You could message Danielle on either Instagram or Twitter and ask her what her next planned performances are?

Painless experience getting day seats this morning for my aunt and cousin. Straight in at 10am and two great seats in the royal circle. Seats next to them are on sale tomorrow for £89.50.
Incredible steal, will be trying for myself in a few weeks.
Managed to have a snoop around Drury Lane last night and wow 🤩 incredible. Was my favourite theatre before, but it’s stunning now.

Another thing I wasn't happy with was that we bought tickets when they first went up on o2 Priority and had our date changed twice. They were band 4 tickets. The seats LOOKED OK on SeatPlan, but they were restricted view. We paid £69.50 each, but the actual seats sell for £29.50 (£40 loss per ticket) - I didn't even check before hand, only realised once we go to the theatre and noticed how dreadful the seats were. I'm going to email a complaint. TLDR: I bought the tickets during the o2 priority presale pre-Covid and paid £69.50 for each ticket. The seat now sells for £29.50 each and is now advertised as restricted view. For anyone interested in how this turned out, I made a complaint and was told that ticket prices changed... no response to my issue of the seat now being restricted view when it wasn't advertised as such when I bought it. I understand prices can change, but I can't help feeling a little scammed by this! If I'd made the purchase quite recently, I'd probably be more outraged, but because I bought the tickets so long ago, it isn't bothering me too much... but still... |

You may be able to take it up with star. As if they sold you restricted view tickets without informing you. Then I think they breeching the code www.star.org.uk/dispute-resolution/ |

Finally got to see this absolute extravaganza this afternoon! Adored every moment. I didn't get a programme, who is the 1st understudy for Elsa. She was on today and utterly magnificent!

I think that's twice in a row she's done the Sunday matinee now, maybe it's becoming a regular show for her and becoming an alternate situation? I'll keep my eye out for next sunday.

I wish there was a schedule! I'm there Sunday evening and hoping to see her, could go to the matinee too if she'd be on for that (but not the evening). |

It was definitely Stephanie on for Anna on Sunday, I know someone who was there.
I think it's just a coincidence that Danielle has done the last two Sundays (not just the matinee, she did both shows each day). Last weekend was scheduled for Magic at the Musicals, and another friend was there Saturday night and said Samantha didn't sound on top form so could be that she's sick.

Something is up with the website. Trying to book tickets for this, go to the LW website, and everything for frozen is off sale up to The end of the year with a booking error message….

Sorry to ask this question, but are there certain performances where Sam Barks does not play Elsa? Is there a schedule for this? Also, does anyone know if she has any holiday dates booked?
Thank you in advance.

I note Danielle was on again today. It seems a little more than coincidence at this point to me that she's been been on for the last 3 or 4 Sundays running....?

She was on for both today. I wish they would give her a schedule, I caught her by (happy) accident tonight 😊 |

It delivers exactly what the target audience want, is a feel good treat, is better than a lot of the Disney oeuvre and has excellent central performances. How would you improve it? |

I was a bit skeptical about seeing this as I am not necessarily a fan of the film. While this still is very much a Disney musical, it really impressed me:
(1) Samantha Barks & Stephanie McKeon were both superb & can sing it with the best of them.
(2) The special effects and staging were fabulous. You can really see the extra effort made to make this special. Still not sure how they did that bridge!
(3) This may be the most beautiful theater I have ever gone to. Wow. It isn't just a theater. It's a destination.
There is good reason why this has gotten rave reviews, and you don't have to be a fan or have small children to enjoy it. Highly recommended!!

The bridge is in sections and moves like a train… doing a loop from upstage down the wing.. across the stage and then back upstage again. |

Off to see the show this evening with my youngest thanks to Disney Day Seats!! A little stressful getting them - kept refreshing the page for 45 minutes until 2 tix came up together. Row B in the Grand Circle… for £20 each!! Happy with that!
