Who normally plays young loco? Just one of the school kid ensemble lads? Because I've just thought maybe the reason the drag shop scene is so long is so the actor can get in and out of drag?

No it’s normally a different actor but he’s on holiday this week. I watched an Instagram video of the understudy getting ‘changed’ from student to young Loco. |

I'm going to see etaj next month at website still are cheaper back row seat in stalls however, I planned hunting for a day seats. How it's look like now with them? Is 9.00 on Monday will be enough ? or just invest in a more expensive ticket . It's West End hit so It's been a awhile since Me and Day Seat hunt thanks :*
We got there at about 9.45 on Friday morning. There was about 10 people in front of us and we were offered front row for £20 or the end two seats about half way back in the stalls for £25, which we took as she said (correctly) the stage is quite high and we would get a crick in the neck on the front row.

Such a great musical, I went to see it the other week and haven't stopped listening to the soundtrack.

Going to have my “West End retreat” for just one eve. As I posted on twitter, this show is the closest to tolerance and acceptance we can get in years. Really surprised the authorities allowed the screening! |

Are links to reviews not allowed? I can’t find anything in the rules? |

On another note, is anyone going to see this at the cinema tomorrow? Just booked tickets to see it at my local cinema. Looking forward to seeing it again (I'd rather see it live in London but I'll settle for this). I'm going with a friend who's been debating seeing it in London, hopefully it'll convince them they do wish to see it live. |

I'm going. I wasn't going to, as I have already seen it live, but there's air con at the cinema and I'll be interested to see how it goes down with a local crowd.

Hello all! I am new to the site and apologize if my question has been already asked. I am traveling from the U.S. to the West End in late September. So far, I am seeing Tina, The King and I, and Company. I would like to see Jamie and have a question. It seems like the best seats for the show are being held back for all performances. Does anyone know how close to the performance they go on sale?
Thanks!

These are on the front row and the stage is very high so they’d aren’t the best seats in the house |

So, I was going to go and see this tonght being broadcast into cinemas, as I have never seen this and am curious about it.
So I got home in time, at dinner and took a walk to my local Vue Cinema in the O2 Centre, Finchley Road, only to be offered only to be offered at single ticket for £20.99! That''s extortionate!
Needless to saw I felt compelled to inform the young girls behind the counter that I could catch the tune into the West End in 20 minutes and see it in the theatre for £25 and walked away.
So now instead of watching it, I am at home typing this.
I am currently is a heated Twitter discussion with Vue Cinemas questioning how they can justify that price.
I'll keep you posted folks

That’s obscene pricing! I’m watching it at Vue in Leicester and it cost me £5.74 booking online (I think the pricing was set wrong at this cinema as it was £15-£20 at all my other local cinemas).
I’m really enjoying it so far so much that’s it’s tempting me to see the actual show.
Our screen is about 3/4 full.

I'll keep you posted folks Same price at Cineworld on Newgate Street in Newcastle. Was meant to be seeing it but at that price for a screen version of a stage musical.. no thanks. And I don’t wanna put up with the drunks on the metro afterwards. |

I'll keep you posted folks Here's the response from Vue via Twitter Thanks for messaging us! I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with the price of our tickets. As this was a live performance streamed directly from the venue, the cost of being able to show this one off event is more expensive than regular films. We hope to provide a price that takes into account the cost of being able to show these great events as well as fair for our customers. I 'm sorry you feel this isn't the case. Thanks for letting us know your thoughts on the matter! - Lewis |

You quite likely wouldn't have got to see it anyway, my Mum tried to see it in Penzance and the cinema lost the signal and it was cancelled. I can see on Twitter lots of people across the country experienced the same thing.

I'll keep you posted folks I have never done a live screening. However for £5 less, you are seeing a vastly inferior ersatz version, cinema can never substitute for the real live gig, I get it not everyone lives in London, so that they’ve got limited choice. But if you can see it live in the flesh, do. |

Just back from seeing this in the cinema.
It was good and it seemed like everyone enjoyed it but the camera work was awful at some parts.
I saw the show in London a couple months ago and loved it. The recording really didn't live up to that for me but I still had a good time
I will say though that Josie Walker was AMAZING and her parts were the highlight of the show.
