Saw today's matinee and thought it was really great. Phenomenal effects I'd never expect for a touring production!

Loved the cast. Wendy Mae Brown's comic timing was spot on, David was good as Carl (even though he looked quite young and - at least to me - more than a recent high school graduate than an investment banker) and Stewart Clark was a really strong Sam.
Personal highlight was Rebecca. Her voice was stunning and gave me goosebumps whenever she sang.

But I also thought that You gotta let go was just an OK replacement for Ball of Wax and I was extremely disappointed that they totally changed Life turns on a dime - one of my favourite songs.

Quite strangely I (being 28) seemed to be one of the younger persons in the audience.

Luckily I'll be seeing this again on Sat Eve! And now I'm off to Ugahanda again!

Show still very strong. Wendy Mae Brown stole the show - had the audience in her hands when she was on stage. Ghost needs to come back to the West End

The comments on ticket prices for Ghost in the West End are very true.  I loved the show but only saw it twice as the only offers I could ever find were right at the back of the stalls.  If there'd been any decent discounts I'd certainly have gone again.

Try Travel zoo (type in TZOO in offers option on ATG website) I got top seats, Row c centre stalls for just £20. Absolute bargain and made the show even better than I thought possible!

There were a wealth of discounts for at least the last month. I didn't even see it until August or September, then went a few more times as we could get the first few rows of the stalls for £30-35 on offer. It's one of those annoying things though where top price seats are on the offer but premium aren't, so you have to watch their dynamic pricing for when the premium seats drop down to top price and are eligible for discounts, then grab them. I wish they'd ban premium seats. Are the Saturday night premiums at Wicked over £100 yet?! They will be. Ludicrous.

Agree with the poster who pointed out that tours coming to Wimbledon so soon after London are always going to struggle - good point well made. (Sorry I can't be bothered to quote). It's a nice theatre though, especially with the first couple of rows taken out, row A has a brilliant view for this production. Maybe not for first time viewers though, you can see how one or two of the tricks are done.

I really miss the glass box from London. I understand that it must be impossible to take on tour, but it was absolutely amazing to see Sam disappear before your eyes. Shame

Everytime I looked at offers the seat allocations were awful so even at half off I wasnt going to bother

Wicked had one of the first seat sales ive seen for it the other day, with Last Minute I think. Usually its just no booking fees but this was top price wicked seats for £40 ish I think

Glass box? Do you mean the Blue Room illusion?

Can anyone tell me what merchandise is on sale for the tour??
