sale in the coming weeks depending on how the audience react to how restricted the view is. |

Might anyone have heard about what days Vanessa will be off and her standby Debbie will appear as well as what date this rotation would start? Oddly for a while Debbie Kurup's bio and also cast credits on the Devil Wears Prada website has an asterisk (*) next to her name in different places, but no explanation about what it is for. I surmise it is to say what performances she will appears, but not added yet. I have seen Debbie in a number of shows and she is quite talented, but the lack of disclosure of very disappointing especially in light of the producer's legal statement on the website "The Producer cannot guarantee the appearance of any artist at any specific performance and reserves the right to substitute an alternate artist when required as a result of the indisposition, injury or illness of a member of the performing company of the production." It would be nice for the public to know when they can see Vanessa at the top prices being sought.

The pre show announcement is done by Emily live on stage and she does point to people in the audience and makes a quick scripted comment but it’s nothing more than that. |

I couldn’t spot any info either. |

Debbie's standby not alternate right?
Which means it'll be like Wicked and they'll just go on for sickness and holiday (and before someone makes the 'it's basically an alternate situ at Wicked' gag dont...)

I don’t imagine they will announce when she is on in advance. Except for Vanessa’s scheduled holidays

Well there we have it then - Debbie won't have scheduled shows and will go on as and when, as a standby does.

I do not think that is the case. An industry friend told me that Debbie will go on every week for certain performances on certain days (and possibly when Vanessa is on holiday). The show recently put out a press release about her being the Standby, but did not mention what dates. Usually people who cover a role just for sickness or holidays do not get their own press release. There are other shows which had the lead do the same thing when the role is especially demanding (I am sure some of you will think of ones that you know of). This practice goes back decades. When Lea Salonga was in Miss Saigon, Kam Chung played on Saturday matinees. |

Until they list Debbie as Miranda alternate or 'at certain performances' I'm gonna stick with the standard definition of standby, which is illness and holidays.
