The programme for this is really disappointing.
Not even so much as a list of scenes and musical numbers.
It would have been nice to have included more about the production, for instance why the story has transferred to the 1930s.
Waste of money really!

Most of this(maybe all) will probably be in the souvenir brochure when they start selling those.
The online shop says they will dispatch on Monday(April 16th) - I'm guessing they will start selling them at the theatre that day too.

Ah, I didn't realise there would be one.  Thanks for that.  Will certainly have to get one upon my next visit...

<br />On a side note we got out tickets from TKTS booth in leicster Sq £67.50 reduced to £45. We were in row T of the stall on the centre ailse (last row of the £67 price band) View was good wsith only the people at the very front of the higher stage level not being visable at times.  Overall a fab night!<br />
<br /><br /><br />

Does anyone know if these are the "typical" seats available at TKTS? I'm really struggling with paying £67.50 for a good seat in the front stalls, but on the other hand, if I go all the way to London to see this, I figure I should rather pay £20 more and have an excellent seat (Seetickets is offering me Row D in the middle) than risk ending up so far away.

Also, how big is the risk to not see either Michael or Imelda on a Wednesday matinee? It's sadly the only option I have of seeing this.

Michael and Imelda do all 8 shows (I believe) so your risk should be no greater on a Wednesday Mat than any other performance! Enjoy - it's truly incredible :)
Somebody crowd me with love, Somebody force me to care,
Somebody make me come through, I'll always be there, As frightened as you, of Being Alive.

It's my life - it's now or never.

I think you may have read the reply incorrectly, illness notwithstanding, both Michael & Imelda should be one, it is fabulous, enjoy.

Hi,

I actually queued up for day tickets today, first time l have done this, managed to get front row at £37.50 from seats 12-18, other rates were £25 for outside edge which is really restricted. To be honest, it only cuts the feet off! l have seen the show from the dress circle and paid full rate..... never again!! will be there at 10am next time for front row. The couple standing next to me bought 2 tickets in middle of row D for £45 each.

Glad to hear they are bringing out the new programme because the small one is not very good!, also the CD which is available at the theatre is £15, but only £8.99 thru amazon....no need to guess where l got mine today!

Best wishes
Carol

When I dayseated I got A26 to the side but most of the restricted view is from the high stage. At £25 I thought these were fair value (A28-30 may be blocked by the stairs). Not sure I would pay more just to be a bit more central.

The £25 seats were all gone otherwise l would have bought those!! didn't care what part of the front row l sat! was surprised at the rate cos yesterday l rang see tickets who offered me the same seats for £37.50 and l woulnd't of had to queue up so early, the person from see tickets said l would get them cheaper at the box office.... but they wouldn't go lower than what l paid.....l have to say.. the only thing right infront of me was the bloody tap!! lol

Best wishes
