It’s been quite high profile this week so I would expect it to be busier.

I got the email, and somehow got a position near the front of the queue, so was admitted within the first minute. There wasn't much left and some dates had no availability. I did manage to snag a Stalls seat near the front for Wednesday's matinee, so that will be a nice change from seeing this from the Dress Circle. After buying, you are still able to go back and buy again. I didn't buy again, but I did check was available. If anything, there were more seats showing at 12:30 or so than there were at 12:00. Top 500, you should definitely be able to get singles (but not necessarily ones in positions you want). Pairs are possible but less likely. What are the odds that the Wednesday matinee was the date I was looking for!! Haha enjoy:) kicking myself for leaving the queue but oh well, there’s always next time …

For any MR regulars: What is the best way of getting tickets for this (other than booking normally). It never seems to be on Rush, TodayTix discounts of TKTS. Is there a lottery? Do they ever do dynamic pricing? Are certain dates/nights better/easier? Thanks.

Works in a similar way to the National Theatre Friday rush, it's also on a Friday but slightly earlier at Noon. You get emailed the link to the queue for it at some point in the morning, join it around 12 and then you'll be able to see what is available for the following weeks shows. With any of the seats available through it at £29 each.

Great. Thanks so much! Just avoid the back of the dress circle! It is just too ‘out of it’ and the overhang makes it worse. Take the upper over bad dress seats. Enjoy.

Oh no, I really didn't like it. It doesn't have any of the heart or charm of the film. Left in the interval.
Didn't help a group of rowdy women behind me talked non stop.

Not just me then…it really doesn’t have any heart. That’s my biggest criticism. It should be breaking our hearts when it really just batters you with noise & movement. Some clever mash ups, and Melissa James was good when I went, but otherwise a big thumbs down.

It's why I haven't been back since the first preview (the two dreadful leading performances in the first cast didn't help) Its one of my favourite films because it's so powerful - risking everything for love and the stakes are life and death. This reduces it to cheap laughs and mugging every time a new pop song comes in, which the film never did.

The 2 current leads are WAY better than the dreadful originals

I hated the film and really didn’t want to see this because of the film but my friend really wanted to go for her birthday and I absolutely loved it
Tried the film again after seeing the show and still didn’t like it
We had seats just behind the can can seats and they were great although you do miss the effect of Santine’s entrance as it’s over before you realise it’s happening from those seats

The modern pop songs don't always fit, or sound corny - it just took me out of the story every time.
The singing was beautiful from the two leads.

I love the film and loved the show, but they are pretty different things.
The show is just a fun, brilliantly executed show. The type of which we don't see much of these days and what many will think of when wanting to see a 'west end/broadway show'.
The film has more heart and emotion and is darker in tone.

A really fun time, and I'm somebody who hates the Luhrmann film! It's not a great thought-provoking piece, but sometimes you want something easily consumable and fun (mostly).
Tanisha and Dom were both absolutely excellent as leads here, although Dom does still lean a bit Mormon in his accent at times! Both have long careers with much acclaim ahead of them, for my money.
Four stars from me.

Do we know what parts of the UK it is coming to?

Sounds like it might take the initial Mamma Mia approach to touring. One UK date then tour worldwide and come back once or twice a year for another UK date (usually at Christmas)
The set is such a big part of the staging, it just doesn't look the same from what I've seen of the US tour
