Thanks! I really appreciate all the advice here. Wish I could say it was for me, as it's been about a million years since I've been to a West End show, but it's for a friend who will be in London soon for six nights.

re: "I say it every time this comes up and I'll say it again. I LOVE nontraditional showtimes. For someone who can only get into the city once or twice a year, I love packing in as many shows as possible and nontraditional times help a lot with that."

Me, too! At the end of May, needing to catch up on Tony nominees, I did the very rare (perhaps never) thing of taking the train from DC on a Wednesday morning and returning after the Saturday matinee. In just over 72 hours' time I squeezed in six shows. Thanks to Gatsby's Thursday matinee, even more bang for my buck than I expected. 

Yes, please! And imagine the contemporary political humor treasure trove. I'm thinking of the Dubya reference back in the day in "For Now."

This is great! Thanks!

Thank you!

I know there are assorted West End posts here and there but for expediency, I'm hoping to get some recommendations for a trip this month. All ideas welcome. Thanks!

LOVED LOVED LOVED Willkommen performance! 

Thank you, everyone! Went to the box office with the code and got a great seat for the late show tonight without breaking the bank. 

I haven't been to the holiday show in more than 20 years, but am looking to fill a hole or two in my schedule Christmas Eve/Christmas. It seems like there are ample seats available at the performances I've checked but I'm not seeing any discount codes. Just wondering if I'm missing something somewhere. Thanks!

Trying to advise a friend on tickets for Leopoldstadt, which unfortunately I haven't seen. (Still hoping to beat the July 2 closing.)

Question is: How much does the mezz overhang interfere with the sight line? Elevated set or mostly at stage level?

Appreciate any help! 

Dylan Smith4: That would be awesome. I had no idea it had been streamed, or that it might be again. Was that for live performances only at the time? 

Good to know! Especially as I bit the bullet and bought the ticket. Thanks!

Thank you all for the help! I ended up seeing the magnificent Into the Woods. last night. I've been a little off my theater game lately (hadn't made up from the DC area since summertime) and was under the impression the ITW was sold out, at least for any "affordable" seat. But I ended up with a good one in the mid-mezzanine. 

Now trying to decide if I'm to keep wandering today or go to a matinee.

Thanks! I appreciate that perspective. What else among the newer offerings would you recommend? 

Thanks! That's what I was hoping to hear.

What a terrific, thoughtful review, Jimmyb1969. Thanks! I hope the MM team takes your suggestions to heart.

Also hope I can get tickets eventually. I loved the last incarnation (at least I think it was the most recent -- 2001?).
