Have to say I'm very tempted by this - even though it does sound like everything I hate. Plus, I imagine a man on his own at this sort of show would be a bit sad!
Any chance this production will tour?

Thanks for that. How do you know which are included in the 25 dates?
Sorry for all the questions.

How do you get the £25 seats? Is it just certain seats in the theatre?

Have booked to see this. Know nothing about the show, and have booked purely on Michael Crawford's name. Looking forward to finally seeing him on stage!

Not normally one for plays, but have booked to see this. £15 stage seats as well. Really excited!

Anybody sat in the stage seats yet? What are they like?

Are they holding tickets back for this, or has it already sold really well? Was hoping for a decent seat in the stalls, but not much available.

Have just got back from today's matinee, and really enjoyed it. I thought that Pixie Lott showed decent acting chops, and she had a really engaging stage presence. I also felt that the physical production was really stylish., with some really nice uses of lighting.
I can understand why this wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea though. There is little story, and it is more a character piece about Holly and Fred. I overheard some audience members saying they didn't find it particularly thrilling.
Whilst this is far from being the best thing I have ever seen, it is a thoroughly enjoyable show, with some nice performances and good direction. Worth a go. I would certainly go again.

Now this is exciting! I adore THE KING AND I, and have been wanting to see Kelli O'Hara on stage for a long time. This production sounds ravishing as well.

I agree about MRS HENDERSON. I think that is why I haven't booked it yet.
Any chance THE COLOR PURPLE will come back to London? I missed it the first time, and am kicking myself.

Where is the best place to sit for this show?
Think I am going to book to see this, even though, as someone pointed out on another thread, it seems very similar to BETTY BLUE EYES.

I have a spare slot for my April visit to London, and am debating whether to see this or CURIOUS INCIDENT. Any opinions?

There was an interview with Maury Yeston on Broadwayworld a few months ago, stating that they were hoping to mount a production of DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY at Southwark Playhouse in the next 6 months. Does anyone else remember? My money is on that.

Are there any plans for GREY GARDENS to transfer? Wishing I'd seen this now.

I am wanting to see this in the West End. What is Row E in the Dress Circle like? I have looked on TheatreMonkey and they say there is a very good view from that seat, but is it too far away? You probably get a good view of the stage, but can you also see the faces of the actors? Thanks.

I too went to yesterday's matinee, and really enjoyed it. It was a very good production of this obscure little gem. However, for me, the John Doyle/Menier production was still far superior. That was just so inventive in its staging, that I find it difficult to separate myself from it. I do not wish to dimish the quality of this production though, as this was still well directed, and I liked so much of it. Go if you can. I can't imagine there will be another production for a while, once this has finished.

Didn't even think about Joe Pasquale. My mind instantly thought of Steven Pasquale. On reflection, this probably won't be the case, but I'd be there in a heartbeat if that happened. What a voice!

This sounds really interesting to me. I have always wanted to see Michael Crawford on stage, so that is one reason to book. I have also read that the score mixes classical and operetta styles, which is right up my street.
Do we know of any dates Michael will definitely not be performing?
