Every other year I've been looking forward to this but this year I'm not. It sounds rather dull in comparison with other times.

Just had a look at the twitter feed for WEL and they have posted that the schedule will be announced by the end of this week. Hopefully the weather will be better next weekend than what it currently is.

Well it's looking good weather wise at the moment. 23/24c both days and sunny spells. No rain forecast.
But of course that can change as still over a week to go.

Yes, very similar to the "leaked" list, only they've spelled Lucie Jones correctly this time!

2017 was the best year ever. Last year was not so good. - This year one of the worst.

I wonder who will be performing in the Falsettos slot. No cast has been announced yet.

Seems I shall be going to the ball after all as I have an invite to the VIP area on Sunday. Line up is not as good as Saturday as expected but there is still some great stuff there. Looking forward to seeing On Your Feet and Ballet Boyz and especially Falsettos now I've seen the cast.

This is my first time going to west end live and I am planning on seeing a matinee, is it easy to get out of the place and also can you come in and out for lunch without queuing for a lifetime?

^As the time to leave gets near start to slowly work your way out of the crowd.Last year I was near the front for the first two hours,then on a break between performances,I started to drift to the exit to the right of the main stage.

.....if you leave the venue for lunch you will have to re-queue from the back all over again,I was told last year.Food is available inside the venue.

Not sure for this year and they didn't have one last year. Previously it was sponsored by Mastercard and you got drinks and snacks plus its seated. It does say light refreshments provided this year but no mention of a sponsor. Main thing for me that's its seated. |

Last year on the Saturday the queues were absolutely horrendous first thing in the morning.Depends on the weather but I am guessing that arriving at 10.40am would take you 60-90 mins to get in minimum.It’s all ifs/buts to be honest.Some websites say that up to half a million visit over the two days although obviously some people come and go.Also apparently last year it was much,much quieter for the last 3 hours on the Sunday.The big hitters seem to appear on the Saturday and tail off towards matinee time.Can’t do the Saturday this year as my daughter is on stage in an am-dram but Sunday is a possiblity.Just loved the MT fan vibe last year....really special imo.

Usually I am standing for several hours before they let us in. Think this year I may have to resort to sitting on the pavement. The big question is - Will I be able to get up again?

Walking through Trafalgar Square this afternoon. Had a chance to watch the tech rehearsals. Rachel Tucker sounded fantastic in the Come From Away bit. Really looking forward to WEL now. Got the perfect weather for it.

I will be out and about in Trafalgar Square tomorrow till about 2:30 pm.
If anyone sees me, feel free to say hello.
Some of you I have met but for those of you who haven't met me, I'm pretty approachable and a friendly guy.
I I don't see anyone, whatever it is that you do there, have fun, enjoy the show and remain safe.
Oh, and don't forget a hat and sunscreen.
