I saw in on Saturday performed to a full house, although a large number of audience members arrived late and entered the auditorium after the first two numbers. A lot of empty seats with about 5 minutes to go and I was worried they were going to stay empty. Must have been either a very slow moving queue to get in or just laziness from the audience members in question.

I know you can get very short notice tickets for very cheap prices even on Saturdays, so I'm guessing midweek performances aren't sold out.

Shame as it's a very entertaining show.

Did you see the show in the afternoon or evening?  The tube was shutdown for some time on Saturday due to protestors or just to protect the public.  I was at Old Friends and walked to Waterloo to get the Jubilee Line to London Bridge to see Pacific Overtures.  Bus service was also detoured around Trafalgar Square.  The Stand had no vehicle activity.  That being said the Thursday Evening performance of Crazy For You had a few rows of empty seats in 2s and 4s.   Love the show.

Evening, and I got the tube in from St Pancras with no issues.

Great performance from the cast on The Royal Variety, hope it shifts some seats for the last 2 weeks. It deserves to go out on a high.

I thought the start was a big cringe out of context but the big number sold it very well

So finally got to see this on Wednesday and had a lovely time managed to get a row b stalls seat for £25 so that was nice.

It's a shame this is closing early and didn't have more excitement and buzz around it as the cast are outstanding and I've always been a huge fan of Susan Stromans choreography.

I would say I didn't think the sound was great although I soon got used to it but overall it was a fun afternoon and I loved all of the dancing and fun and I'm glad I made time in my winter trip
Home to see it.

Enjoyed the little performance this evening on RVP hopefully it May get a few more people down to see the show.

Made my fourth and final trip tonight. So sad to see this show go, it really is the sort of thing that deserves to run and run.

Charlie was great as usual and Kate Parr was on as Polly. Really enjoyed her, having seen her debut in the role in August.

Looks like the last few shows have sold really well and just a handful of seats left die the last performance (which I am going to). Really pleased the show is going out on a high.

I saw Jack Wilcox’s last scheduled performance as Bobby yesterday - wonderful again! And a packed house!

Saw the show for a final time this afternoon and just as sublime for a 4th visit.

The show is so joyful and always makes me smile. It's full of great dancing and fun songs.

Be interesting to see what the cast are up to next.

4 seats left for todays last performance. Really pleased uts going to go out with a full theatre.

Well that was a wonderful last performance with everyone on top form. Great audience too and a standing ovation for "I've got Rhythm'.
Charlie Stemp made a nice speech and they brought all the swings on stage as well which was a lovely gesture.

I now need to find a new 'happy place" musical to take its place.

So sad to see this close. A shame that it will be completely upstaged by Sunset at the Oliviers for musical revival. It was a gorgeous revival and should have been sold out every day.
