I live here and try and see as many plays as possible, but my visits have been severly dwindling in the past few years as I feel there are more and more repeats.  I would really like to see Pericles, which only has a couple of days runs (not popular enough?) and especially Othello, which is never on.  I missed Taming of The shrew and merchant of venice which is my own fault but I am very disappointed with these line ups!!
Am very excited about seeing Galileo though!

Went to see this yesterday - managed to get day seats an hour or so before the play started but the staff were so friendly and welcoming, helped make our decision to buy the tickets :-)  

I really enjoyed the play - thought the cast were amazing but the material not so much.  As Beth mentions above, the telly is a big issue blocking Keith (who I was very impressed with) from view often!  The play as a whole has very little substance, the 'twists' are easy to work out and there is nothing that you are not expecting here.

I don;t want to be sexist here, but both my friend and myself felt a lot of it was lads humour (which we should have expected being a play called Our Boys) and although we laughed occasionally we were not in hysterics like a lot of the audience,

However, thought the cast as a whole was excellent - mainly went to see play for Matthew Lewis, who was great but thought the overall acting was fantastic in this play.

Yeah, I think so too.  I almost feel like it's harming the musical before it starts.  I am a bit shocked by prices throughout the west end recently, been a big jump in the last couple of years I feel and as I said can't get down for day seats early enough for a musical (generally been okay with plays!).....!!  I hope this does well.

I was really excited about going to see this and went in to buy tickets!  The Box Office man in the Adelphi Theatre was so very rude and unhelpful, that I left without buying or really investigating!!  However, I did see that some of the stalls were £95!!  I am so gobsmacked by this - think ordinary folk are being priced out here!!  I can't do day seats because can;t get down to London early enough!!  Am still excited to see this at some point but its been very much delayed at the moment!!
