The Devil Wears Prada - TR Plymouth / Dominion

[usbuzzer]

Thanks for the answers on this! I'll keep on checking, we'll see what will be the price. If it's not right, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rush or other special offers, but I have plenty shows to see anyway, so I'll manage anyway

[A.Ham]

Definitely interested in seeing this at the Dominion after a friend said how good it was in Plymouth. Also now on the hunt for any extra seats released during previews!

[ladidah]

Haven't seen anything online about the cast member who seemed very distressed, I hope they are okay.

[usbuzzer]

Have they cancelled Wednesday previews? I'm checking the tickets page regularly to see if they release front rows and I'm pretty sure Wednesday have been there and now they're not.

[erik24601]

Am I alone in thinking that I'm already quite bored of the promo for this show? 'First look' images which aren't really first look because they've basically been used for the Plymouth run already etc.

There's still a month to go before first preview and they are making it out like it's opening next week - in fact I had to check the dates again to be sure!

[usbuzzer]

Yeah, I'd agree that they're not doing much. I still would love to see it to hear new Elton music, but if I hadn't had my mind made up, I wouldn't decide to see it based on the promo

Does anybody have any info or experience with sales for front rows from the producers of the Devil? I believe it's Nederlander. I can see that they've blocked out rows A-C from all the performances which seems extensive for any last-minute sales if they launch it a week before the previews start. I hope they will launch it (probably having reserved some seats for TodayTix lottery or rush), they wouldn't list them in the seat selection at all if the stage was extended, right?

I'll be in London a week after they start previews and I'm checking for those seats multiple times a day and it would ease my mind if I knew more about them. For example, I believe they've released front rows for Why Am I So Single? about a week before the first preview, whereas for Mean Girls they release front row around two weeks before the performances on each Wednesday.

Booked when tickets were first released and just had a text that my October 30th performance has been cancelled.
I paid a pretty penny so I hope they’ll refund decently.
I’ve had enough of this already. I booked when it was rumoured Hannah Waddingham was to play the Meryl Streep part, not sure I would have booked so early for anyone else.
Booked through London Theatre Direct.

They might try to fob you off with a voucher/credit note, but you’re entitled to one, so stick to your guns if you want a full refund.

[topaz]

The line for bookings through the Dominion itself is actually immediate exchange or full refund only - no credit notes, which I would have preferred!

[davidm]

I think the performance I was going to on Wednesday 20th November at 14.30 has also been cancelled, but haven't heard anything from TodayTix (who I booked it through.)

[happytobehere]

I don’t imagine it’s likely, but does anybody know if Vanessa is doing all performances or does she have scheduled days off? Truthfully she is the main reason I want to see this show

[ilovewemusicals]

Wondering if they’re performing at Royal Variety, as noticed there is no longer a show on Friday 22nd November.

I’d say that’s highly likely if they’ve cancelled a Friday show

This has sold fantastically well to date

[kallyloo]

Just to say I won’t be voluntarily ordering through London Theatre Direct again.
No choice for the cancelled show on October 30th, just issued a credit note.
I’m going to contest it, but I’ll have to research my rights according to the law/their policy.

😫 Definitely contest it, I think a lot of companies just try it on by offering a credit note, but as soon as challenged (and you as the customer point out it’s your right to be refunded if the service you’d paid for can’t be fulfilled) then they refund.

TodayTix’s first option when a performance was cancelled at the last minute was to credit my account, but when I requested a refund to my credit card it was processed straight away with no quibbling.

I had the same issue with them when a Clueless performance was cancelled.

If you go back to them demanding a full refund, they will process it.

Quite unlike you to be so positive.. involved in the show? 🤣

[Mark]

Vanessa Williams due on Graham Norton next week.

[horton]

I thought this was the worst thing I saw all Summer.

[capybara]

I’d be fascinated to know what this is comparable to, musically? Should I be expecting a Legally Blonde or a Mrs Doubtfire?

The orchestra pit has been removed at the Dominion along with row A of stalls removed in seating so steps come out into the aisle ways from the stage. The stage is very very high from front row.

Thank you for this update. They haven't sold rows B & C. Do you think they will sell them as restricted view? Or not at all?
