I almost booked again to see it in the two week extension, but with such a small number of single seats it seemed a tad churlish to grab another when I'm already going. Seems like the only people I know who managed to get tickets had to either wait for hours or spring for DMT+ though. Suspect this might be the way of things for the first half of next year!

So I coughed up for DMT+ for this (funnily enough the last time I did this was to get tickets for Les Mis previously). Relieved I did as getting tickets was pretty painless.
Anyway, great news that this is happening. And it does prove that the appetite is truly there. And certainly in the current environment, demand massively outstrips supply.
Even though we have tier 3 looming hideously over the Winter, I do think it's been a positive few weeks for theatre. Six, Jamie, Les Mis, Panto, the Curve stuff and much more now in the pipeline. Not religious but am happy to pray that it all happens!

For anyone who didn't manage to get a ticket, there appears to be quite a few dates available again now on the Delfont Mackintosh website. Mainly premium seats, but also noticed a couple of pairs in the front stalls.
I went in through the DMT+ email link, but it appears the normal Delfont Mackintosh page is still saying it's sold out, so not sure how you can get round that if you don't have DMT+.
I also notice that the pairs in the front stalls (row C) were not previously included in the original seat allocation. Or at least are not included in the seating plan on Theatre Monkey's website.

I've just gone through every date for a friend.
Hardly anything but a few dates have block of 4.
One date has a block of 2 and 1 date has 2 blocks of 3 slips.

Trying to book tickets by pressing proceed, but a box keeps coming up and saying "All seats within a socially distant group must be purchased". Is anyone else having this issue?

Quick query. If anyone who booked opted for print at home tickets, have they been sent to you by email yet?

Don't think I've had any email tickets yet.
I booked for 24 Jan in the original scrum, but have now joined DMT+ and am hoping for 2 returns on Sat 12 Dec as I've booked the panto on Sun 13th.

Just checked my email and it says that all tickets will be despatched closer to the performance date. I'd expect them a couple of weeks before the show perhaps? At least 48 hours before anyway 😊 |

John Owen Jones recorded a special performance of Bring Him Home for yesterday's Remembrance Sunday episode of Songs of Praise.

Delighted to get the CD through the post today :-)
Some performers I care for more than others, but is great to have a recording with Rob Houchen, definitely one my my fave Mariuses (Mari-i?) over the years.
Can anyone geekier than me shed any light on whether this is simply the soundtrack of the DVD release?
Or has it been engineered and mixed especially for this audio release? Thanks.

Do we really see these concerts happening? I know rehearsals have started so there’s an assumption there, but will we just get hit with another lockdown on Dec 28th? (Bearing in mind I’m booked for the 29th!).

From the brief moments i’ve listened too it sounds like the same performance as the dvd with some small tweaks. It has probably been mastered differently for CD release than it would have been for the dvd. Largely very similar, could be some combinations of takes/performances eg for the lines Michael Ball fluffed on the livestream performance that were fixed for the dvd. Surprised they didn’t do more to try and cover Michael’s obvious vocal fatigue at moments |

Annoying it doesn't say on the CD when it was recorded. |

(Bearing in mind I’m booked for the 29th!). Tricky isn't it. Manchester in Tier 3 did allow theatre so long as all bubbled up - so I am really hopeful that it will. (That said I have had misplaced optimism since the start of this omnishambles) |

(Bearing in mind I’m booked for the 29th!). I've been wondering the same thing. I'm booked for 5th Dec, so waiting patiently to see what the government announce for after 2nd Dec, when the current lockdown ends. Annoyingly my flights have been cancelled, so I need to book new ones but I'm a little reluctant until I know more. As you said, they started rehearsals just this week, and the set has been loaded into the theatre, so they seem to be going full steam ahead. |

I got an email from Avanti WC saying my initial train for going to London had been cancelled due to a timetable change, so I'm now booked on the 10:15 train. Today I got another email saying no reservations on my train, just sit in the window seat and not the aisle seat. I managed to get down to The Smoke in August doing this, just not on Avanti, so I will make sure I get to Piccadilly in plenty of time. (Inveterate worry-wart that I am!) |

There’s nothing wrong with being organised & punctual! I’m legendary for leaving myself far too much cautious wiggle room and always having a plan B. It costs far too much in London to do anything last minute! 😬 |
