Youth Nights

Instead, during Get Into London Theatre, it can be 'cheap entertainment evening', as 16-25 year olds can get £15 tickets for Monday evening performances. Never has there been a better excuse to get a group of friends together for a fun-filled, culture-packed inexpensive evening out.

Youth nights are designated to encourage independent theatre going amongst this age group only.

Really wanted Mary Poppins, but didn't get through for that one. Still, there's always the kids go free option in August.

Glad you got what you wanted.

DEFFO BRILL ML

so do you mean MP sold out while you were on the phone?????

or didn't you manage to ring at 11.57

Are you going to meet the cast ML???

Is it still EWAN McREGGOR??

I rang at 11.58 (thought it was 12 on my watch). She said she couldn't take any bookings at that time. So I re-dialled and dagnamit but I ended up in a queue. Never mind. Will try again in August.

Love Guys and Dolls so looking forward to taking DD1 to see it!

I know it is a really silly question but if you were on the phone to her at the stroke of 12 why couldn't she sell you the tickets then??????

They shouldn't have answered the phone a few minutes early should they ??????

like phoning the Dr at 8.15 am if you phone early you get answer machine but if you ring and they answer then you can make appointment
