Il going in December, but there have been some decent prices deals popping up in the last few weeks.Just watching Sondheim's Old Friends on iPlayer. I remember it being on over Christmas last year l, but totally forgot about it until Haydn Gwynne's death reminded me of it.
And now toying with the idea of coming up to the Glitteriing West End for it.
I went to Sunset Boulevard yesterday evening. Enjoyed the second half more than the first. Nicole was very good vocally and had a few funny/knowing lines. Was my first experience of the Savoy, the Grand Circle is very far up (maybe it is everywhere, it's not a section I tend to go for when buying tickets myself) and there was an annoying railing that was getting in the way whenever they were at the front of the stage and obscuring my view of the male lead in his underwear ()
The talk amongst my group afterwards was all about
the start of the second half being out on the Strand - is it done live each performance, or are there two or three pre-recorded versions that are made to look live by matching the time of day and weather? Considering turning up outside at 9pm one day to find out

Been on my list for ages. Something tells me this is gonna stick around for quite a while.Tickets booked for Operation Mincemeat. Not until next April, but pleasing regardless. Reviews say it's an absolute blast.

Sunset Boulevard booked for Friday 29th DecSince it was announced I knew I would like to go in that period beyween xmas and NY.
The last time I went to The Savoy Theatre was Legally Blonde years ago and remember loving it, so I am excited all round
I’m going again on 16th December with some better seats - already have matinee for Sondheim and Friends on the same day, so that should be a good one!
LOVED Roald Dahl’s The Witches musical! I prefer it to Matilda. So many great lines, brilliantly staged and acted from everyone. This needs a proper West End transfer.
So Sunset Blvd. last night was INCREDIBLE. I've never seen anything like it, it's one of the best evenings I've had in the theatre for years.
Nicole is completely sensational and brings the house down multiple times mid-show, the production is beautifully conceived, the score sounds stunning. Tom Francis was a fantastic Joe (anyone's better than that awful Barrowman) and Loved David Thaxton as Max too - what a voice. So many amazing moments that I won't spoil - I can't recommend it enough.
I've seen the original big set production (once with Betty Buckley and once with Dame Elaine), as well as the Glenn Close Coliseum take a few years ago, but I can't imagine going back to a traditional turban version of it after this, when casting Norma as a young woman who has lost none of her star power but still has been forgotten and sidelined works incredibly well. The attraction between her and Joe is sizzling in a way I haven't seen before.
We were in Row G in the stalls and it was intense. I really don't like the Savoy much as a theatre, but the compactness of it really makes this production work.
Five stars!
They’re probably better than you think due to the raked seats. Ours were £100 but any closer in the Dress Circle were £200-£300. ATG put those shitty “champagne packages” on any decent seatI paid around £80 for absolute DOG SHIT tickets!
I’ve seen top seats priced at £295.00, which I think is INSANE but people are buying them.
Is Sunset worth seeing even if it isn't Nicole?

Rachel Tucker does the Mondays and people seem to really rate her performance and her, so I'd say it is. It's a great production in any event. However, there's definitely something special about seeing Scherzinger, a pop star in her 40s, in the role though - it definitely adds an extra layer to the evening.
The only day I can do is New Year’s Day
Branagh's take on Lear is painful with or without the state of the seating.Wyndhams Theatre needs a serious refurbishment. The prices they charge for those horribly uncomfortable seats are ridiculous. I was struggling with a few short productions there in the mid stalls.
My friends want to see Long Day’s Journey Into Night, but at 3 and a half hours I don’t think I could hack it at that venue. Seeing King Lear there must be painful.
One of my friends bought the super expensive tickets as a treat for her friend’s birthday. Maybe I’ll wait for their review. I’d love to see Lear one day as I did it for A-Level. Just annoyed I never saw the Glenda Jackson version.Branagh's take on Lear is painful with or without the state of the seating.
