There were a lot of offers initially to the point where I couldn't decide which one to use! I haven't noticed so many recently.

It could, in theory extend by just a week or two before the next show moves in for tech (though the new show is a musical so will probably need more time!)

Tickets were on offer at TKTS when I went through Leicester Square last weekend, although I haven't had any email offers from the usual suspects recently.

Got a £17 day ticket on the net, this morning for the afternoon performance.
Balcony closed off.
The play itself was a bit of a romp that was mildly amusing.

Phantom, I'm really keen to see this, but not at the normal "offer" prices or even those of the SOLT booth, so could you please say which website you used? I have been looking for deals and will try for a day seat but am not sure I can get to London in time for those. |

Nimax website.
Another. Clue if you want a cheap ticket, the Balcony was closed, so I imagine if not on the website a walk up day ticket would be easy.

Saw this the other day (admittedly on a company rate so not an unbiased opinion) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Bawdy fun, with the actor playing Charles stealing the show for me personally. Would of been nice if I could have made out more than 10% of the song lyrics though...

Even on the day I couldn't find anything affordable online so tried for a day seat and was relieved to find the queue pretty short when I arrived, even for a Saturday on a BH weekend with a poor forecast. And again, even by the time the Box Office opened, the day seats would not have been fully subscribed by those waiting.
As for the play, I had a great time, though thought the first act far more enjoyable and clearer in its direction. Inevitably, being based on fact, it was all downhill in the second half, but still no faulting the writing or performances.
Furthermore the day seats at the Apollo must be some of the best, as if you are able to bag one of the more central ones, there is loads of leg room (but the front row does curve, so ends of row are more cramped), meaning the stage isn't too close and in this case it happens not to be too high, either - I've experienced far worse in both respects elsewhere, to the point at which I felt the deal was too compromised to be worth it.

Couple of weeks ago I dayseated for this and they started selling dayseats from the sides, not from the centre. I was the first in line but I've got the worse seats than those who came one hour after me. The seat still was ok for that price but it feels unfair.

That certainly does sound unfair, Stasia. Perhaps it depends on who is staffing the Box Office, but I was 3rd in the queue and wanted the matinee, as did the 1st person and I distinctly heard her ask for 2 specific seats by number - though oddly, very slightly off-centre, as I found out later. I assumed she had day-seated there before and had a reason for this request. So I took my lead from her and simply asked for the most central remaining, which I was allocated without quibble.

Glad I finally caught this, not sure it quite pushed the boundaries I thought it might, but I found it thoroughly entertaining.

Saw this on Saturday and thoroughly recommend it! Not earth shattering, perhaps, but very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable. I can see how it would have been better to see it at The Globe. I loved that Nell is credited with the invention of Restoration Drama and its feisty gals. And don't forget that she is the matriarch of a dynasty, Dukes of Buckingham with as much royal blood in 'em as the Windsors. Atherton v watchable.
