ATG are touring it next year but it might be a different production than the London one

I've only ever sat in the Stalls for this show, does anyone have any seating advice (have looked at TheatreMonkey) for the Grand (Upper) Circle?

I'm looking at going in August and so far most of the Grand Circle is available for booking and all seats at £25 with an ATG Theatre Card. I am quite tall (6'3'' - if this helps with your advice!) and another option is the very last row of the Royal Circle.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

This is not meant to sound patronising in any way (it will probably end up being so), but are you familiar with bootlegs?

Oh yeah i am, just surprised as there has been like no full show of it on YouTube

the grand circle is very steep and you will miss the effects on the subway train and some other effects - I have been lots of times and only did the grand circle one as I didnt enjoy it.. Royal circle is fine .. the very back row is ok ... have you thought of trying for an aisle seat ? I am 6 foot and find the seat pitch at the Piccadilly bad so get around it by getting aisles wherever possible

I am looking at getting the centre aisle of Row A in the Grand Circle. May just have to go for it and see how I get on!

Ah OK. There are many full shows on Youtube, but they're often hard to find as they may just have the initials of a song name or similar and no description or tag for fear of attracting unwanted attention. Certain channels are gold mines for fans of bootlegs.

Saw the matinee on Saturday and it was my 6th time seeing the show.

Absolutely loved it as always and for the first time it hit me how much I am going to miss this show after October. We met Mark at the Stage Door beforehand and he was shattered bless him but you'd never have known to have seen him on stage- it was the most intense performance I've seen from him yet and my pulse was racing 10 to the dozen at the end of IHAL. I am so excited to see what he can pull out the bag in October now I really am.

Rebecca was brilliant as Molly and has come on loads since I saw her in May. Her voice was fantastic and I love the chemistry she and Mark have- they are really cute and believable together.

Sharon- what can I say! Complete and utter brilliance and had the audience in the palm of her hand the whole way through. We had Jenny and Olivia on as Louise and Clara- well I've never seen a more hilarious "Are You A Believer?"- my belly was aching from laughing by the end.

Andrew was great as Carl as always and really made you feel like Carl was a man totally on the edge and in danger of losing it.

As always by the time it got to the end of the show my stomach was just completely churned and I felt like I'd been on the journey with the characters. It really is such a wonderful show and I don't think there'll be anything quite like it for a while.

The only slight annoyance was some dirty minded individual who decided to laugh extremely loudly when Oda said "Alright Sam you can use me, you can enter my body" and then again, even more inappropriately at the "I love you Molly, I've always loved you!" "Ditto!"- totally ruining the moment! but other than that superb!

Now looking forward to my penultimate visit in September before the big day in October!
