How is the show selling at Matinees on Saturdays at the moment? I don't have much money but I'm considering coming down to London this weekend but I was going to buy a £30 ticket for the circle. Could I get better at the box office on the day? Day seats are always the best seats for quite a low price. But there's no guarantee you'll get a ticket if many other people are waiting in line. If you're a student though, you can just go at any hour on the day of the performance and they'll give you the best available seat for £30 if you can show a valid student ID. That's one ticket per student ID though, so if you're not going alone you have to consider that. I am going alone but unfortunately not a student anymore! I wanted see Rachel before Christmas and this weekend seems the best, if a little last minute. I won't be in London early enough to rely on day seats though unfortunately... I'll have to have a think!

I've noticed Rachel sings "No good deed goes unpunished..." but sings it higher than she used to towards the end of he song... is that how she's been asked to sing it by Wicked or is it a riff? Either way I've always thought it works really when when I've heard other Elphaba's do it so I'm glad Rachel does it.
Hoping to catch the Wednesday matinee week after next!!

Rachel is known for big belting voice but I love her I'm Not That Girl, it's beautiful.

Suzie has ended NOMTW on the optional high note here in London! Didn't enjoy that - needs some vibrato otherwise it just sounds like a scream And a slightly flat one at that.

There is a new audio of Rachel from yesterdays matinee on YouTube. Now, call me boring, but she sings Defying Gravity with minimal riffs and my god it sounds fantastic. Elphaba's riff so much these days that when they go back to basics it just sounds so refreshing. I know riffs are loved by fans of Wicked but really, the score just doesn't need them, it's so powerful as it is.

I am happily gonna put forward the suggestion, I want to see Carrie Hope Fletcher play the role. And not for fangirl purposes or anything like that, I just want to see her do it! The only reason I would ever want her to play the role would be so that I could save money by not seeing the show! Sorry, don't rate her at all, and she is the reason why I despair at the invention of social media sometimes! I agree. It's always kicking off on her Twitter - which I admit is hilarious to watch as she over reacts to everything and is so passive aggressive to anybody who disagrees with her. I'm not sure she has the vocal strength for Elphaba 8 times a week tbh.

I knew she was going to go on today, I had a feeling!
From the audios, last night sounded great. I am of course a huge fan of Rachel and I'm not really getting the 'forced' vibes that people are describing her vocals as. Yes, it wasn't her BEST PERFORMANCE EVER (!!!!!!!!) but I think she just sounded a little tired rather than forced.

With this weeks excitement I can see both Rachel and Suzie calling out of at least one show to rest! Yes I was thinking the same, I thought Alice might debut at today's matinee.

You, sir, are a hero. Thanks so much for letting those who couldn't be there listen to this!

Are you really that surprised? I'm not, I don't know what everyone was expecting. I would have loved to have been there though. After what they did at Miss Saigon 25th and Les Mis 30th, most of us were expecting something else. To be fair they are much bigger landmarks though. I feel like London has had more of a fuss made out of its 10th anniversary than Broadway did anyway.

Going to echo what others have said regarding lack of special performance at the end. They had so many talented people, they could've done literally anything, one song, and it would've been great. A bit of a wasted opportunity. Rachel was absolutely on fire, probably one of the most impressive vocal performances I've ever seen, and I've seen her before. I've just listened back to DG, and on her last note she just casually belts up to the high F for a few seconds before bringing the house down. Mathers was also really good I thought, bit of a disappointing Morrible though. I had fun. But a song at the end would've made the night. You've just listened back... can you share?

I so hope someone's making a complete video bootleg I'm hoping someone's uploading at the interval 🤗 I was just thinking this!! Ha, I'm not very hopeful though.

Interval isn't usually until around 9ish and I think this show might have had a different start time?

Hope everyone going tonight has a wonderful time! I was hoping to see the Saturday matinee next weekend, does Rachel do all 8 shows? Yes, she's scheduled to and as far as I'm aware is pretty consistent.
