Got to have a closer look at the stage, the set is phenomenal and the bedroom set is so steep! Could hardly stand, don't know how they do it!!
Second time, the dance has is starting to work - TOOK THE WORDS choreography is amazing now! The show is really tightening up, there was much less waiting for intros into songs than on the opening night too.
I love the show, I knew I would. It's amazing to watch it grow. In again on Thursday :P

See as much as I would have loved to go earlier, that's partly why I'm happy to wait until next month to see it to give it a little chance to get any immediate improvements bed in. I would like to get to London to see it but it's unlikely due mainly to timing so I'd like to see it as close to what London will be (barring any changes that are made between the runs to script and songs etc).
Also, Greg, on the ticket front, I know they did block off a lot of later seats for Manchester until the earlier shows were selling more, but as has been said I think London is doing well. There are always a few seats end up appearing close to the time, but in general I think what is there is what is there.
