I got to the Noel coward theatre at 6.00 last night but they said I was too early and had to collect them from 6.30 onwards. I got mine at 630 but when we went back at 715 there were still people getting them then

Another question is how good is Hay Fever, I will have to get a train from portsmouth which will c*st around £16, is this worth it, I will spend the whole day in london though

Um, there are differing opinions on Hay Fever.

If you read the last few pages, you will find reviews from people who thought it was fantastic.

Personally, I found it dull and unfunny.

If you'll be in London for a full day make the most out of it. Having a day away from your own city can be nice for change.

If you go to Hay Fever let us know what you think after you've seen it! I have tickets for next week, but not convinced yet I want to I go.

Well a lot of critics seemed to like Hay Fever and critics can sometimes be right (not all the time HAYWIRE ;) ;) ) and also a lot of people have liked it, so it seems that it will be OK!

Just wait until you see Singing In The Rain!

Then your top 3 musicals may need to be revised! ;)

I saw singiing in the rain when it Premiered in Chichester got tix for £10, one of the best musicals I have every seen

I thought Singin In the Rain was tediously old fashioned, the set was not up to the standard of a West End show, the dancing wasn't in tune, the leads lacked charisma....I think I better stop there.
I was in the 3rd row of the stalls and yes the water splashing was very much a gimmick to wake up those who were falling asleep.... (saying that other people seem to like the show, they got a standing ovation at the end from everyone)
