Where were your RUSH seats for these shows (and would you advise for or against them)? May 6

For Mother Play, their student rush and 30 under 30 are STRICT and they will verify that guest holding the second ticket is also someone 30 and under when the tickets are picked up"
That's not correct. Second person can be any age with the 30 under 30 tix.
From their website -
"How many tickets can I buy? You can purchase two tickets per performance. Purchaser must have a valid ID stating they are 30 years of age or young

I had row D far side for Outsiders. It was partial view but I found it mostly fine, only a little bit missed
Water for Elephants I was Rear mezz row E right at the far side. Felt a bit too far away for my liking although the side on view didn’t affect me much.

The 77th Annual Tony Award Nominations for 2024 Apr 30
2024, 09:35:58 AM
I think it's a great set of nominations. That featured actress in a musical category is incredible. What I am very surprised at is all of the love for Water for Elephants. It was by far one of the weakest musicals of the season for me and for it to be nominated for Best Musical and a slew of others was not on my radar.

Nicole Scherzinger to star in West End Sunset Boulevard at the Savoy Apr 15

It's ONE NUMBER staged that way. Pretty much everything else in the show is performed in front of you on the stage, with video usage as an addition.

I was around 10th in line last Saturday at 9:15 and just missed out on matinee rush. They did offer $59 PV side orchestra which I took. There was around 15 people behind me when the box office opened.

New Steps jukebox musical Jan 26
2024, 07:43:40 AM
A true guilty pleasure.
I saw them in concert when I was 8 years old. I think I saw them twice more as a child before the split, and then again in 2012, 2017 and 2021. They're the best type of cheese pop and still hugely popular in the UK. Faye in particular has gone on to do a lot of work in Musical Theatre and from what I gather there's a massive cross-over of people who love musicals and people who love Steps.

The most thrilling and daring revival I think I’ve ever seen. Saw once with Nicole twice with Rachel.
Best musical revival/director Tony and likely some others.

Jonathan Groffs chances at a Tony Nov 10

I was at the second Off-Broadway preview and thought there and then that if it transferred, he'd be a major contender for the Tony. I hope it's his year.

Question About A Rush/Lottery Strategy Nov 3
2023, 06:36:22 AM
Often there are set tickets set aside for rush/lottery, for example front row/far aide orchestra seats. That said, if a show is vastly unsold, they're likely to sell additional lottery/rush tickets.

West End shows for the coming holiday Oct 10
2023, 06:47:05 AM
Surprised you feel there isn't a full slate of productions to enjoy. London theatre is really buzzing at the moment with lots of great options.
Along with the 20+ shows mentioned by imeldasturn above, you have Operation Mincemeat playing which has really turned into the little show that could, and is a huge hit now in the West End after multiple fringe runs. The Little Big Things just extended into March, another great show to see. The Enfield Haunting looks promising at the Ambass

OlBlueEyes said: "I see that Crazy for You West End is selling tickets through January. Originally a limited run was planned, because there had been a revival of it only six or seven years ago.
Nice to see Susan with a hit financially as well asartistically.
The limited run in London has always been selling through to January. To call it a financial hit is wrong though, it’s really struggling to sell and is being really heavily discounted. Tha

Please do not miss Guys and Dolls!
Theres a new musical “The Little Big Things” opening @sohoplace at the start of September. Looks promising! Also if you can get a return for Next to Normal it’s an outstanding production, as is our Open Air production of La Cage aux Folles.
Frank and Percy (Ian Mckellen) is… fine.

Shows that Never went to London Aug 18

RippedMan said: "The VERY American shows tend to flop there - Avenue Q, Rent, Memphis (apparently?) - so I don’t know that audiences will line up for Shucked. What about Tootsie? Is Doubtfire doing well there?"
Avenue Q ran for 5 years in London, a very respectable run. Memphis ran for a year - not exactly a smash but good for an original musical in London, and it really put Beverly Knight out there as a West End leading lady.
Doubtfire seems to be
