On sale now to DMT+ members. I’ve booked. Might be the last use of my membership (bought for advance access to Les mis concert tickets I then lost to covid!)

Great news, I'll hopefully be there on opening (preview) night. Absolutely loved this at Cheltenham. Disappointing if Rosemary Ashe isn't continuing though - she and John-Owen-Jones were sublime together. I think it will do well. Ticks every box with a credible and heartwarming storyline, likeable if flawed characters, plenty of laughs and strong musical numbers including a definite earworm among them...
Just want What's New Pussycat and Into The Woods to announce London transfers now.
Marketing opportunity to offer a selection of cakes pre-show and interval as Waitress did in London with pies ?

So opening night is Saturday 25 February, most stalls seats priced £80. Pricing exactly the same for Sunday 26 February.
However on Monday 27 February, which I've just booked, the £80 price drops to £50. That continues across the run. Weekdays £50, weekends £80. Am I right in thinking that's a much greater differential than usual ?

If Rosemary Ashe isn’t continuing with the show - can we have Claire Machin as “Pam” please!

Im definately going to see this as it sounds like great fun. Also Damian Humbley is in it and I love his voice. We need to see more of him in the west end.

I remember Damian from The Woman in White - didn’t realise he was still in the biz! He did Merrily at the Menier and then the West End, and Songs For A New World at St James's Theatre. Also Forbidden Broadway. I'm sure there is more.

John Owen-Jones is enough to make me buy a ticket but with Damian Humbley that’s a double whammy. I missed it when it was on at. Helge ham so I’m pleased about this. Tickets already booked

Tickets already booked I find it very strange seeing John outside of a non-Phantom/LM setting, as he is so much associated with those shows and played thousands of performances in them. Whether it was that weird play he was in with all the sex, or hosting WEL, or now this, it’s just weird to see him break away from those two roles.

He's a solid professional performer who can play hundreds of different roles. He's just another actor singer like the many many others no? I look forward to seeing the show! I heard great things on its previous run.

I heard great things on its previous run. I think you may have misinterpreted my post. He played Phantom and Valjean and very little else for two decades, pretty much non-stop. So yes, it is weird (different) to see him play parts in different types of shows which are against the type of his usual leading role in long-runner musicals.

What weird play about sex? The Wild Party? Oh yes I saw that. You threw me when you said play rather than musical. Have Victoria Hamilton-Barret in it if I recall. I saw it in The other Palace as it was then

It’s selling really well (unless they’re holding back a lot of tickets). I was really surprised when I looked.

Well I’ve just booked tickets. The cheapest ones so I won’t feel I’ve been too robbed if it’s rubbish, but I do like JOJ.

Never seen the TV show but tour reviews encouraged me to try booking. Prices however put paid to that as the advertised cheap deals for the first few weeks relate only to terrible seats. Or maybe there were better ones which I've missed?

Does anyone think there will be any New Year offers as I got DMT vouchers for Christmas specifically to buy tickets for this

I know the show can’t extend at its current theater because of a new show coming in, but is there a tour schedule set up for after the West end or is it possible that the show got transferred to a different theater if it takes off?
