Was the cinema screening a valid rumour, or do I have to get my act together to see this before it closes? Just a rumour (hope, desire and wish). If you can I would see it live. This production is safely on its journey to Legendary Status and we'll be yacking on about it for years to come and you don't want to be excluded from the chit-chat! True, thank you!

I believe he was sick. I have seen Phillip a couple of times and think he's fab but I am a little disappointed that it won't be Ashley on the film. I am utterly shallow, but I can barely take my eyes off Ashley when he's on stage.

We've probably discussed this before (didn't want to trail back through 268 pages!) but in the interest of keeping the thread going - why was this show so special? For me it was because the first time I saw it was like a happy dream - someone had taken all the very best bits of the old musicals and put them on a huge stage. It was such an explosion of light and colour and the dancing was amazing. I also couldn't believe the slickness, the stage was empty,full, empty, full as if by magic. My cheeks were hurting by the interval because I was smiling so much. One of my best nights ever in the theatre so I just couldn't resist going back.

I watched Ashley Day's video on Monday and it just made me so sad. I wonder how long the mourning process will take

Anyone else still a bit shell-shocked from Sat? I can't decide whether listening to the soundtrack will help or make me more sad.

Said I wasn't going to cry, so I started crying when the orchestra played the first note, then again when we saw the dancing feet.

My friend worked with her several times and said she was always delightful.

I'm in denial too. I was a bit teary a couple of times on Friday - at the feet at the beginning, then the staircase. God knows what I'll be like on Sat!

Am C14 and C15 for the evening. Tempted to book for the matinee as well... My mum was completely blown away yesterday and says she's still trying to get her head around it. So happy she got to see Clare as Peggy. I think Bonnie had a cold but she was still fab.

The best thing we have in our family is a child. We always have Christmas at a house where the child *doesn't* live so we get to break up the party fairly early by saying "oh, well, the child needs to go to bed soon", and that's a brilliant opportunity for everyone to escape. Not quite sure how we'll cope when the child gets a bit too old for that to work, but we'll certainly make the most of it for now... We used a similar excuse in that we had to get home to make sure the dogs were OK. Funnily enough that coincided with the nephew and niece rapidly working themselves up to the inevitable tears and tantrums. Now sat at home quietly with a drink.

I'm really looking forward to my last 2 visits on 28 Dec and 5 Jan, but I'm so sad at the same time. This year has been hard for me and my family and this show has provided the escapism and lift that I needed. I have booked things next year which will be great, but I will sorely miss the joy and happiness that this show gives me from the first note to the last.

Footloose and Book of Mormon for me. I think I already documented this on the board but it still annoys me that some people thought the shoddy production values and general (though not all) lacklustre performances in Footloose were the best that live theatre has to offer.

Ben Elton is touring again! Found out at random when looking at Hugh Jackman tickets. Pre-sale on Ticketmaster was worth the extra £2 over house prices, as I won't be around when those drop. Been a manic booking morning! I've booked Hugh Jackman for myself and hannechalk, also going to get Ben Elton tickets as Christmas present for my boyfriend. Been an expensive week with Michael Ball and another trip to 42nd Street too!

Thanks very much both ☺️ Friday 4 Jan won't work as my parents live abroad and will have gone home then. Should definitely be able to do any matinee between Christmas and New Year though. I've Tweeted the official account to ask if they will release a schedule of performers.

Thanks to theatremonkey's excellent site, I see there are matinées on the Thu, Fri and Sat between Christmas and New Year. Does anyone know which ones Clare will be doing? I'm hoping to take my mum and as it will be her only visit, I would really like her to see Clare.

I concur with the above. I tried my best to get my money's worth of prosecco as the food didn't turn up for nearly 2 hours and was lukewarm when it did
