Sounds great. Is it still as relaxed as JC was, with beers, T-shirts and badges sold in the pit? And people coming and going to the loo during the performance?

Do we think it could tempt Cynthia Erivo back to the West End?

Have say I loved this. AMD is such a great actress you have to forgive her strange singing. She really excelled at breaking our hearts with the most sympathetic portrayal of Charity I’ve ever seen. Arthur D was good but I preferred Mark Umbers at the Menier. Having read the program, I really appreciated the Warhol Factory setting. Thought the choreography had too much walking in circles. Clive Rowe was in full “Sit down you’re rocking the boat” mode which is always a good thing.

Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Peerless. But on Prime. Well worth the free month to catch both seasons. And Mr Mercedes on Starz! All impossible to overhype!

Saw this last Saturday and really loved it. It has a huge heart. Loved Kat’s voice and the rest of the cast are first rate. Loved Oggie’s comedy number. Would have liked more of Marisha.
Will certainly revisit and think it will be be a big word of mouth hit.

Loved this yesterday. JC is still rude, crude and very funny. DF makes a great villain in classic DF mode. CS is amazing. I now regret missing Sixpence! GW is astonishing in his Palladium Stars song. Vincent and Flavia are good but not sure why they are needed.
Costumes (especially JC’s) are phenomenal.
Saw and loved Cinderella. Missed Dick W. Really enjoyed Snow White, especially for a first preview.

We are at tomorrow’s matinee. Year before last, the first preview ran about three and a half hours (loved every second, though).
Wonder whether tomorrow will be a similar marathon?

Bombay Dreams? By Jeeves? Outdoor ‘Starlight’? Don’t want loose chippings getting in the bearings of your Bauers though in the Park... [ Starlight? Leaves on the line cancellations?

Saw part 1 this afternoon. It's a bit brilliant, isn't it. Don't want to say more until I've seen part 2 in a couple of weeks, though. We saw both parts today. Loved both. End of the first act this afternoon was devastating! Coincidentally we also saw Company last Sat matinee and think you were there too Theatremonkey?

Mine has arrived, but I did move from the Sunday to the Saturday performance so it might be slightly different. I called them yesterday and they said to use the original tickets.

Little Shop of Horrors last night. Drunken woman shrieking with laughter, constantly! Even at the moving scenes. We were sitting very far away from her but she still ruined parts of the show.
The production is fantastic though. Great fun. A better all round production that the Menier but, as good as Jemima R was, I still missed Sheridan S. Vicky Vox is sublime.
Booked to see it again next Monday, hopefully with a better audience.

Horses for courses, and all that, but I can’t remember that last play I didn’t want to end.
Not everybody’s cup of tea but I loved it!
Plus, I got a hug from Pollly James after the show.
If you know that you’re going to hate anything by Alan Bennett, just spend your money (or your comps) elsewhere?

To put all your minds at rest, sat row A last night (22,23) and the view was fine, you don’t miss anything at all. Phew. Good to hear. I’m in those very seats on Thursday!

Please don’t say they are blacking up in it Fear not. Dann and Humbley are add-ons. Very funny,, both of them. The show itself is funnier than most Forbidden Broadway. Such a talented cast. When it is on target it is fantastic and , for most of the night, it is! Wouldn’t be surprised by a transfer.

Seeing the matinee today. Looking forward to it. Just realised that apparently I'm stalking Carrie - this will be the seventh production I've seen her in! And if anyone tries to watch the football on their phone during the performance, I hope someone 'does a LuPone' and gives them hell!! We are at today’s matinee too. I’m sure the audience would deal severely with anyone watching the football. Hope the staff are on high alert too!

I've booked to see this in Chichester and recently spoke to someone who was stage manager on the show. She also told me to take tissues. Hope it's not too depressing as I go to the theatre to be cheered up not to come out depressed. There is enough of that in real life. No need to worry Alec. It is uplifting and heartwarming but there will be tears!

On sale now. Front row may be AA, but that and the sides BB and CC are not on sale. A is £18, B £25, C £35. If they keep the layout of the current show and A is the second row without a raised stage, then beware. For £18 you won't see much. Wish I’d waited to hear your views before booking! Have booked A1-4 and B9-13!! We do have 4 very tall friends joining us so hope they’ll be ok in row A? Fingers crossed. How about row B? Will they be awful too?

Saw it this afternoon. Loved Lia Williams, and the rest of the cast did well. Felt the script lacked the anarchic edge required, and also there is a second play just about Brodie to be written. More on my site if anyone cares. On seating, I found E9 pretty amazing for view, but if you are under 5ft 10 there is nowhere to put your feet. A and B are chairs, and cushions are available behind row E, pick up to the right as you go in. A at the sides has more space than usual, in the centre A is in a pit, again with some legroom for a change - the first seat on B doesn't have legroom due to a step. I have stalls D8-9. I’m also very short. Am I in for an uncomfortable time?
