No sign of any more deals and big chunks of tickets keep disappearing off sale so I can’t see discounts happening anytime soon.

A week to go.
I keep checking the website for a good discount but still lots of unsold seats at expensive prices. I really don't want to pay fifty quid and have a bad view.
Hopefully, we will see this on Today Tix over the coming week.

Growing up, my Mum had a thing for these shows (or, more specifically, Michael Flatley) and we saw them so many times.
I remember little of Riverdance but Lord of the Dance was always a good watch. Then came the million copy cat shows which spoilt it a bit and we haven't been since but we've booked for the big screen. It will look great on a big screen.

Les Mis and "lack of ticket sales" in the same sentence.
This is new!

I wasn't going to see this but after reading the reviews on here I think I am going to have to.
If only to see "the blobs".

Sweeney Todd. Seriously. I want stroke NEED to see it. Not the film, hate that, but a proper production. I only saw it last year in Liverpool but I’ve only seen 3 versions of it so I’m not all sweeney’d out. I love it. I wish that WYP production would get resurrected. BRING BACK SWEENEY TODD. What do you miss? I was at the V&A at the weekend and looking at the Sweeney set designs in the theatre gallery and found myself thinking the same thing. More recently, I miss 42nd Street. That show was something really special.

I will probably give this a miss unless the casting impresses me.

They left a rose on every seat tonight for Valentine's Day.
Nice touch.

If you go into the main entrance (the one opposite Victoria Station) you will go up a few stairs and there's the box office on your right. The screen is high above the box office.

There's an Easter Panto version of WOO doing the rounds too with Kerry Katona as the Wicked Witch and Basil Brush as... well, I'm not sure who as but it sounds like a hoot.

I was going to the last two shows but managed to get a rush ticket for mid stalls on Friday so ended up at the last three.
Friday was wonderful calm before cast change chaos. We had Chiara on for Beulah, Jennifer on for Bonnie and Brandon as Kevin J/Ali, none of which I had seen previously so I was very pleased. I went to stage door after and it was such a lovely experience. I doubt it would have been the same the next day! It looked absolutely packed.
Saturday was very emotional. I cried buckets. It was lovely that Jonathan came back from his paternity leave to do the last show with this wonderful cast. There were loads of tears and some great speeches from the producers at the end. Thanking the cast for taking a chance on this show and saying they had asked incredible West end performers to be in an ensemble for a year and move chairs around 😊
The atmosphere was electric but never overlapped into bad behaviour (at least where I was sat anyway) and emotions ere through the roof. I have so much love for this incredible show and this cast.

All that money they saved from not honouring members credit seems to have added up.

Did nobody venture to the cinema to see this today?
Full house in Gateshead and a very appreciative audience.
I had forgotten how great this show and cast are. It was such a treat to watch this again.

EP has just played Rachel Tucker's version of "Woman".
I'm not sure it's the kind of song you'd listen to over and over but Rachel sings it beautifully.

Totally get this. I am a Robbie Williams fan and he always talks of when he does songs he really wants to play (but aren't the hits) the crowd just aren't interested and it's a bit souls destroying.
He did a tiny show at Camden Roundhouse back end of last year and it was only non released songs and album tracks. Not a hit to be seen! It was my favourite concert of his I have ever been to and I have been to a lot.
Only £40 a ticket as it was to give back to the crazy dedicated fans like myself. It was a very special night.

It will be very strange to see Carina back in the chair again after so long.

Laura only has a couple of weeks holiday left to take so maybe they will make do
Thursday 30 Jan - Saturday 1 Feb Monday 13 - Wednesday 22 April Thursday 4 - Saturday 6 June
That would probably change if one of the Elphana understudies got ill.
They'll have some green girls on speed dial just in case I'm sure.

I can't imagine cancellations happen lightly. There will be so much pressure to go on.
So sad for those fans who have paid a fortune for non refundable flights/trains/hotels etc for an event which will now not happen.

They smashed up a couple of vinyl albums backstage?

Not bad behaviour as such, more an annoyance.
When you watch a show that has a "star" in it, they first come on stage always accompanied by a loud chorus of "oh he's from that programme" from half of the theatre.

Saw it today in Sunderland and really enjoyed it.
Fantastic cast. Very amusing. Brilliant choreography scenes. That Alan Birkitt is one heck of a dancer isn't he! Samuel Holmes and Rebecca Lock were particular highlights for me, they're always great in everything they do.
I last saw Jason Manford in the Producers and he has come on so much since then. He was very good indeed and sang beautifully
I also loved how I could buy a house programme for only two pounds.

It doesn't really matter what any of us think about Wicked saying don't record the show.
The important thing is they have said don't record the show.
Their show. Their rules.
