Managed to get seats in the Second Circle, but still had an excellent view. There were rows of empty seats for some reason. We were unlucky enough to sit in front of a woman who kept jabbering on. Found it ironic when she laughed like a banshee at the mobile phone gag. We also joined the mass exodus at 10pm when we realized it could go on past midnight and would miss the last train. Shame really as despite the stops and starts the dancing was enchanting.

Did any FMUKer stay till the very end then, it sounds like everyone left before it finished! They might have to CGI in some audiences for the curtain call if they were hoping to show the audience!

I did wonder about how the smaller audience would affect the applause for the finale.

I expect they will cut and paste some enthusiastic clapping from early on in the performance, LOL.

They also said they would send round a donation box for victims of the Japanese disaster at the end of show. Shame lots of people left as they missed out on contributions.

I stayed until the end. It finished around 11:35pm! Pretty late haha

The second part was just as beautiful as the 1st and the ending was sad as expected. After the encores for taking a bow and the curtain dropped you could hear all the ballerinas cheering from behind to their success!

Money was collected at the end for the Tsunami victims in Japan :D

The applause was pretty loud none the less....probably were a fair few family members/production team around...there were a fair few sky members still there till the end too
