well I want to start the year taking advantage of the offers, so a brace from Salad Days, Shrek, Spamalot and even Let It Be (£15!), Singing in The Rain are on my radar.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Shrek was awful... Spamalot was enjoyable and Singin' in the Rain is fantastic, though the cheaper day seats will have you drenched ;) Let it Be is just a tribute act, not a musical, and has come up with SFF before which might happen again. Out of those l think Salad Days has best value for money, hard to beat £12 for top price.

Got tickets for Salad Days next week, sooo glad it's good. I get the feeling that it's really underrated, given how reasonably priced the tickets are...

I think many people might just not know about it? I had not heard of Riverside Studios myself before seeing the show there. Will keep more of an eye on it now though :)

That's true and I guess it's probably less convenient because of it being outside of the west end too!

I like Riverside Studios, but it's a pain to get to. I'm a West End, not West London girl! :p I last went there during the Nordic film festival, when the weather was blimmin' freezing - that was an ordeal. Really enjoyed most of the films though, so it was worth it. Never seen a play there - what's the theatre bit like?

I was hoping for more SFF tickets for Let It Be, but sadly there has been nothing. I'm still trying to get around as many West End theatres as possible without p*ying for the privilege! You lot have your "100 free films in XXX" challenge, I have my own one. :p

Thinking about cashing in some reward points for a pair of theatre tickets - OH has had his eye on Matilda and Book of Morman for a while now and neither show seems likely to give away freebies.

The only offer I was considering was Book of Mormon with The Times which is on 4th July with some sort of Q&A and canapes and drinks to start; much cheaper than the Broadway prices which are crazy at the moment.

Matilda is amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed it when I went last Summer!

I think the Book of Mormon with it being quite new is unlikely to be offering many deals until its been out a while...

We saw Matilda last summer for my daughters birthday, it is very good, I'd be surprised to see any free tickets, it was hard enough to get decent seats at a decent price as it was. With the cast of mainly children they were just fantastic, but I can't say I was overly struck on the songs, the beat seemed to be thud, thud, thud!
