If they were filming all day and then did the show, it makes it even more remarkable that they came out and did the stage door with the usual utter charm, grace and warmth that they have always shown. We were there on Tuesday and both Matt and Killian took time to speak to everyone there, take selfies, sign everything and generally just make everyone's evening perfect.
Was anyone else there for the chaos of the late start though? Half the stalls audience crammed in the foyer and the other half out in the rain on the Strand till about 7.25? The bells ringing for the start (presumably automatic?) while the audience was still having bags searched. Everyone involved must have been working right up to the last second and beyond!

It felt late starting on Wednesday too, lots of chatter in the bar, then a double booking for a seat in the row in front of me which needed to get sorted, and an odd empty seat near the front needed filling. Think the front of house worked their proverbials off the last couple of nights.

Think the front of house worked their proverbials off the last couple of nights. You must have been sitting near me! The confusion over seats was near where I was, it was already gone 7:30 by this time. A lot of people came in very last minute, I don't know what the hold up was. So wondering now when this movie, as they are referring to it as, will see the light of day?! In cinema only or maybe a DVD? If there's a DVD I will never leave the house again. |

Matt had tweeted he's lost his voice so i'm guessing he's probably been feeling that come on all week if people noticed him being a bit under par vocally for his performances this week? Might be an explanation why he didn't go full pelt.

What would be the chances of still getting discounted tickets at about 2-4pm for the evening performance or 12pm for the matinee performance? If you went to the box office would they sell you a cheaper ticket, like they would if you were there for 10am? Noticed there’s quite a lot of empty seats online upcoming performances, but can not get there in time for 10am when box office opens? Is there any way of ringing the box office and getting day seat priced tickets at 10am instead?

They sell day seats until the allocation runs out. If it is quiet, that may be fairly late. A day seat report from today said only 8 waiting at 9.20am. Otherwise, it's just luck. And no, you can't phone and ask, but you can check to see if dynamic pricing has kicked in online, perhaps. Ah was thinking of going today too! What do you think the queue would be like for Friday 28th December as they have two shows? I would hope it wouldn’t be too bad as just after Xmas or would you advise getting there fairly early? |

I queued for day seats this past Saturday. There were 10 of us until just before 9 am but many people by 10 am when they let you stand inside. The show had been seen 271 times by just 8 people in the front of that queue. I think many die heart fans getting in to see as many shows as they can before it closes |

I paid £67.50 for Row F of the stalls I think. |

I’m glad they’ve changed it for the final performance. Especially the fact they’ve decreased the lottery seats and increased the dayseats. Even though I’ve dayseated for both shows before I’m glad they’ve taken it down to only one ticket per person for that day. Most true fans I know booked long ago anyway so it shouldn’t affect many people I don’t think.

We day seated for this a couple of weeks ago and the second person in the queue got there at 6.15 her friend arrived about 9.30am but then everyone found out they were going to buy 4 tickets 2 each. There was nearly a rugby scum in the queue! So definitely the right decision one ticket one person. I unfortunately can't make it for the final shows but I have a ticket for the tour in Birmingham so some consolation.

A superfan told me at 42nd Street the other night that there were fans planning to camp from the end of the Friday show for the dayseats.

Oh excuse you Mark Shenton?!
Not only is that generally a bit rude for anyone to say 'nah f*** it' if an understudy is on. But someone with his 'influence' (I use the term loosely) should not be tweeting such things.

And clearly everyone who has commented is in agreement, even Jordan has commented with just a GIF of Homer Simpson fading into the bushes. It frustrates me that people of his stature do this, maybe he isn't the right person to have that stature at all? |

Quite frankly that is rude and disrespectful to understudies, a real shame to see this tweet.

Mark Shenton is irrelevant.
Does anyone care what he says these days?
