I must admit, you know those moments where you are suddenly slapped with excitement for a show... this just happened to me for 42nd Street... and I haven't even booked yet! Was it anything to do with that twitter pic of the stage

Judging by the recent pictures of set etc and the videos of rehearsals on Twitter, this show is shaping up to be a really good show with huge sets and dedicated direction etc but it just needs to appeal to lots of people. Drury Lane is huge so this has to sell and even if the reviews are great (which I bet they will be), it still needs to appeal. Look at Showboat...

Goodness
This show is going to quite something based on what I have seen this week
I think it will attract many people in the end
It's easy to understand plot wise
There is loads of dancing
And this staging and setting is quite spectacular
It will please many

I think it's actually a bit depressing. This show has had numerous revivals including Chichester a few years ago. It's a dated musical and it just about sums up the ambition of British musical theatre today. Sigh. This production sort of makes the CFT one seem irrelevant That was small scale in comparison The cast here is 52 or 53 I think Quite larger than any other recent show in WE history I do want to add That we moan about feeble new shows like The Girls And then about classic large scale high budget revivals The producers can't win!!

Great! On that basis just booked some middle stalls row AA tickets for £15 each. Seem to be lots available.

Those £15 at the front look like a bargain! Fairly sure they weren't available at that price before? Looks to me that only half the row is on sale for the first two rows so possibly the others are day seats?

Monkey's site says front row yet to be confirmed so this might be a very recent addition, but I have not been paying close attention! Still, looking forward to comparing this to the Paris production I saw a couple of months ago.

I just booked the front row, what a deal!
When I sat there for Charlie there was no restriction, you could see the whole stage floor and set was visable so I imagine the main thing with that deal is the whole ensemble numbers won't be visable clearly.

Glad I stumbled onto this thread, Wasn't sure about the show but at that price a no-brainer!

I hadn't booked yet, having seen the show in Paris so recently, but at that price... no-brainer indeed! They seem only to be on sale up to around 21 April currently, will be interesting to see what price they are when released for the later dates.

I'm very tempted by those front row seats, but I'm just a little concerned about the height of the stage. Is it likely that we won't be able to see the dancers' feet?

I was thinking it might be something like that. I think I might wait till there's a bit more information about the view floating about. Thanks!

We had a works coach trip from Gwent to see this about thirty years ago. The lights went down, the band struck up, mass tap dancing commenced, and one of the group exclaimed: "Oh my god I can't sit through this sh*t" and walked straight out.

I think the only way this show will survive is from great reviews and good word of mouth. If it runs past Xmas, i dont know if Mary Poppins will transfer?

If 10 of us club together we can get a great group rate 😁
Want to see this but think front row is just a bit too close. Keeping fingers crossed for offers.

So what did you do while the rest of them stayed and watched?

I LOVE theatreboard! I would not have known about these tickets if I had not checked the thread. Booked for the first preview on the Monday night on row A - second row. I assume it is close and you will lose some feet (not good for a tap show I suppose, hence the price) but surely a bargain! The seats in the row behind are £65 and a few rows further back (Row F) are £115!!!!!

I love you all for this tip. Booked those £15 seats. Been putting off buying tickets for a while so glad to have nabbed some of those.
