Saw Siro A on Tuesday at the 2.30 show. It was entertaining but not specifically my kind of thing. I liked what they did, but for me it felt as though even at an hour it was a bit too long. Perhaps it might have been more impressive in a production of a variety type show. Still it entertained everyone from school kids, teenagers and adults alike, and it was certainly different. Good luck to them! 6/10

I was lucky enough to attend the Book of Mormon dress rehearsal tonight and Oh Em Gosh, it is the most amazing thing that I have ever seen! Hilarious and outrageous, the show is.... 'something incredible'!

My new favourite West End show for sure and doesn't deserve any less than a 10/10.

^ I concur with the above.

Book of Mormon may well become my favourite musical ever, it is that good. I thought it was sensational with wonderfully catchy songs and hilariously funny. My cheeks hurt from laughing so much. I rate this a rare 10/10.

Wow, a resounding thumbs up then. So this is one to save up for. Out of interest what rows are good for this show ? I'm not familiar with Prince of Wales theatre.

I was initially disappointed that our seats were as far back as row O in the stalls but despite this (and being slightly towards the side) we still had a brilliant view. I think mostly all stalls seats will be good, though more towards the front and middle is always better. The stage is quite far removed from the audience so even the first few rows would be fine, without audience members having to look all the way up. Can't comment on the dress circle in that theatre as I have never been up there.

Thanks for the info

No problem!

I also had complimentary tickets to see Top Hat again this week (I saw it once before when the show had just transferred to the West End) and I have to say that the new cast is phenomenal. I really enjoyed it before but now with Gavin Lee as Jerry and Alex Gaumond as Alberto it's definitely one of my favourite show! Beautiful choreography, catchy musical numbers and incredibly funny. Highly recommend it!

I hadn't originally fancied Top Hat, but am now thinking perhaps I should see it after all. And Book Of Mormon sounds like a must-see, even if it's likely to be impossible to get a ticket for ages. I wasn't planning on this extra expense but at least I will have time to save up for tix, as both shows will be on for some time yet.
