Thought they'd have more than 2 productions in the tent. Neville's Island has a very short run too. And where's Kate Mosse's Dodger?

I have to say im quite disappointed

[Pharaoh's number 2]

So am I, after the previous two great years. There are some fab creative teams on some of these shows, but it all feels a bit conservative and there aren't actually that many productions. I was hoping the tent would replicate the Festival Theatre schedule, with two shows in rep over the summer. Still, I'll probably see Barnum and Pajama Game, and wait for Ui to transfer. And I might catch If Only when I see Barnum.

Yeah im so glad I didnt become a friend for advance booking for so few shows

How does CFT booking go?  Is there actually anything left after the members get their tickets?

[Titan]

Yeah usually this early on, especially in the larger venue. The Minerva can get busy quickly though

[wickedgrin]

The Minerva sells out very quickly. Yes, I agree a VERY limited season. I would have expected more shows in the tent. They seem to be putting all their efforts into Barnum which will surely transfer into London anyway with Cam Mack behind it. So disappointing season after the last few years.

I was thinking of becoming a member but having looked at the way members book their seats I'm not particularly impressed. It appears you have to email a form with your dates, performance (eve/matinee) and a general area where you want to sit then they allocate you the actual seat. Is anyone a member & can confirm this? I much prefer to see a seating plan & select myself.  I want to see The Pajama Game & Barnum but need to be precise with dates due to summer commitments & worry I may be limited with choice when tickets are on general release. Can anyone advise?
