If they wanted to raise more money for Wicked Day they could easily do something similar over here. I'm honestly surprised they hadn't, and that there wasn't more 'experiences' included in the Wicked Day sale. SaveSave

I just managed to get a £29 ticket for my birthday in September - when I checked yesterday the cheapest tickets they had for that date (19th) was around £50.

Isn't it just certain places that are £30 - the one in London is - as I know the one in Belfast is only £22.50? When you go through all the lists it gives you just the standard tickets for sale - unless I'm missing something It looks like the Meet & Greet tickets are £30 regardless of venue, plus the price of the concert ticket itself which varies depending on venue. As much as I love Rachel, I'd rather spend the extra £30 on seeing another show (or two).

I think the venues just have different prices, for example in The Apex, Bury St Edmunds, their prices are £20 and £26 depending on the seats.

I've clearly missed it, but do you guys know roughly when the cast change will be? 22 July Ah okay, obviously when I'm not in uni I'll have to wait until September to see the new cast

I can't believe I missed getting decently priced tickets for this - I was flying home and couldn't get the wifi to work at the airport 😪 I'll either have to hope for returned tickets or pay for whatever's left😕 I just checked and all the dates say 'sold out' 😒 I just had a look and most dates showed as "limited availability" to me apart from previews. I think it's the way my account is set up, I have one of those student accounts or whatever that get you the £5 tickets and £10 'mate rates' tickets

I'd love to see this come to the UK 🙈, especially with most/some of the original cast

My least favourite is probably 'Something Bad' or 'Sentimental Man', they're the ones I tend to skip on the soundtrack

Of the post-2010 ilk, I know of one Wicked fan who has seen the show exactly 250 times and another who I believe is somewhere around 230. There's a third fan that is somewhere in the low to mid-200s, not quite sure where though, and I'm on 208, so four 200+ people that I'm aware of but I don't think there's anyone massively above that. There are Billy Elliot, Rent and Les Mis fans who've been over 1000 times so in comparison we're positively normal! (maybe) I use you crazy 200+ people to justify my 22 and validate to friends and family that I'm "normal!" You keep going it helps me out haha! My flatmates think I'm 'crazy' for having seen it four times since September, and my response is always "if only you knew"

I'm assuming because it's by "Magic" that it's been recorded somewhere that I could listen/watch it? (The Disney one a while back was on BBC or Sky Arts not that long ago). I'm still kicking myself for going back to see Daniel Radcliffe tonight instead of this

Yeah, I remember that, but I didn't read through all the plans. Clearly, my friend was (yet again) mistaken. I'm just hoping that now that Phillip is officially retiring, Kate and William might take on a few more royal jobs

To turn the topic off casting so no one gets bored of this thread, I have a question for fans of the show. As itis coming up to my 6th year of being a fan of Wicked, when was everyones firdt time seeing Wicked? Who were your first trio of leads? I'd be intrigued to see the differences in times of people becoming fans of the show! My first time seeing the show was July 13, 2011 with Nikki Davis-Jones, Louise Dearman and Mark Evans. So I was meant to see it in Dublin for the first time when it was touring last, but a dislocated knee stopped me from going. I only (eventually) got to see it last September when I moved to London for uni. Rachel, Suzi and Oliver were my first trio obviously. Willemijn is the only other lead that I've seen. I've only managed to see it four times since moving over, but I'm planning on dayseating it a few times before going back home for the summer :]

Also, I'm pretty sure No10 does the announcement when The Queen dies It would certainly be newsworthy if the Queen called a meeting to announce her own death. No matter who announces it, for a year or two afterwards our national anthem will begin "God save our gracious QuKing". You know what I mean, it was more for future reference, it's No10 and not the palace that will make that kind of announce - though I do wonder if No10 would also announce Phillip's death.

I know the idea of a sequel has been thrown about for years - but I didn't think anything was confirmed or even really speculated?

From what I've read it was the Daily Mail that really blew up the whole 'emergency meeting', when it's more likely that this would have been planned at least a few days in advance.
Also, I'm pretty sure No10 does the announcement when The Queen dies (I remember talking to a friend about it when TM called the press conference for the GE)
Honestly though, this was pretty much expected

I'm like 5'3, maybe 5'4 at a push, so I might try the A1 seat next time I find one for sale

Rachel’s first original song I’m Falling (co-written by Musical Director Kris Rawlinson), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, a poignant and heartfelt nod to Rachel’s time playing the iconic “green girl”, and a completely reimagined studio version of No Good Deed, from Wicked. The full album track listing runs as follows:
1. Hand in Hand - Kait Kerrigan & Brian Lowdermilk 2. Where Is Love? - Lionel Bart, from Oliver! 3. When She Loved Me - Randy Newman, from Toy Story 2 4.

So yesterday was bored and browsing ! Headed to Hamilton officials website . Saw it said all shows sold out but clicked on December anyway . Then clicked on a sat matinee and got two cracking seats in the dress circle !! Anyone else seen this ?? They must be picking up secondary listings and selling them back !! Happy days !! Lucky you! I keep checking back for seats for the 2nd December for my sister's birthday, I had them in my basket at the time when they released but couldn't justify the top level tickets and ended up with seats for February mid-term instead. It's good to know they're putting returns back up on the website SaveSaveSaveSave

If it wasn't for the fact she's one of my best friends and she probably wouldn't forgive me (even for Rachel), then I'd drop Daniel in a heartbeat. I still haven't been to see anything in the Royal Albert Hall, so this would have been perfect. At least I'm booked now to see her in June

On the topic of Rachel, shs's peforming at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday, singing Wicked (I presume probably Defying Gravity) as part of Magic at the MusicalsFor the love of god, I seriously considered going but only found out after getting a ticket to go and see Daniel Radcliffe at the Old Vic again with a friend...

She did a programme with BBC Belfast the other week and said she has her green card and will be moving to NYC for good as there are so many more opportunities out there. Well I suppose that is true and she deserves to be on Broadway but I want her to stay here! At least it gives me even more of an excuse to take advantage of my relatives in the state I sense a Broadway trip coming up (but I'm dying to see Hamilton, Waitress and the King and I so Rachel would be an even better excuse for me)
