See'in the Shows!
 
I'm going back to London this summer for the 4th time and would like to The Phantom of The Opera. When should I buy tickets? Should I buy them at the web-site? Is the show as good as it was 18 years ago?

Thanks!!

I finally saw this show in London this summer after having seen several other productions of it in the US. It was my favorite. I got half price tickets ahead of time, booked on line and sat in the front row of the royal circle (first mezzanine)-- great seats.
Look for specials about May or June.

HUH??? What on Earth do you mean? Were you upset because no one answered you question in 25 minutes? amazing . . . . .

Anyway - Phantom is no longer the hot ticket it once was (afterall it has been running for a generation). It isn't necessary to buy tickets ahead of time. Just watch for specials like the Mayor's theatre breaks, etc. Otherwise, just go to the 1/2 price TKTS booth on the day of performance, where it is usually available at 25% or sometimes 50% off.

And if you want a bargin meal, try the Stockpot in Panton Street between The Tkts booth and The Haymarket
