Again cant find a thread for this, so if its already started apologies. Having a bit of a booking spree this evening and booked for Hand to God as well as The Atomic Bomb and Round the Horne. Monday evening preview (although the girl on the phone thought it might be press night as most of the tickets had been taken off sale....) anyway another one I am looking forward to seeing. None of my friends wanted to see it so going alone.

I'm very excited about all Wednesday matinee tickets being £25, I might book a day off work to take advantage of this. I have noticed some ticketing agencies offering Wednesday matinees for more than £25 and calling it a reduction though, extremely cheeky of them...

I could only make a Saturday after previews and got a good deal from Amazon tickets. So deals to be had for this throughout the booking period.

I got terribly confused looking at all the offers for this on theatremonkey. Could somebody set up a spreadsheet please? Judging by the number of offers this seems to be tanking which is a shame (says the person who's not booked for it yet)

I think it'd be a shame if this didn't do well. I loved it on Broadway. It was hilarious and so rude (in a good way).

This sounds my sort of thing but I don't expect I'll get a chance to see it.

Must have missed the cast announcement for this one, only found out when I saw a programme advert for it yesterday. Definitely going to be booking tickets now with Janie Dee and Harry Melling involved, he was brilliant in The Hot House.

Agree the pricing is all over the place. I found that see tickets were offering the back of the stalls about £5 cheaper than Nimex but I wanted an aisle seat and see tickets online allocate the seat for you so I called them and after being told I was being transferred and hanging on for over 5 minutes at 10p a minute I decided I would rather give my money to someone else. Might have saved more if shopped around but when I found an aisle seat I just grabbed it. Anyway its not that often I pay full price for anything so suppose it wont hurt me once in a while.

They have started to do a bit of online promo with (it appears) a series of videos about Tyrone (the "main" puppet in the show). First one's here:

With Nimax theatres, I find it's always worth checking with agents ltdtickets.com and theatreticketsdirect, as (technical downtime aside) their sites bring up "choose your seat" plans taken live from the theatre. You can see what's available, then phone Nimax (NOT See) and ask for particular seats. Or manipulate the Nimax website until you get something you like, if you can spare the time and get lucky. Glad to see I'm not alone in using such tactics to work around the lack of a 'select your own' option on Nimax! I've become very adept at stacking seats on two or three devices until I can get to the one I want! Of course I could just pick up the phone, but that would spoil the game ;-)

I think i'll wait until this has gotten some reviews until i decide whether to go. I like the sound of it but i'm still unsure.

So just back from what must be the 2nd or 3rd preview?
The show is in impressive shape, the audience were in hysterics regularly and the cast are great. Particular shout out to Harry Melling who is seriously impressive, flawlessly two characters- the human and sock puppet. I worry for his voice though doing right shows a week! And can you get RSI from a sock puppet?
The pace is a little up and down, when it's tight it's properly brilliant, but you really notice the lower energy moments and I often craved a laugh when they energy dropped. hopefully as it's still so early on previews the rest will tighten up over the next few weeks and it'll do really well.
Came out at 9:20pm so it's running at under 2 hours. House was pretty much full and everyone seemed to be loving it apart from one woman who got her iPad out mid act one and checked emails for 5 minutes!!!

She was annoyingly just a few too many seats away for me to say anything. Annoying that no one else did! Eventually as a scene change happened an usher shined a torch at her and told her to stop, it still took her friend nudging her for her to notice the torchlight!

Just back from the Vaudeville, I totally LOVED the show. The first act is funnier, the second is deeper, it's an absolutely brilliant show wonderfully staged and performed! I see many Oliviers in its future (if it opens on time)!

Saw this tonight. Very different to what I was expecting but I loved it. Outrageous and hilarious but surprisingly touching. Harry Melling was superb. I'll definitely be recommending this to everyone. Act 2 took so many turns I wasn't expecting. Not quite as laugh out loud funny as I though it would be, but brilliant nonetheless.
