Just wondered what shows you regret missing this year?
Mine are Show Boat, Dr Faustus and Titanic

I wouldn't have minded seeing Harrogate at the Royal Court but I'm otherwise satisfied with everything I did see.

None. I've seen all shows that I wanted to.

My list is painfully long but consists mainly of plays rather than shows, and in some cases I've either taken a gamble on a transfer to follow, or have known before the run ended that there would be one. This is now my standard policy with the Menier, due to their prices, so I'm hoping to catch Travesties in due course.
Lots of plays I've regretted missing have been at smaller venues with short runs, e.g. Thebes Land at the Arcola, which, though it doesn't end until Friday, I won't have time to see.

People places and things, into the woods, hangmen,showboat, the spoils
I would have also liked to have seen some in the Kenneth Branagh stuff live instead of the cinema.

Jesus Christ Superstar
I also regret no visit to The Globe this year. I like going as it is part of a feeling of summer (just as I also like at least one visit to the Open Air Theatre)

The Toxic Avenger
Jesus Christ Superstar
Grey Gardens
I also regret not being able to see In The Heights again before it closes in Jan.
I very very nearly didn't get to see Groundhog Day, so glad i managed to. That would have been the biggest regret had that not come off.

I saw nearly all the shows I wanted to but not all the stars!
Would have been good to see Sunset and The Last Five Years with their respective female leads rather than the understudies (though Ms Jones was excellent in the former).
The one I regret letting slip off my radar until it was too late was Groundhog Day.

The Flick (NT) Dorfman Theatre It was a remount of a hit New York production and I'd loved Annie Baker's previous two plays in London, Circle Mirror Transformation (Royal Court Haggerston, James Macdoald) and The Aliens (Bush, Peter Gill). But it was too hot a ticket so I never got to see it and, now it's high up in every critical Top Ten of the year, I'm even more peeved to have missed it. Roald Dahl's City of the Unexpected (NTW / WMC) Cardiff city centre I was there but saw very little because of the tens of thousands who had also turned up. The pop-up nature made the experience even more tiring and frustrating as I trudged, on an unseasonally hot day, for literally miles in a largely fruitless quest to find any performance. The online presence and live radio and recorded television highlights successfully conveyed the extraordinary achievement of the weekend, while aggravating the disappointment of being thwarted to have missed it all. We're Here Because We're Here (NT et al, Jeremy Deller) throughout the UK The peak, so far, of Rufus Norris's NT tenure. I wept and wept as I sifted through the online coverage. Magnificent! becausewearehere.co.uk/

Peter and the Starcatcher is the show that I'm most disappointed that I won't get the chance to see. It looks like just my sort of thing and with Evelyn Hopkins in the cast it seems hard to go wrong.
I was also disappointed to miss out on watching most of Rent on Saturday with the matinee cancelled 20 minutes in after a lengthy delay to the start. Just one of those things. I can catch it next year in Liverpool so won't miss out altogether but I do wonder if the vast Empire stage and auditorium will deliver quite the same experience as the St James Theatre.

Show Boat, Jesus Christ Superstar (though hoping to make up for that next year) and Groundhog Day.

Rather like the legend that is Noeline from 'Sylvania Waters', I have no regrets.

I had to miss Angels in America but I can take those sort of risks with the NT because NT Live might have an encore etc.
