Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
I think the turtle holds the record hehe
and possibly, celini, as she seems to be able to recite it!
Great seats in Royal Circle, saw it from a different angle so that was great! However, thanks to the turtle we moved to the second row in the Royal Circle as there was a whole half row empty and got an even better view, especially the balcony scenes we were almost eye to eye!
As I said before story is corny, but I didn't go for that, I went for the music, the songs and the energy and for Justin and Oliver - wow, I like him more and more! So I had to go to the stagedoor to catch him again, so I did and even got his autograph this time, and I didn't even have to wait, as when I got there a few cast members were already out!
But what a palaver in getting tickets. My friend is a VIP member but she didn't want to go again, so got me tickets so I could go again with other friends. Unfortunately, I was out all day and could not print it off but luckily I had another friend whose office was one tube stop away, so asked her to print it off for me, luckily, she was working late! So I had forgotten that the ticket would not be in my name, and to ask for a changeofname email. Anyway, got to theatre at 6.15pm and I had a horrible guy in the box office, who asked me for my ID, so I said that my friend could not get here till after 7pm and asked me to pick the tickets up, but he just said that's fine, we can wait!
I then went back five minutes later to say my friend just called and she can't make it after all, and can I still get the tickets, and he can speak to her if he wanted to as she is on the phone now, so he sent me to another guy to check, the other guy didn't even let me explain but just asked how many tickets I wanted! I did ask for stalls but he said there was none left. So I think it depends on who you get whether you get ID'd or not!

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
Highlight of tonight's show (or so I've heard...): Justin Lee Collins getting into a laughing fit at the end of the Lonny/Dennis duet XD
Low point (? a bit embarrasing at least) locking eyes with an actor and he saying to us "You were in again tonight?"

Oh, yeah, and we didn't help as we were cheering and whoop-ing!canadian_turtle wrote:Highlight of tonight's show (or so I've heard...): Justin Lee Collins getting into a laughing fit at the end of the Lonny/Dennis duet XD
I did feel the show have improved from two weeks ago though, and it seems less raunchy this time. May be they have been told to tone it down?
Anyway, I want to go again!

Re: Free Theatre/Concert Tickets Discussion Thread
I have to say that I haven't noticed improvements, but I have noticed changes just to keep it different and interesting each time.
As for the raunchy-ness, might be because two of the ensemble were under studies and not as much immersed into the whole stripper act? I don't know why they'd tone it done purposely, they show is advertised as 16+ so people should know what they're getting into. I actually find it quite tame, for all the suggestive dancing we see there isn't any full nudity like in say Hair.
I loved that JLC got into a laughing fit, I'm still hoping for Oli to crack up when Drew and Sherrie are on top of the Hollywood Hills and he's getting that little dance that's only going on in their heads.

Highlights: I also liked the nipple tassel malfunction; is it so hard to make this thing swings?
(by the way HP, do you have tickets, have you been, are you going?)
