As others have said, Saturday is best for big shows. On the Sunday, it’s usually only the shows that actually have performances that day

I feel a bit underwhelmed by the line up/schedule, i must say. Certainly seems the least exciting in a good few years. I usually try to go both days but will deffinitely give the Sunday a miss this year & won't stay all day Saturday either. Will leave after Eugenius. really very disappointing. |

Tina only gets 2 x 5 minute chunks while Thriller gets 2 x 20 minute chunks?!? The soloists are definitely underwhelming compared to previous years as well. I was originally gutted that I couldn't make it this year but I'm feeling alright about it now! 😁

Most of the shows after 2pm aren't currently on in the West End, they're all upcoming ones 😁 |

Giving it a miss this year, I'm working Saturday anyway and Sunday's line up just doesn't seem worth the coach fare. Rather use the money for the coach on another day and see a full show instead.

Once again I have to work Saturday morning so I will miss all the good stuff. One day!! I can go later that day and Sunday but I'm not sure how much of it I'm bothered about. Any idea who the Barricade Boys special guest will be?

How I long for the days when Mastercard were the sponsor and you could blag your way into the VIP enclosure.
I thought I'd take a punt this year and email WEL asking how to get into the enclosure and they actually responded but said it was for sponsors and if I wanted to avoid the crowds I should stay outside in the overflow area and watch on the big screen. Not the response I was after.

There should be some TheatreBoard flyers in the SOLT tent. If you happen to see them please do pick one or two up, not for yourself (you already know how fabulous it is here) but DO pass it to someone else in the crowd. Just any random person, maybe one who looks slightly obsessive, will be just fine. Help us spread the word. Thank you! (Don’t pick the whole lot up and start distributing them, as that’s probably not allowed)  |

I want to drop by later and catch some of the end if I can. Are there different areas to stand? I'm not that fussed about being able to see the stage well.

Forgot this started today. I'm working both shows at Drury Lane so will have to miss. For tomorrow, just how early need I arrive? The queues today looked so long!

Javert sang Stars.
It feels weird this year. No fancy VIP enclosure, hardly any stalls and Councillor Robert Davis (well he's here but they aren't talking to him. Not being from London and paying no attention I didn't realise he'd stepped down while they investigate him for misconduct).
Shows are good as usual though.
