Hey does anybody know why Jack Christou left the West End Production after a very short run? I was expecting to see hin as Henry Creel this February and I always wondered what happened there… Sorry if this subject has already been posted, I haven‘t found anything regarding that matter… Thanks! :)

Hi, basically I am an idiot and I have purchased the lottery tickets for next Friday’s matinee showing thinking it was for this Friday. Would anyone be interested in them, just keen to get back what I paid (£60)?

I've been going to the theatre in London for years and realised I didn't have a decent record of everything I'd seen. I could remember the shows that stood out and I loved, but not necessarily when I'd seen something, which production it was, who I went with, or what I thought about it at the time.

I worked as an actor for ~15 years until Covid and now I'm a software developer (slight change...), so rather than doing the sensible thing and making a spreadsheet, I've ended up building a whole website.

It's called First Night. I've had friends and family testing it for a while, and I've finally got it to the point where I'm happy opening it up to other theatre-goers.

You can:

• log shows you've seen
• add ratings and notes
• keep track of things you're going to see or want to see
• follow other theatre-goers
• build up your theatre history

A lot of the catalogue is focused on London/West End theatre at the moment, which is why I hoped people here might find it useful.

It's free, and I'm still actively building it.

I'd genuinely love feedback from people who go to the theatre regularly - especially:

What would something like this need to do for you to actually remember to use it after every show?

And what would you love to see it do that it doesn't already?

If you try it and find something confusing, broken or obviously missing, please tell me. That's useful too.

I thought it was a 2:30pm showing and it turns out it's a 7:30pm showing which I won't make it to my flight.

And apparently refunds aren't a thing, so is there a way I can just resell this?

Edit: MY SOLUTION HAS BEEN SOLVED, THANKS

Hi all, I have two tickets to see Hamilton soon and am going with my sister who is 14 and I’m 17.
I’ve just checked the policy and London theatre has said that if you’re under the age of 16 you must be accompanied by an 18+ year old. I’ve been really looking forward to this and would like to know from people’s past experience if the staff check proof of age before letting you in.
Advice would be appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽thank you

Have one matinee ticket for £30 (face value). I can't go now and unfortunately I'm not able to swap it for another time as it's sold out.

Please comment below or DM me. Thanks!

Please forgive me if this isn’t allowed.

I managed to get one standing ticket for JCS on Wednesday 11th November, and I have been beyond excited about it since I bought it. However, my wife’s plans have changed since I booked the ticket, meaning she will now be away that evening so I can’t go as we have no childcare. So, this is a long shot, but does anyone have a single standing ticket that they would be willing to swap with mine?

I assume this is ok as per the rules of the sub (since this is a ticket rather than “items” I don’t think it contravenes Rule 4) and that they don’t have a check against a list of names of people who are standing each night. If either of these things aren’t ok then do let me know on here or just delete the post)

Wanted to book tickets but wanted to check the reviews first. Strangely enough, can't find any long or detailed reviews - is it so bad, unremarkable, or is it just flying under the radar?

Any news on The Popinjay Cavalier?
Tickets go on sale Monday, but there’s still no information about performance dates, the theatre or ticket prices. Does anyone have any insider info? Trying to plan a trip to London with friends!

Hi, due to an emergency, I'm unable to attend tonight's performance of Fences at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre. I have 1 ticket for sale at GBP 25 which can be transfered via TodayTix.

The ticket is for the Stalls, Row F, Seat 3.

I've also listed it on Twickets: https://www.twickets.live/event/2108928412448985088

Thank you.

OMG! Seeing Crawford and Brightman in the boat made the entire evening worthwhile. Speaking as a Phan of 100+ visits around the globe, it’s not the moment for me to dissect/give views about the show itself (I thought it was generally fine, the cast adequate), that stuff can come tomorrow after a happy sleep.

But just to see 84 year old Michael Crawford singing the title song, coming downstage in the gondola with La Brightman, and then singing some of Music of the Night overrides any critical thoughts or perspective tonight.

Genuinely my heart skipped a beat when I heard his first line, but I wasn’t 100% sure it was him - and the name only came up after he started singing. So there was a magical moment of the entire audience holding their breath and then the release when Michael and Sarah’s names came up. It was absolutely electric in that moment. One of the most exhilarating single moments I’ve had in a theatre, even as a Phan who has been to all of these major anniversary events since the 18th for this and Les Mis.

Lovely free brochure too!
