The problem is when these people are bragging about getting in for free.
On an occasion recently (another show) two men came in bragging loudly "not a bad view at all for FREE" and from their faces I could see it really annoyed the people around them, who must have felt ripped off. I hadn't paid either but I didn't feel the need to tell the entire stalls.
"What a great view" would have sufficed.

If they're casting big names they may book arenas!

Yes, which has made the announcement tomorrow pretty pointless.

I thought the website said that he wasnt performing that weekend anyway. It's all very confusing. I'm going on Friday which according to the website has Ball and Boe. But is Alfie still sick? He was performing this week, was off one day sick (lurgy going around, Matt Lucas was off too) and was scheduled not to be performing his weekend but I heard some people grumbling in the theatre he wasn't there. Every page I clicked on when buying a ticket for Saturday clearly said he was not performing, I don't think the production could have done any more to keep people informed of the schedule.

Point for enthusiasm but the news is already widely known and I don't get why hint about the announcement that sort of tells anyone who didn't know who it is

MB said, during a little charity speech at curtain call, that the matinee was Vinny's first Enjolras show today. For Bradley not to have missed a show with all the bugs going through the cast, is pretty amazing.
It was my first visit and I thought it was a stunning production. There were tears streaming down my face at numerous occasions!
I though MB and JOJ were outstanding. They had a real presence about them and worked very well together. My first time seeing JOJ in anything and I was very impressed!
I absolutely loved Shan Ako was Eponine. I don't think I have ever heard On My Own sang any better. She has such an incredible voice.
Loved Matt and Katy as the Thenardier's and they certainly had the audience laughing.
Carrie was excellent. I was very impressed.
The rest of the cast, ensemble and band... incredible.
I had a standing ticket and my legs were aching so much afterwards but for the price and the view it was certainly worth it. The only dampner was that some of the standees kept slumping down and trying to sit due to tired legs. They were repeatedly told to get up by front of house staff. One of the senior staff came over to us in the interim and talked at us (very loudly!) that this was not allowed, we had standing tickets, it's against the licence, show will have to be stopped, you will be thrown out etc. Half of the stalls heard her and were looking and pointing which was embarrassing, especially as she was addressing this to everyone and kept looking at those in the middle, when we had stood throughout. It was only the couple on both sides who kept sitting down. These who sat down at the other side of the line were completely oblivious to what she was saying as we was too far away.

I understand the sentiment but really no need to @ him as he will get copied into all the replies.

Went tonight and I wasn't really feeling it, although I was very much in the minority.
I will try it again sometime in the future but a matinee as seeing this after Les Mis just didn't work for me.

The cast are really knackered, from what they were saying at stage door.

I'm in London today and would have seen this had there been a matinee. Alas not.

Judging by the crowds of ladies at the stage door every night I would beg to differ...
If a woman performer was being talked about in this way, some would find it slightly unsavoury!
We realise JOJ is the best thing since sliced bread and Ball and Boe are the devil incarnate, we hear it often enough on this thread but, let's be honest, if it wasn't for them would we have seen this production resurface at all? I somewhat doubt it.

Heard a few whispers that Todrick Hall is coming over from Broadway as Ogie.

What/who is the definitive JVJ though? Everyone has their own thoughts. I'd vote for Killian, personally.

Actually, if they were filming yesterday and today they could have a problem. Just seen JOJ'S tweet
Matt Lucas off with the lurgy too and hoping to be back tomorrow.

It has already been filmed.
Alfie was always going to make the DVD and rightly so, he plays the lead role.

Notices up in theatre today saying Universal are filming tonight's performance!
(likely the reason JOJ's shows were changed this week!)

I’ve heard rumours she’s left/leaving due to personal reasons. But not confirmed by any means. I hope she’s ok! Rumour and speculation. Inuendo. Outuendo.

How does standing work for this?
Does everyone get an allocated space or is there a scrum? ☺
