Has anyone booked the under 30s tickets... do they actually ID you for them? I don't have any ID at the moment (I lost my passport and the replacement wont be here til before the run is up) I was ID’d for the first time on Monday (first out of 8 times). They were not strict though, I did have my ID on me and the usher was surprised/grateful that I offered it up. They will ask you your age and if you don’t have it I’m sure they won’t make a fuss. Don’t stress.I suspect that depends on what the person looks like and whether they’re clearly taking the you-know-what. |

I’ve heard through the grape vine that a lot of the cast are fighting infections right now, it’s not just Bernadette.

Seemingly doing the rounds again - they were all super ill during the end of rehearsals and previews so it was only a matter of time before it went through again.

I’m seeing it Friday. It’ll be just my luck if the cast with the best attendance records in the West End are all off sick by then.

Does anyone have any experience with getting front stalls day seats from the theatre Box Office
Both TidayTix and Tkts always seem to offer seats in the very rear of the stalls only

Good luck if you decide on the box office route. |

When I’ve gotten last minute tickets from the box office I’ve always been given row J and bang in the middle (but with the under 30 discount). Before I knew about the discount I did ask for front row and they were happy to give it to me  |

Happy soundtrack day!!! Ugh I do wish it was our west end cast though. There are a) too many voices in this one b) too many voices that I don’t care for (Michael Ball).

So glad this is finally available! Listening on Spotify now, but completely agree I’d far rather it was the amazing cast I saw a few weeks ago.
Hearing it all again is making me wonder if there’s a list anywhere for the current production, showing the songs and who sang each of them? I’ve not seen it on here and googling simply gives the Gala Concert details.
The programme helpfully gives the setlist and running order but without any performer info. I can remember most of them but would be great to see to fill in a few blanks.
Starting to think I’m going to have to revisit it before the end of the run!

Now that I’ve discovered these 30 and under tickets, I might have to make a few more visits!
Was there last night and it was superb once again. Everyone sounded great.

I really wish it was the current cast and not the original concert that we will be getting a cast recording for, but I shouldn't complain. Agreed, the current show is far superior to the TV version. Gavin Lee's Could I leave You is light year's ahead of Michael Ball. |

I was afraid the west end run would ruin the magic of the concert and it did but not for the reasons I expected - the west end run is so god damn magical that it makes the concert seem cheap. I’m glad I felt the energy at the time, but the west end performances and polish is for the most part on a totally different league.

The shows online store has added a couple of new items. Doesn't look as if they will restock the signature tshirt but they do now have a ladies that lunch one. Also a set of badges (or buttons as they call them) with lyrics on _ I'll drink to that, Im a broadway baby, I'm still here and everything coming up roses. Could be useful to wear as a discrete sign for the sondheimites to recognise themselves at future theatre events. store.playbill.co.uk/oldfriends. |

The way I go a week without seeing this show and o itch to see it again 😭 it must be a disease at this point 🤣. I’ve never seen a show more than twice in run before this. It’s just such a GIFT. Basically akin to having an affordable Vegas residency running with the Beyoncé, Rihanna, Celine etc but MY edition 🤣

Today Tix have a good deal on this until the end of today only, I believe. Just had a look. All I can say is if those are the offer prices then I don't want to know what the non-offer prices are. For the performance I looked at, everything forward of row M stalls is over £100. I can't afford that & there's no point in my going if I have to sit at the back as I'm too short sighted. Since there's now only a couple of dates when I could potentially see this, it looks like I won't be seeing it unless the offers get one heck of a lot better than they are at the moment. |

Get rush tickets! They are always available Yes. I have been 3 times, each time with Rush tickets for 29.50. Not front of stalls, but really good seats mid way back in the Stalls. |
