Aww I was hoping I would be able to snag a wee bargain. Thanks for the heads up.

I know A11 is behind a pillar, but also wanted to check if it's on an aisle. I need an aisle seat for my dodgy back and I suspect it's going to ache a hell of a lot more after sitting in this theatre.

Yup, it's a 7pm start. I just bought tickets for it since I can't see the show in London.

They are definitely selling it, but I didn't check how much it was. Sorry!

Nope, even the cast don't know. I'm wondering if they will wait and release it for the tour and sell it at the venues.

So to confirm Joanna has now finished? Will the rest of the girls be on for the final show? Have seen a Jenny and Shirley show and Claire and Joanna twice. Will the final show be Jenny and Claire? Sad that Joanna is not doing the final show. No, she's doing the two shows on Tuesday, but Claire is off that day so last night was their last show together. 😕 So, yeah, I assume Wednesday to the final show will be Claire and Jenny.

You picked a great night to go as this is the last night that the two leads are on together. 😊

When I saw this I literally walked up to the box office 15 mins before curtain and got an Upper Circle box seat for £19.50. It was an amazing view and I had the whole box to myself.....and that was a Saturday night.

Wow, this tour that's happening next year is growing and growing. On top of the UK and America I see they are tweeting that they are in talks to take it to Germany and The Netherlands.

I finally got round to seeing this this afternoon. I am so bad at not getting round to seeing shows till they are closing. I found the show both better & more emotional than I had expected it to be & cried 3 times. I've neither seen the film nor the play so had very little idea of the plot beyond "WI members do nude calendar for charity". I was lucky enough to see the full cast on - while I like seeing understudies if I'm repeat-viewing a show, it's nice to see all the leads if you're only seeing it once. I particularly wanted to see Joanna Riding & Sophie-Louise Dann, both of who I've seen in multiple other shows, so was relieved they were both on. I thought all the leading ladies were very good. Also very brave: there were more nipples on display than I was expecting! Anyone wanting to see the show with full cast before it closes, a heads-up that when I spoke to Joanna Riding afterwards she mentioned that she's on holiday Wednesday-Saturday of the last week so there's only just over a week left to see her. So Jo is finishing up with the show on Tuesday 11th? That's a shame she's not there for closing night.

Wow, Shirley Jamieson really is earning her buck in this production, I see she was on as Chris last night and Jessie today.

I sat in the box overlooking the stage seats and all I can say is that some seats are definitely better than others. TBH I think the first table on either side of the stage seemed to be the only ones to get a good view, but others who have sat on the stage seats may have a different opinion.

Saw this last night and thought it was good, but definitely not great. Some of the cast members were stronger than others and i felt myself glazing over when the weaker actors were on. I did like the staging though, even though the cloud/crumpled sheet distracted me and the hotel room looked like the inside of Abercrombie & Fitch with all those dark shutters.
There was a talk back with the cast afterwards, which was really interesting and added some insight into the characters and the actors choices.

Does anyone know when Joanna and Claire will be back? Joanna is pretty sick but I think she's trying to get back for Tuesday, but in saying that she came back too early by coming in for the Saturday matinee and that set her recovery back. Hope you get to see her, fingers crossed.

Saw this for the first time today, enjoyed it way more than I expected too. Damn those kids are a talented bunch!

Saw this Friday night and was gutted that both leads were off. Jenny Gayner took over from Joanna Riding and was not good. Her vocals were poor and she is far too young for the part one of which of the lines is about being friends for 40 years. Was really disappointed about it as had been looking forward to it. I have to say was disappointed in it generally too with low production values. Saw Bat out of Hell and 42nd st too which did not disappoint. Sorry for the double post, I don't know how to double quote on my phone. Joanna has been pretty sick, she came back for the Sat matinee then couldn't make it on for the evening, not sure about Claire but I think she was on holiday. I agree about the age thing though, especially when Jenny is on with Shirley, the age difference is even more noticeable and distracting.

I saw this from a box seat on Saturday night and still have goosebumps from it. Audra is quite simply breathtaking in this role.

I sat it on Saturday afternoon with the £35 offer (row D in the stalls) and I loved it. It may have helped that I came "fresh" to it - I only watched the movie as a primer a few weeks ago because I didn't know it at all. But I enjoyed the story a lot and the atmosphere in the theatre (about 90% females I'd say) was great. Also really liked the score. And I admit, after seeing the utterly perfect gorgeous young ladies in On the Town on the previous night, it WAS nice for a regular woman like me to see other regular women of all shapes and sizes on stage. I hope this will do well on tour. I was there on Sat afternoon too. Shame Claire Moore wasn't on but nice to see what her understudy brings to the role.

Can I ask what time Idina came on at? I think I'm going to be running late for the concert on Tuesday night and I want to make sure I don't miss any of her set.

Anyone know if the CD will be released before the run ends? Someone asked Debbie Chazen on Twitter if there was a release date for it. She replied "Not sure yet. Soon as possible we hope".

I can't decide whether to go and see this next week. There are never any bloody discounts in Nottingham and don't know if I want to see it enough to pay full price! Do fellow theatre-boarders recommend going to it? I saw it in Glasgow last week and loved it. Thought Natasha was fantastic, but wasn't as impressed with Darius, his diction was really poor so I struggled to understand him.

I agree, I absolutely love Claire's voice. Thanks for sharing.

Well that's really annoying since I bought side aisle seats for two shows in June for pretty much the same price. Oh well.

Oh that's a shame, my friend was going to that gig and she hadn't seen her perform live before.
