Interesting to see it appears they will be bringing in the added songs from the movie such as Listen... they recently posted a poll on Twitter of what is everyone's favourite song in Dreamgirls London (obviously And I Am Telling You is winning) but Listen is also listed.

I believe that 'Listen' was included in the most recent touring production.
Hope they do add the songs from the movie, would be great to hear Amber sing "Love you I do"

They added Listen to the US tour that was supposed to go to Broadway. It became a duet between Effie and Dina with new lyrics. You can find it and um, listen to it, on YouTube.
I wonder who they will cast as Dina. The part has been beefed up since the film, and I'm sure they'd want someone not completely unknown to follow the footsteps of Queen B. I feel that this version will be to the Bill Condon adaptation what the Evita revival was to the Alan Parker Evita.

Oh I apologise, I wasn't aware it had already been added... I love that song though so am thrilled to see it in!

Do we know yet how long the booking period will be initially? I'm assuming it will be the standard six months then an extension?

It is a lovetheatre priority booking .. Not the booking that we've all signed up via the show itself.
If I can I will post the link after I've booked tickets at 12...
I hardly think it's going to be a Harry Potter situation with tickets flying out of the door.. I imagine it's only us show queens who really know about it!

My sister has just booked price band A seats (stalls row C) for £5.95 - someone at ATG must have made a mistake as they're supposed to be £59.95. Yikes. Which performance?

The £5.95 glitch has been fixed, so not really worth rummaging around trying to replicate it.

Yikes. Which performance? November 26th evening Looks like they've fixed it! Would be interesting to know if they honour it.

Think I'm gonna hold out for a few weeks and see if any offers pop up. A bit pricey for me for now!

I think they have to. They'd better honor it!!! They don't. Unless you physically have the ticket, the transaction hasn't completed and they can refund you 5 quid. Price glitches happen all the time, and they almost always get cancelled. Tesco once sold 1000s of iPad's online for a tenner, none were shipped, everyone just got a refund.

Oh right...
I'm so annoyed with myself. I gave in and booked tickets after all.. With the stupid booking fee. And then saw an email from SF productions with a no fee booking link! Arghhhh.

They don't have to honour it (look at your consumer rights, you think their advertising the price is the offer and your decision to purchase is the acceptance, but your decision to purchase is the offer and their concluding the transaction is the acceptance - they're well within their rights to go "this was an error, and we're not obliged to sell you the ticket for this price"), but it'd be good if they did. Not that many people will have got it, and it doesn't hurt to get a small number of people in for a small price, theatres do it all the time. It might even make a nice little publicity story come November.

So to summarise,
(1) Lovetheatre (with it's £15 fees) started selling first. A link is not necessary, as you can just go to the Lovetheatre site.
(2) At noon, Sonia Friedman Productions sent out the priority ATG link to their mailing list;
(3) Shortly after that, ATG Theatrecard sent out the priority ATG link;
(4) Shortly after that, The Dreamgirls Official list sent out the priority ATG link.
At one point I was logged in to all the promotions at once. I was very confused lol.
