TKS:

More apologies, the new venue doesnt seem to be updating on existing tickets. Just to clarify we have cleared with Box Office so even with incorrect location, your ticket is valid.

Just make sure you go to the Wyndhams Theatre, Charing Cross Road NOT the old Vic.

Thanks for understanding, apologies for mistakes and have a good weekend

Can you just imagine the day they are having in the office there? And I thought MY day was shit.

LOL, indeed. Quite the palaver.

Am quite happy with The King's Speech tickets instead - what a flurry!

yeah baby its all good.

Since I've discovered fmuk and sff, every week has been my birthday. To think we only used to go to the cinema once a year at Xmas lol, I've now closing in on seeing 10 times more films in 2 years than I had in the years previous total.

Saw Monkee business tonight at the opera house. We got there early to pick up our tickets at 5:00 and there was already a que! Anyway the show was ok i would say that the story needs a bit of work in places to make it more entertaining. The music was very good and all the actors played their parts well. Overall not a bad night out. 6/10

What an amazing night at the Novello Theatre for Noises Off tonight! Am grateful for the miscommunication in regards to tickets before as it meant we could now attend press night and how great it was

Celini, funthing29 and I had our own private box (first time I'd been in a box) which was so close to the stage that oftentimes it felt I was standing right in front of the actors!

And because it was press night, it was celeb spotting galore. The majority funthing had to point out to me (amongst others Downton Abbey cast) but I spotted Tom Hiddleston sitting just below us (and had a great time watching his gorgeous laugh during the play <3).

As for the play itself: while it had a bit of a slow start which made me think "is this it??" it soon take off and had me laughing all the way trough. Honestly, even funnier than One Man, Two Guvnors a few weeks ago and I already thought that was hilarious.

In fact, at the end of act 2 I literally was asking for more so was very glad when there was a third act (even though I wanted even more after that! It just got more crazy and ridiculous as the show progressed and was just so funny!!).

And absolutely sublime cast as well, filled with British acting legends from Celia Imrie (who I'd last seen in The Best Exotic Marigol Hotel) to Robert Glenister (yes, brother of) and Karl Johnson (who I'd seen in Frankenstein at the National Theatre last year).

9.5 for the show (not a 10 as the start was a bit slow) and 10+ for a fantastic evening out!

Saw 'Noises Off' tonight ... brilliant!! Especially the second half. So manic!! Ronnie Corbett and his wife were in the audience and Brendan Coyle from Downton Abbey. Once we'd exchanged our tickets, my daughter and I went to get a coffee and had a look at The Big Egg Hunt in Covent Garden. We got chatting to Martin Ball, an actor who's been in loads of stuff on the tele (due to having kids, I know him from Bernard's Watch and The Home Farm Twins!) ... such a lovely bloke ... he's going to be in Top Hat.

Just read your review c_t ... I saw some girls in the box - now I know it was you three!!
