First saw it at the New Diorama. Going for the eighth time on Friday. Can't wait to see it in its West End home where it deserves a long and hugely successful run. Utterly fantastic show. Five stars and more.

I will be amazed if this closes in July. There were some new posters put up in Battersea(?) last week that said extended until august. |

Will this extend past its current booking period? or is it limited?

The covers had a dress run today meaning 4 of the cast could watch!
I note that they describe them as ensemble rather than covers and in the programme they aren’t called understudies or covers in their bios. Wonder how much mixing and matching there will be.

Tickets are available to book now for the extended dates with the same pricing structure and mailing list exclusive seats as before!

The pricing for this is absolutely bizarre.

The pricing for this is absolutely bizarre. Just looked at tickets for this for the first time. The pricing is the same for all seats at a given performance!? What is the logic here? |

Anyone heard if they have something else lined for the theatre which is why they have such limited booking slot for this show at present.
This few weeks extension hardly shouts confidence and at present looks to close in the middle of key tourist season and will miss people starting to look and book shows to go to end of summer.
With the praise from board members and seemly positive reactions would expect a more robust statement that they intend the show to be there for a while

The pricing is a disaster! Nothing below £70-odd!

Some form of TodayTix rush will for sure operate once it has pressed

I managed to change my tickets to row AA. Anyone who’s sat there, is it good?

I managed to change my tickets to row AA. Anyone who’s sat there, is it good? I sat there last weekend in row AA seat 2. At 6'4" I found the knee room sufficient while the foot space was somewhat restricted but not uncomfortable. Great view. I would certainly sit there again. |

That’s good to know - I’m 6”2 and am in that exact seat in three weeks time!  |

Anybody done a Standing Ticket at the back of the Upper Circle? Only tickets left for this weekend are regarded as 'avoid' by TheatreMonkey, and Standing is the only other option...

Every day they announce on their Twitter some late releases. I got row E stalls about 2 hrs before the show. |

Saw this again on Saturday, first time seeing it in it's new home. Absolutely loved the glow up, the sets are amazing as is the glitzy finale, but it's great to see it hasn't lost any of the original charm. However, sat in the front row AA wasn't the best. It's a bit claustrophobic as there isn't anywhere to move your feet too and the stage is high. I'm not short, but when I was sat down, the stage was at eye level, so I had an ankle-eye view! Lots of looking up, and a stiff neck the following day.
