I couldn't disagree more, this is what musical theatre should be IMO

From DMT website

Day Seats: A limited number of day seats will released from the box office at 10am each day priced at £10 each. They will be sold as 2 tickets per person on a first come, first served basis. The seats will be top price during previews and second price from 6th March.

Which would make it either back of the stalls or in the upper circle.

But why would you go and see if it the first place if you had no interest in the subject? It would be like me going to watch a football match then complaining because I found it dull.

Day seats are not feasible, I'll only be getting into London at 5pm.  I was just wondering if there was any chance of anywhere other than the Upper Circle, as I'm not sure I can convince the friend I'm going with that sitting up there will be fine...I don't mind sitting there though, so I guess it's time to try persuading her!

It's a show to be seen from the dress circle and upper circle by all accounts. Check out the theatre monkey website for seating advice.
I expect later on in the run the discounts will start to appear though, the Palladium is a big house to fill every night.

Forgettable songs?  Wow.  Which ones?  The book scenes do go on but ALL of the songs are wonderful.

I forgot...

Saw 3rd preview tonight. Wow, it was even better than I expected. I absolutely loved it, I need to see it again! Such talent on that stage.
If I had any problem, I would echo an earlier comment about Paul's monologue, I wasn't as moved as I should have been but this is only a minor niggle. Scarlett Strallen was ace and I take back everything I said about John Partridge, who even looked quite sexy.
I got my ticket from the TKTS booth in Leicester Square and was sat in the dress circle, which from what I could make out, gives the best view. Upper circle looked quite empty but otherwise a busy house.
Anyone in to musical theatre will love it I'm sure.

Day Seats- The stage at the Palladium is high so the front row day seats should be considered restricted view.

Sister Act - view not a problem. Saturday queue got busy at 9.50am and that was with Whoopee Golberg starring, we arrived 7am.
Wizard of Oz -  Did Dorothy wear Ruby Slippers? I also heard that there was a dog in the show. Saturday queue a couple of weeks into the run got busyish around 9.30am -9.40 would have been too late, again we arrived at 7am.
Chorus Line  - Expect to miss seeing from knee down in the dance numbers. If the choreography is why you're going then you may be disappointed.

I had similar thoughts. Think I would prefer to see it from the upper circle.

The set indeed is spectacular, I loved it. I didn't actually find the play itself that funny, nor did my surrounding patrons judging by their muteness, but the acting was superb and still definitely worth seeing.
Running time is 2hrs 40 mins inc interval.

And am I alone in thinking the Gerald Scarfe illustration looks like David Cameron ??
