It looks like less than half the seats are available to book, looking at a selection of dates, as I can't believe that many seats have sold already. I'm curious as to why the publicity photo has Henry S holding up what looks to be a seagull. It was doves in the try-outs (my favourite of the acts). |

Previewing 6th-11th August at The Lowry too. Thanks for the heads up. I was going to book for a london show, but since its at the Lowry and there is a Sunday show, I'll be booking for that instead as I'm in Manchester for a theatre weekend anyway so I get to save the valuable london xmas theatre slot for something else. |

I'd already booked for the Vaudeville when The Lowry's email came through announcing Magic Goes Wrong was on priority sale to members. However, the dates in August coincide with when I'm at the Edinburgh Fringe so it's still worked out okay. Envious of those who get a mischievous sneak peak a few months before the rest of us though! |

Have booked for London, can’t make the Lowry dates. I love a good magic show and love the “goes wrong” plays, so this should be a match made in heaven. With this and Mary Poppins my December theatre trip is now complete.

Does anyone know how long members get priority booking for at the Lowry before public booking? I'm contemplating finding out where Manchester is... |

I’ve emailed the theatre tonight to enquire about ticket prices and booking info. The Quay theatre is the smallest of the two main theatres at the Lowry so all stalls seating gets excellent views. |

Most weeks it's members' priority on Thursday and general sale Friday so I'd expect public booking to open tomorrow morning from 10am. All stalls seats are £38.50. |

2nd row of Grand Circle for £20 couldn't be happier! View looks like it'll be good. I hope Penn and Teller do come over in June/July, always wanted to see them!

Thanks david & stevej678. I'm only prepared to contemplate trekking all the way up to Manchester (about 4h each way) if I can get a decent seat (i.e. front stalls) & as I'd only be able to do a Saturday matinee I'm worrying that all the decent seats might have already gone. |

All seats in the front five rows are currently still available for the 2pm matinee on the Saturday. |

I do like a Sunday matinee! |

Now I just have to hope the trains are running that weekend, the fare isn't too ruinous & there's not a heatwave! |

Glad you're all sorted! The Quays Theatre at The Lowry is air conditioned so there shouldn't be any issues with heat in the auditorium itself. And there's sometimes open water swimming in Salford Quays if you really need to cool off. 😉 |

Decided on the Saturday matinee rather than the Sunday matinee. Row D stalls. Should be a great afternoon at the Lowry. See you there Dawnstar ! |

I went to Cardiff to see the end of the MMN tour last July & the only time I was at a comfortable temperature was in the theatre! Trains, Travelodge & outdoors were all horribly hot. Yes, if david or anyone else going would like to meet up then we can PM seat numbers nearer the time. I'm always happy to meet people for some Mischief-related chat. (Warning: I can talk about Mischief for much longer than most other people want to!) |

As we're not really supposed to discuss that part in detail, would you like me to PM you with the potentially inappropriate bits I can remember? |

Mischief have tweeted that they're going to be on Comic Relief tonight with Magic Goes Wrong. (I swear that every time they're on TV I can't watch it live because I'm at the theatre! Usually seeing a Mischief show, though tonight for a change it's Showstopper.)
