Rock of Ages was fabulous again! Loved noticing the differences with last week, such as the added lama, rose petals (at least didn't notice them before), Piccadilly Circus swapped for the Big Ben and Lonny remarking upon the fact that the actor who plays Drew was Fiyero in Wicked (I love Wicked <3).

I can't wait for next week's tickets :mrgreen:

Lovely to see RoA again. I didn't enjoy it quite as much this time as the audience didn't really get involved. There was little audience participation in the first act and I felt sorry for the actors, but the energy did pick up in the second half. Some of the jokes and references had changed so it was nice to spot those. Drew, JLC, Ward and the narrator were excellent as before but the understudy for Sherrie was not as good as the actress I saw last week. It is such a fun show that is quite tongue in cheek and doesn't take itself too seriously. I still can't help laughing at how ridiculous the car looked. There was more glitter/confetti thrown on the audience this time. I'm humming the songs to myself as I type this. :D

Nice to watch the show with valda, turtle and Celini. We had fabulous seats in row E in the stalls.

Celini went at 2pm to collect the tickets and was given back of the royal circle, later on turtle swapped them for the first two rows of the stalls, then I went tried to change them again and was rewarded with row E. :D Just goes to show that you may as well ask to swap if you are unhappy with your seats!

The box office lady didn't want to give me row E. She offered me row T but I said no, they were too far back, and asked to keep the original tickets. But she had put them back on the pile and someone else had given them to another customer. So she rummaged around until she could find me something close to the stage.
