I've dayseated once for Sixpence, and since then I've been back twice and sorted tickets once for a friend. On each of those three occasions there have been Day seats available online, twice at day seat price and once at £12.50. On all three occasions there have been top price tickets further back reduced as low as £12.50. So now when I want to see it, I don't bother with Day seats or queuing full stop!

I feel we made a smart choice booking in advance for the final performance. I couldn't do a long dayseat line again. |

Thanks for the 'heads-up'. I've just been looking online at tickets for tonight and tomorrow night. There are loads, in all areas, for just £14.75. Problem is, I'm not in London until next Wednesday, so I'll have to keep my fingers crossed. |

Why the hideous new logo so close to the end of the run? Just, no.

I'm definitely reading that as Six Half a Pence

Strange marketing decision. It's bland, forgettable and doesn't live up the quality of the show itself. I've seen posters for school productions of musicals that look better.

I just got an email with it in. Thought it was horrible - still do. Unnecessary. It looks like the horrible new Titanic one a bit.

It looks a bit industrial.

The positioning of "Half A" is very odd. Doesn't read right at all

I thought Charlie was giving us the finger for a moment there.

I can only guess that this is a final attempt at a last boost in ticket sales - perhaps trying to sell the show as less of an old-fashioned musical to draw in new crowds? Don't get me wrong, I love me an old fashioned musical but perhaps they're attempting to cash in on the pre-teen loving Wicked-esque fans? Judging by the offers on TodayTix, and the empty back of stalls when I went last month on a Friday, the sales haven't been as strong as they could have been.
Or maybe, this is a hint at branding for a possible tour? A guy can dream!

Same, that was my first thought too, a redo for the touring production.

Good lord that's terrible. That said, I can't wait to see Six Half A Pence again.

Good lord that's terrible. That said, I can't wait to see Six Half A Pence again. The sequel... Arthur Kipps has to actually work in this version. |

Just checked and surprised to see that sixpences were still around in 1980. I remember them very well (2 and a half pence equivalent!) but thought they has gone earlier. Sad to relate that I also remember threepenny bits (the weirdest coin ever and an actual half a sixpence) as well as the old big pennys, ten shilling notes, shillings, florins, crowns, half crowns etc!

What's the logic behind changing a logo a few months before it closes ? and to a worse one at that

What's the logic behind changing a logo a few months before it closes ? and to a worse one at that I wish I could answer that! I haven't heard any murmurings of a tour, but it does seem odd to rebrand a show so close to closing if no further life is planned for it. |
