| In general, if you're booking in advance at the moment the best place to start for tickets is the show's own website. The TKTS booth in Leicester Square is operating; the Today Tix app/website is also an easy source for last-minute tickets. Londontheatre.co.uk is legit but fees might be higher than via a show's own website. I highly recommend Small Island at the National; their website will tell you how to go about getting day seats, which are available for every performance even if the show is sold out. Theatremonkey and seatplan.com offer excellent advice on seat locations within each West End theatre, and are particularly useful when it comes to trying to figure out whether a restricted view seat is going to be a bargain or a nightmare (in the Old Vic, for example, some restricted-view seats are an absolute steal, but some are awful). I don't always love jukebox musicals, but & Juliet is enormous fun. Back To The Future is a mediocre piece of writing but great *entertainment* - the spectacle is sensational, the performances are good, and it's a great night out. Even after Redmayne and Buckley leave, Cabaret is going to be a fairly expensive ticket anywhere below the upper circle. A lot of people liked it more than I did, and I might like it more with Fra Fee and Amy Lennox (both wonderful talents) than I did with Redmayne and Buckley - but then I saw a preview, and there were probably changes after I saw it. The supporting performances are superb, particularly Liza Sadovy, Elliot Levey, and Anna-Jane Casey (Fraulein Schneider, Herr Schultz, and Fraulein Kost). For Cabaret, the venue apparently still requires each patron to show proof of a negative Covid test taken within 48 hours of the performance. Either a PCR test or a lateral flow test is fine; for a visitor, that's going to require a little advance planning (UK customers can just take an NHS home test, upload the result, and show the confirmation text). They do check at the door, so don't be caught out (it's in the FAQs on the show's website, but I think maybe not on the front page). Get to the theatre early - you'll have to line up outside, and the pre-show in the lobby is part of the experience. I hope this helps, and enjoy your trip. |
