I thought School of Rock was meant to be (kind of) popular?!
Would've like to seen Amadeus but doubt I will get chance as I can't make weeknights. May end up catching Love at the Birmingham REP next month after hearing the great things about it! Doesn't sound like the sort of thing I'm used to, but I'm willing to give something new a try!

If Love really is sold out for Jan, maybe the NT will now take my ticket back without deducting the £2 fee!

I wonder how "sold out" Amadeus would be if it wasnt funded to be able to discount its seats to £15?
Bitter bitter salty tears from some posters about shows actually surviving, bizarre behaviour.

The NT is really on a roll at the moment, and with Angels in America (ticket sales limited to 2 per booker per play) and Follies coming up, I predict an exceptional year ahead.
I'm two-thirds of my way through The NT story (850 pages) and it wasn't always the same - some plays in the past (Richard Eyre's reign) played to 20%-30% capacity.

Can I add a cynical voice that says the NT is never really sold out. There are Friday Rush tickets and inevitably they will suddenly have allocation.
That isn't to say it isn't doing well but I think that is to do with a loyal audience and cheap (compared to commercial) tickets.

Even Cameron Mackintosh has tickets that comes suddenly available, it is to fool the purchaser that tickets are about to sell out, so TO AVOID DISSAPOINT..............
However the run does show generally sold out, with a few tickets coming up now and then.
