My mum did and thought it was excellent. Wasn't just illusions - there were contortionists, acrobats etc. She'd love to go again!

I think she said they were in the dress circle - was not impressed when she saw where they were but actually the view turned out to be good. Shall ask for more details when I speak to her! Let me know if you need a +1 ;) My mum is very sweet! LOL

I figured it might be dress circle... Might try to go early (it's right around the corner from my work) and ask for good tickets...

I think she got there just after 6.30... she didn't report any problems (and tickets were not in her name, they were courtesy of Beate) so must have been fine.

I went yesterday after getting lucky and grabbing last minute tickets for it! It must have been a cancellation because I had been checking before and there were none left. 8-)

I collected the tickets quite late, around 7.15. I think they have allocated certain areas to SFF tickets. Ours were in Dress Circle, row H. But the view was great (provided you don't get a giant in front of you). Not a lot of leg room though! The only thing we could not see was when he went into the Stalls (it happened briefly about 3/4 times only).

We thoroughly enjoyed the show! Apart from the usual magic tricks of people disappearing in all sorts of strange boxes, there were circus acts. Two of them, the tightrope walker and the 'You & Me couple' are truly amazing. Hans Klok uses humour to engage with the audience. Most incredible is that the magic tricks happen in the blink of an eye!

He puts on a great show and is well supported by all the dancers, artists and the music. Yesterday was the opening night and it got a huge response from the audience! Everyone was clapping ans cheering at the end.
