Am C14 and C15 for the evening. Tempted to book for the matinee as well...
My mum was completely blown away yesterday and says she's still trying to get her head around it. So happy she got to see Clare as Peggy. I think Bonnie had a cold but she was still fab.

it’s been a joy watching this thread for the past year and a half. It’s been nice also trying to guess who you all are when you come in to see the show and even getting to know some of you. I’m going to miss this show very much and the place I have called home for the past 11 years. It’s been an absolute joy to go out on a show as grand as this. It’s going to be a bittersweet night on the 5th but we will go out in style.

I’m sure if you have seen the show a few times you’d have definitely encountered me once or twice in the foyer.

Can I hazard a guess you're usually looking after the box office?

And please, please, please get Bonnie to Join Claire for the encore like she did at the beginning of the run. I'm in two minds about this - half of me would love to see that live rather than just the video I've watched so many times, but the other half thinks that Claire deserves every second of that encore to herself, especially in the final show. I can't make it to the matinee on the 5th but I'm A2 in the stalls for the last show. |

(There are two of us, I’m not that big!) |

Was advised by the box pffice this eve that Rush and Day Seats will be VERY few and far between next week, fair warning to those risking it. Thanks for the warning. I was thinking of trying to get a last-minute seat on either the Thursday or Friday to see Bonie Langford but I guess there's no point in trying as I'm not keen enough to pay full prices. |

Just checked.
Stalls AA13 for the matinee.
Stalls A11 in the evening.
Hope there's a few TB members around.

I suspect the final show will be an amazing atmosphere, especially if the cast change was anything to go by!

Saw this for the last time on Friday. Full cast. First time seeing Bonnie who was fabulous and looked to be enjoying herself immensely! She was the best Dorothy IMO although Sheena sang it better. I thought Bonnie struggled a bit vocally - her voice sounded tired. I have heard Tom Lister too, sing better. Again his voice sounded tired. But the show remains Clare Halse's. She is just amazing, as is the entire company. How I will miss this show!
The West End will be a poorer place when this show closes.

I want two finales at the final show. Yes, very greedy. The regular one and then the one with Bonnie and Clare.

I won't be responsible for my actions if they don't let Bonnie dance at the end...

I think Bonnie should dance at the matinee, which will hopefully be a muck up matinee anyway, so they can change things around.
Clare deserves her moment alone at the final show.

The cast change matinee was a muck up so I imagine this one will be too. My favourite moment was during the Regency Club scene, all the pairings dancing together were same sex couples. Considering there are several relationships in real life within the cast, it would be lovely to see that again.  |

Just me who's low-key in denial it's closing? I know it's happening obviously, but I'm just like DAMN. This is possibly the saddest closing for me.  |

I'm in denial too. I was a bit teary a couple of times on Friday - at the feet at the beginning, then the staircase. God knows what I'll be like on Sat!

I was there on Friday too and I must admit, the staircase and weirdly Clare's entrance got me a little bit tearful, think because I was like ooo this is one of the last times I'll see her do it! |

Really sad this is closing. The whole show is sheer joy and even Lulu couldn’t sink it. Though she tried really hard (or not).
It’s not often you see a show that spares no expense on its production values and the sheer number in the cast.
The end of the show with all those dancers on that vast stage will be a wonderful memory forever.

Dare I ask - will photos be ‘acceptable’ at curtain call - I would hate to appear on the bad behaviour thread 🤭
