For people without an ATG card there's something called the Star Sunday Offer coming up at half price and that's not just opening night. Stalls from £18.75 (Thursday) max 10 tickets. |

Anyone know of any offers about for Wimbledon? (Is it just lastminute.com that usually gets deals for Wimbledon?)
I note they have taken the upper circle off sale and it looks rather unsold for the run.

I'm seeing Wonderland when it comes to Derry next week. I've only seen Michelle as the star to be in the UK tour of Annie so I'm excited to see her with a bigger role.

Tickets for this have not sold well in Derry, at all. I'm going this afternoon and from the website it looks as if there are more seats free than there are sold.

I've never wanted to leave at the interval as much in my life.

The cast were very energetic but I think the book is terrible. The child playing Alice's daughter was a little annoying. Of all the shows that could have been transferred from Broadway to the UK I feel they could have done something better.

Please don't let this come to London. The whole piece has no heart and lame comedy. I honestly don't know why it got produced over here.

Though, that wasn't saying much I'm afraid. I saw the original New York production as well. The book has changed a lot but somehow it hasn't gotten even one word better. The songs are solid enough, I guess... |

Anyone seeing it in Wimbledon? I'm there on its first night. Think I am gonna do Wimbledon. It hasn't sold too well though there so may wait for a bit to book as there may be discounts I imagine!
Anyone who has seen the show, is it a big production? Because sitting at the Richmond the other day, looking at the size of the stage, will a big production fit? I imagine so obviously as they have booked it, but it may be a squeeze haha.

Interval thoughts...I'm enjoying it for what it is. Great theatre it is not. Kerry Ellis' and Natalie McQueen's voices are probably the saving grace of the entire show.
A few of the songs are good, but the rest a very forgetful, to the point I can't even remember them now without looking at the programme.
The book is dire, I feel it has potential to be a good story, but it feels like it is still in workshop status.

My thoughts on the show were not as polite as yours 😂 Too be honest I saw your thoughts on it the other day, so was expecting the worst haha. As I said at the interval, Kerry and Natalie were the saving graces of the show, really enjoyed "I Will Prevail", pretty much the only song I remember. Wendy Peters is completely wasted as a performer in this, but her 2 songs were good (well the songs weren't great, but her performance was great, really reminded be of Hyacynth Bucket...Bouquet) I would say I was glad to see it for myself and that I wouldnt be rushing to see it again...now the unfortunate thing is, my friend got me tickets for tomorrow night for Christmas, not realising I had already had booked for myself tonight. And I didnt even have the heart to let her know I was seeing it tonight. Luckily it was so forgetful that it will probably be like seeing it for the first time again. |

I enjoyed Michelle as Alice even though the actual character was very annoying. The whole time I was thinking 'oh just go through the ******* looking glass already, you know you're going to do it eventually.'
I actually thought Natalie sounded very weak compared to Michelle. I can imagine Michelle belting defying gravity in Wicked but can't imagine Natalie.
