I find it very strange seeing John outside of a non-Phantom/LM setting, as he is so much associated with those shows and played thousands of performances in them. Whether it was that weird play he was in with all the sex, or hosting WEL, or now this, it’s just weird to see him break away from those two roles. Weird? He's a solid professional performer who can play hundreds of different roles. He's just another actor singer like the many many others no? I look forward to seeing the show! I heard great things on its previous run. I think you may have misinterpreted my post. He played Phantom and Valjean and very little else for two decades, pretty much non-stop. So yes, it is weird (different) to see him play parts in different types of shows which are against the type of his usual leading role in long-runner musicals. |

What weird play about sex? The Wild Party? Oh yes I saw that. You threw me when you said play rather than musical. Have Victoria Hamilton-Barret in it if I recall. I saw it in The other Palace as it was then |

It’s selling really well (unless they’re holding back a lot of tickets). I was really surprised when I looked.

Well I’ve just booked tickets. The cheapest ones so I won’t feel I’ve been too robbed if it’s rubbish, but I do like JOJ.

Never seen the TV show but tour reviews encouraged me to try booking. Prices however put paid to that as the advertised cheap deals for the first few weeks relate only to terrible seats. Or maybe there were better ones which I've missed?

Does anyone think there will be any New Year offers as I got DMT vouchers for Christmas specifically to buy tickets for this

I know the show can’t extend at its current theater because of a new show coming in, but is there a tour schedule set up for after the West end or is it possible that the show got transferred to a different theater if it takes off?

They've also extended the reduced seats offer for the first 3 weeks. Just got 3 tickets in the royal circle for £37 each - they're £70 each later in the run

I would have snapped up a front row seat, but not seeing any available, so either they sold out instantly or they've been taken off sale.  Edit - They are there, but for some reason they only show if you click through to the show page (https://www.delfontmackintosh.co.uk/whats-on/the-great-british-bake-off-musical) and then click on the special offer. They aren't available from the link on the main DM page. Hope that helps someone. |

I was looking yesterday & couldn't get any tickets to show up at all before 18th March, which wasn't much help as I was looking at booking 16th. Going via the special offer button works, although I had to ignore an error page which said the offer had ended. It clearly hasn't as I've just booked a front row ticket for 16th March & the entire row was available for that performance. I'll be seeing a ballet that evening that I'm expecting to be very heavy going so what sounds like a very light musical should be good beforehand! |

I was struggling to find that special offer button so happy to pay an extra 50p to get two on a Saturday evening through TodayIix.

The tickets are awfully pricey for a show that looks as if £1.50 was spent on the set.

The cast were just on this Morning performing "slap it like that". Not quite sure what I made of it but looked fun.
