ATG emailed me yesterday offering ticket exchange as Miranda wasn't on (which I didn't take).

Think that might be a bit of Chinese whispers. She said something along those lines but there was no swearing or calling anyone a tw*t from what I remember. Caused hysteria at the time though haha She said, 'throw them at the girls in the front row.' Here is the audio to prove: Yes I know that's what she said

Apparently a sound guy forgot to turn a mic off backstage last night and the audience were treated to Alice asking "where's my f-ing hat" 😂 At least she didn't make the Kerry Ellis mistake of saying "where's my f**king hat because I'm gonna throw it at those tw*ts in the front row" Think that might be a bit of Chinese whispers.

It's a little shocking To see the numbers of unsold seats For this show Poor them I saw this show last night and the circle was almost packed out. Certainly not bad for a Tuesday evening in a theatre of this size. I thought the show was nice but the style of show it is wasn't really to my taste. I'm sure people who are into this genre of show would appreciate it more than me. Can't fault the cast at all though.

Looked at booking online but it is so pricey Buy one of the £25 seats at the outer ends in the Stalls. The view isn't really restricted and you only miss very minor parts. Thank you both.

I'm regretting not getting a brochure now but on the night I was in a bit of a rush before and after the show. Had a look on eBay and someone is selling theirs for £100 I believe they're selling them until they run out, any chance you'll have a return visit perhaps and can get one then? I broke my no souvenir brochures rule for it! I won't be back at Wicked until January I don't think. Hoping to be back in central end of October but don't know if they will have any left then.

Just out of interest, how early do you think people are going to day seat for the final day? Overnight no doubt, judging by the crazy people who were there the first time I dayseated Funny Girl - their friend came to visit from the Kinky Boots queue in a onesie, having been there all night (it was cast change for that show). If they're anything to go by, I expect unless you camp you won't get a ticket. Which is why I'll probably aim for one of the other weekends before that, when about 3 hours in the queue will suffice! I was definitely in the queue the same morning as you as I remember the onesie visiting friend! I agree about overnight queuing, possible even 2 nights.

I was thinking of trying to catch Sheridan in London once more before the show closes but glad I don't have to rush to do that now. Surprised but happy she is doing the tour - will be seeing it in Southampton and Southend hopefully.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but thinking about who could pull the role off for the other dates (bar Natasha) and I think Louise Dearman would make an excellent Fanny Brice.

For a weekday performance (Mon-Wed), what time is best to arrive, and is there a significant difference in queue lengths between Sheridan and Natasha. Also, are the seats in a set location? I can't help with the best time to arrive I am afraid for those days (I have only day seated on a Saturday and got there at 7am). The seats are in row BB which is the front row Amazing view.

Book of Mormon - I don't see the appeal (and I hated South Park when it was on) Kinky Boots - again, doesn't appeal Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - also doesn't appeal Jersey Boys - family and friends put me off it after saying it was rubbish! Billy Elliot - I never got around to seeing it before it closed Stomp - self-explanatory Thriller - ditto Motown - ditto again I haven't yet seen The Bodyguard but do plan on getting around to it during its current run. Out of all of those I would recommend you try and catch Kinky Boots (maybe a £20 day seat if you don't think you'll be keen.) The idea of it didn't appeal to me but I ended up loving it and it's in my top 5 shows Sorry for the double post.

I've only been once but when I went it took her about 30 minutes to come out. I think it tends to be busy most nights with her. Thank you!! Half an hour would be great and ideal! It seems less busy now looking at the press photos. Some people say 45 mins but 30 is ideal It was probably about 45 minutes before it was my turn! But she's very good at seeing everyone. Hoping to dayseat soon to catch the show once more before it ends. Anyone know what time I'd need to get there on a Saturday?

Can somebody please tell me how long it usually takes for Sheridan to come out of stage door post show and if it'll be busy during the week? I've only been once but when I went it took her about 30 minutes to come out. I think it tends to be busy most nights with her.

When I saw the show on a Saturday night in April, I'd say she took around 30 minutes to come out. I then had to wait about another 20 minutes to meet her myself as obviously it gets really busy, but she was very generous with her time and met everyone there. I second this, sounds like the same experience I had on the Friday, day after the infamous technical difficulties show. I was the day after you My photo with her on my phone says it was taken at 22.52 George. You should be fine as long as you're prepared to be patient.

I'm gonna throw in a random question here but: I was just wondering if anybody knew how long it usually takes Sheridan to come to stage door after an evening show? Changed tickets for an evening show and would obviously love to meet her! Thanks When I saw the show on a Saturday night in April, I'd say she took around 30 minutes to come out. I then had to wait about another 20 minutes to meet her myself as obviously it gets really busy, but she was very generous with her time and met everyone there.

I have booked some cheaper tickets for the 10th anniversary and for Rachel's last show in January - couldn't resist! Quick question but when booking the 10th anniversary tickets there was only one delivery option that said 'Do not despatch' so I left it as this. On my confirmation for January I have got normal box office collection. What does 'Do not despatch' mean? How do I get my tickets? I was told when I spoke to ATG on the phone that they still hadn't been advised of a delivery method by the producers, although they assume it's box office collection only. There are/were still details to be issued out to the ticket agents such as the earlier start time which they didn't get ahead of the tickets going on sale! Thank you. As long as they're booked and safe!

I am surprised how many tickets are left for 27th Sept? I expected it to sell out last Friday, especially as they only released tickets for the circle didn't they? It's definitely not some kind of system error is it?! I might actually be able to go now!

Part of me wishes she would just stay off twitter, go to work and prove the press wrong. This must be easier said than done though. Maybe she needs some time off to sort herself out as judging by her tweets, she isn't ok at the moment. It would be awful to waste her incredible talent in this show though. Joe Bloggs reading the newspaper won't realise what an amazing performance she gives and just take in the headlines.

Unless I'm misinformed, Sheridan also didn't stage door on Saturday night which is unlike her. I guessed it was to get home a bit earlier (what with the BAFTAs on her day off) but maybe she had already started feeling ill.
Even forgetting the 'was she drunk?' articles, today's bashing of her supposedly being 'annoyed' she didn't win the BAFTA is ludicrous. If you watch any interview she's done in the past 5 years, she always seems genuinely grateful/surprised to even be nominated for anything, let alone win, and certainly doesn't appear to be in the business to win awards. I'm aware I probably sound like a defensive mega fan right now (which I'm not, prior to funny girl I hadn't seen her live since Legally Blonde where I saw her once) but this is my honest opinion from seeing her on TV for the last few years and also meeting her not long ago at stage door. Everyone comments on how lovely she is.
I hope this bad press doesn't drive her away from the show early (I know she has only missed 1 show so far, don't mean to sound like I'm jumping the gun just yet). But it would seem the papers are looking to catch her out if she even blinks at the wrong time.
