Seeing the matinee of this today and will be interesting to see just how full the theatre ends up being. Having watched the seat availability for the last month for this performance it's been a surprise how slow sales have been, pretty much have the same available now as in July. The special offers which pop up have not seemed to work and have only been flash or running for a couple of days and as 11am today the theatre is maybe 50% full but apart from a few seats on TKTS there is no reduction on any sites. Today tix said they had a rush but must have been very few as available seats looks the same as last night. With the rave reviews it's a surprise it's not more heavily booked. But also that they have been more active with discount to try and get people in. If it's fuller than current bookings at 4pm presumably mean people are making very last minute decision on what they will see.

Friday night was about 50%, but I wondered if that was lowered due to the transport strikes. Very disappointing to see given the quality of the show. Those that were there loved it, almost complete standing ovation.

At the end during the applause he turned to me and said “is it always this good?” 🙂.
Ahhh if only. Can’t wait to see this again in Cardiff in October. Gold standard MT.

Some £32.50 front stalls seats have popped up on TodayTix for a few nights this week. I just picked up a couple.

Lots there at the mo - those seats were (and probably still are) mostly £100 on the Sadler’s Wells website. Coming up for me on TodayTix and could add to basket - is it not letting you check out?

Looks okay to me on TodayTix and is going through to the checkout page. I doubt it’s an error as they’ve been selectively discounting throughout the run. Likely just making sure the final performances are full.

I had them in the basket, then they said there was a problem, and to try a different method of payment. I tried Mastercard and Visa (don't have Google Pay), but the same message came up each time. I know there is no problem with my cards, so have emailed them, and am awaiting a reply.

That’s really frustrating! Fingers crossed they’ll get it sorted quickly - there were quite a few good centre stalls seats showing so hopefully they’ll still be there when they’ve got it fixed for you 🤞🏻

Well, whatever the issue was last night, everything is fine now. Two tickets duly purchased for Saturday afternoon.

Those payment issues with TodayTix happen every so often, unfortunately. Sometimes I can only use Apple Pay, sometimes I can only use a certain card (even when they're being accepted everywhere else). IT's most of a pain with rush tickets when you only have five minutes to get the purchase through.

Are Gina and Julian doing the rest of the tour after Sadlers Wells does anyone know? I couldn’t remember if they were signed on for the run after or not. Thanks.

Having checked TodayTix last night & twice today, they've annoyingly had tickets on offer for every day this week except the day I'm looking at going, Thursday. Typical!

I’m sure you’ll have taken a look at the Sadler’s Wells site too, and if it’s showing lots of availability then I’d just keep checking TodayTix and with a bit of luck they’ll apply offer prices to some of the seats 🤞🏻

Had been holding on for last minute ticket offers due to so many unsold seats on last Sunday matinee but they never came up. In the end used the online TKTS and while ended up in the circle it was an aisle seat for leg room and superb view and an absolute bargain. Sunday ended up bit fuller than expected but given reviews and short run it should have sold better. Certainly worth seeing live and was interesting seeing the changes done from the on-demand screening version.

This is a truly immaculate production. Stunning in every way and I absolutely loved it.
However, the temperature in Sadler's Wells last night was unforgivable - it was like they kept turning the aircon on and off every 5 minutes! Surely inexcusable in a modern building. Maybe they were just trying to immerse us in island life?

Maybe they were just trying to immerse us in island life? Oh no. I'm planning on going this evening, if the trains unscrew themselves in time. That's very worry to read that the air con's now not working properly. It was fine when I was last there, on 9th July. I'm not sure I want to go now if it's going to be horribly hot.

It's a lot cooler in London today than it was yesterday (and it's raining!), so I wouldn't worry.

Would people suggest stalls or dress circle for this? I'm probably going to go for a top band ticket (first trip back to a 'proper' show, I want a treat!), and I know the theatre. But I'm wondering whether the staging would make one preferable over the other.

His next question was "Why is the actor playing Emile the same age as Nellie?" Took me a while to work out why I was less than impressed with one of my favourite musicals. Loved the actress playing Nellie and (normally) love Mr Ovendon. However this is the first time I've seen it when I was older than Emile! I've been depressed ever since...

Does that hugely matter though? If so, why?
