Let’s hope their checking peoples negative tests etc is rigorous, or this will be shut down with COVID cases faster than you can say Audience Participation. I fully expect the people going this week to report seeing people turned away at the door.

Let's also hope that we now start talking about the musical rather than Covid.

Just wanted to report back that as a tourist I managed to get one of those free NHS lateral flow test kits at Boots after I showed them my collect code this morning. The nice lady told me they’ve had supply issues in recent weeks but a shipment arrived this morning. Just an FYI that some Boots or other places may not have these available so perhaps best to have NHS mail you one. I followed the easy instructions and after I reported my negative result, I received a text from NHS stating my negative result. I’ll admit I was impressed on how easy it was and relieved they sent text to my US cellphone number.

I fully expect the people going this week to report seeing people turned away at the door. No one should be turned away , and if they are. It’s not the fault of the production , theatre or staff. I’ve had two emails today saying what was needed. If people can’t follow simple rules and they are very simple. Than they deserve not to be seated. It’s quite simple follow the advice sent to you.

Crumbs, some dreadfully negative posting here. The show hasn't even opened! I personally am unlikely to see it, but I bet it's brilliant and hope everyone has fun tonight. I've heard some very exciting stuff from people I know in this show and it sounds like you're in for a treat.

They really aren't giving anything away are they. Annoying but also damm clever. I'm even tempted not to read any comments tomorrow from board members so everything is a complete surprise for me tomorrow night.

I’m going to the first matinee on 27/11, trying to decide if I avoid this board until then!

Arrive early. If coming in the next few days while they work out the kinks, took about thirty minutes to get in ( thank Jebus I’m anal and always arrive early! ) it feels like entering a private club. Stalls ticket holders enter via the basement, circle via a side door.

If you're that paranoid about it, probably best you stay at home.

I’m not going until next year so (hopefully) academic by then, but out of interest, I’ve just had covid, and am advised NOT to do another test for 90 days as there is a risk it will show false positive. I wonder what the rules say in those circumstances?

In almost every other circumstance proof of recent recovery is seen as equivalent to testing negative.

Plus they would surely have to tell people beforehand so people could choose to not bring their phone with them.

ATGs website actually says if you can't prove a negative result you 'may' not be admitted

Have the understudies been revealed yet. As they surely likely to be performing some of the afternoon shows.

Plus they would surely have to tell people beforehand so people could choose to not bring their phone with them. There is actually a really easy way of doing it, like they do at some film previews/screenings. You give every ticket holder a metallic type bag (you can't see or film through it) which you seal up as you go in. You keep your phone on you, but can't use it. Of course there will always be people who will try and work round it, but it definitely works.
