I know we've still got some weeks to go until the end of 2017, but shows are going on sale well into the autumn of next year and I've seen numerous references to people having booked a worrying number of shows for 2018 already, so I was just wondering if anyone cared to share specifics.  (Bonus points to the first person who can honestly say they've got something booked for 2019!) |

Well 'Company' natch. I mean. Patti.
Jonny B in 'The York Realist'.
And 'Paint Your Wagon' in Liverpool and 'Sweet Charity' in Nottingham. Marc Elliott. 'nuff said.
Really, there's no point in booking anything for 2019 because between La Elliott, dear Jonny B and Patti, I'll have been slapped with so many injunctions that I won't be able to leave the house anyway.

Network at the NT and Julius Caesar at the Bridge Theatre in February. And Ramin Karimloo's concert at Royal Festival Hall in January (but I might give that ticket away).
Plus most of my Sleep No More tickets for my January trip to New York. No Broadway shows booked yet but planning to catch The Band's Visit and Hello Dolly while I'm there.

Very Little -
Hamilton
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (3rd visit)
Buy majority of my tickets for shows on the day and maybe a few days in advance for other things. The joys of working an unpredictable work pattern.

I think I'm up to 13, or 14 if you count 'The Inheritance' as two separate tickets, and I'm sure there'll be at least a couple more before the end of the year.

Pippin
The Rink

42 so far, including Barnum and both musicals at Southwark, plus Chess. 42!! Wow. To be fair if I lived in London still I would have booked many more already. I've only booked a few so far, similar to many others: Barnum Hamilton x2 Caroline or Change Chess Fun Home Company Before the end of the year I will probably book for: Hair Pippin Spring Awakening which makes it look like I am obsessed with the Hope Mill but it's juat shows I happen to want to see! |

Not much yet. In London -
Pinocchio
The Grinning Man
Company (laaate in the year)
plus The Last Ship in Cardiff
plan to dayseat for Jamie and waiting for the cast announcement of Chess before I consider booking that
On this side of the channel, I have another opera booked in Liege (Carmen) and on the buzz of the Bat out of Hell cast recording booked for Tanz der Vampire when it's here in Cologne (I'll regret that).

I think I've got 10 shows booked for next year though there's a couple of repeats in that 9 (2x Hamilton, 2x Angels). I'll be booking NT stuff this week as well. ETA: 11 I forgot The Last Ship with @vierys oops! |

I have 22 bookings for 2018 so far but 12 of them are Mischief Movie Nights & 7 are Showstopper so I only have 3 other shows: Sondheim On Sondheim & A Little Bit Of Lerner, both at the RFH, and Opera North's Kiss Me Kate in Leeds. I also have several concerts on my "Dates To Reserve" list that booking hasn't opened for yet.

Just Network (and the Bryan Cranston Platform) and A Very Very Very Dark Matter at the moment (although I keep a list of everything I've booked to see on the Outlook diary on my pc at work and think its possible I've booked to see other shows on top of those).
