I'm undecided as to whether to even try and get tickets. Like you say, it's not going to sell out super fast. It's not as exciting / intriguing as it could have been *sigh*

Mama, add me to the LES MIS loathers club. McIntosh is going to squeeze every last money making scheme he can think of from that show. Surely it isn't still filling the theatre in London?
#44
Posted: 6/4/10 at 11:28am
Its still filling a much smaller theatre than it did for its first 18 years.

As much as I also like me some Alfie Boe couldn't justify the expense of this, plus having seen Les Mis once this year (well ok end of Dec last year) cast is quite exciting, though dare I say not as exciting as the 10th anniversary?
oh and it's not near my birthday while we're sharing
