Is there a possibility that this will extend or is it strictly limited? If so think it would have to move theatres as it finishes on 11 November and Peter Pan Goes Wrong is booked in from 23 November to 14 Jan!

This doesn't seem to be selling significantly. Still "good availability" for most performances. Do we think people are waiting for the performance schedule to see when Peters and Salonga are on? Or just waiting for ticket offers?! It is expensive isn't it. Premium £150 and nearly all the stalls £125!

Don't recall having an email in those terms before. Strange. I'm going on Thursday and I haven't had an email from them. I got a second one this afternoon!

Don't recall having an email in those terms before I've had that email from ATG before A Little Life, Operation Mincemeat and the first one was before Mother Goose back in December. Ah thanks, I must have skim read them previously. Don't worry, I was still a model audience member 😉

I wanted to listen to this again but Amazon Prime now only has one song available rather than the whole album. Has anyone seen the full album on any other platforms? Thanks! Apple Music still has the complete Broadway Cast and Original Cast recordings available. I had no idea there was an Original Cast recording too. Be good to hear that as only heard the Broadway one. Thanks

Tempted by E24 and E25 in Stalls (fairly middle). To those who have seen the show (or more generally frequented the Barbican) is Row E generally OK? I have checked Seatplan and there seems to be generally good feedback but good to open it wider. I went for E23 and E24 which were available on day I wanted to go and as well as looking good on Seat Plan, we're the 'green' category on Theatre Monkey too. So hope so

Oh thanks. On TodayTix now too. I think each price bracket is a couple of quid more on Seat Plan

I missed this when it was local to me last week due to being in London so thought I wouldn't get to it. I was then browsing and saw it is at Royal Festival Hall for a few weeks in the summer as never been to that venue and wasn't much on for a Sunday matinee that I hadn't seen already. I've seen a few clips and listened to the album so looking forward to seeing how it's done. Dear Sam I'm afraid you won't be able to tick RFH off your list as SpongeBob is being done next door at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. Doh! Thanks for that, saw that when booking then totally forgot. I haven't been to either so at least I can tick QEH off but I'll have to go to RFH another day

I wasn't particularly interested in this but realised this morning that given I haven't been to @sohoplace I can no longer say I've been to every West End theatre. That's a good enough reason to book for this right?!

Not a member but hoping they'll be plenty of seats still when it goes on public sale. Expected it to be pricey, but not willing to miss it this time after hesitating last time and then being unable to get a ticket!

Despite loving the show, I didn't have much desire to see this. I only booked as there was nothing else on this afternoon that we hadn't already seen or fancied and the ticket offer made it a bargain. So glad we did. I really liked it. Yes the plot is fairly thin and somewhat predictable but it was just joyous with a stellar cast. The songs were really good and it captured the essence of the TV show perfectly. Really think it deserves its West End run. Solid 4 stars from me 😀

A very rare 5 stars from me. I thought it was fabulous. I didn't really know what to expect and only ended up going necause of the preview prices as wouldn't have bothered if not. It was hilarious! The cast work so hard, amazing what they do with only five of them. I saw a review which said part Mel Brooks, part Hamilton and part Six which I think is pretty accurate. Surely it is going to extend (perhaps subject to reviewing their prices...), I'd happily go back again and have been raving about it to friends.

Was so pleased to finally get to see this yesterday. I really enjoyed it. I was worried about it being too long and dry but the time flew by. Very engaging and some funny parts. Really glad I caught it.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised this weekend. I went to Mincemeat, Lehman Trilogy and Bake Off and the audience were absolutely brilliant at all of them. Such a nice change!

Sorry to be boring but I couldn't find the answer on the group. Does anyone know roughly how long each act is? Or how long each interval is? Website says 3 hours 20 mins but nothing else. Thanks If you don't get an answer before, I am seeing it this afternoon. So can let you know later today. Ah thanks, I'm actually in for the Matinee too 😄

Rumor online today that a revival is being planned for next year. I remember liking the show on Broadway 20 years ago and would love to see a full scale production again. Ooh interesting. Love the London cast album and enjoyed it at Brixton

I suppose the producers are confident it'll be a sellout like it was in Stratford. If anyone is looking for Stratford nows the time to look. About six dated have tickets available now, limited but until recently was showing as fully sold out. Annoyingly I can't make any of the dates free! Update, nearly every single date now has a handful of tickets to book!

I love the show generally, so I'm happy to see it coming back into London - but I must say I am quite surprised! Is that the future of the Dominion then? Basically just an additional tour stop for every show going? Side note - the tour set for this is very underwhelming. Very scaled down. The boat at the opening is now more of a dinghy and those grand Buddha statues are just painted flats. [br It seems it has really been like that since We Will Rock You closed. Haven't most shows there only been open for months save for 2 years for Prince of Egypt? It does seem a shame but I suppose it is hard to get a show in that's going to sell in such a big venue.

Now reflected on the Royal Court's website: It is with deep regret we have to announce that due to personal circumstances, Danny Lee Wynter has taken the difficult decision to withdraw from performing the role of David in BLACK SUPERHERO. The role of David will now be played by Lewis Brown. royalcourttheatre.com/whats-on/black-superhero/

I've just remembered how awful this show was (not something I say very often). Be interesting to see if it does make it into the West End like the programme suggests!

Ooh interesting. Is this the touring production going in or a separate production? Think that's a typo, Beverley Knight from March* to June Ah, answered my own question as the tour is going on until April 2024!
