Joseph for that time is priced at £62.50 a ticket for the weekend and £56.65 during the week! I've so far looked at Wicked, Les Mis, Mamma Mia and Avenue Q and there all cheaper to I think I'll be off to see a couple of them!”

I've booked my tickets. If you go to seetickets.com there is no booking fee and the highest priced tkt was £49.50 for the stalls and the dress circle but seats are quite booked up in them for the weekends.

Les Mis s amazing - best show you could go and see. Ave Q is so different from other shows that its well worth watching. If you are not sure whether or not to see wicked, i would recommend reading the book, which is great. If you really love the book, you'll prob really enjoy the show. I quite liked mamma mia, but i personally wasn't blown away by it, and i wouldn't have paid full price to see it.(got half price tickets). I am a abba fan, but was abit disappointed with the show.

I bought tickets as did my friends but unless any of the remaining limp lettuces seriously raise their game, they're going back.

I am amazed anyone would buy tickets before knowing if the lead role is going to be played by someone with talent.i hope the only remaining talented contestant wins so you won't need to send them back.

I have.

Even if my favourite doesn't win I'll still go.

I'm actually in London on the 13th and 14th July but I've seen Joseph before so I'm not committing myself to a ticket either way until I know where Lee stands. I'd pay to see him in more or less anything, but there are so many good shows on in London I'm biding my time. And if I was really unlucky and Lee won but I couldn't get a ticket, I'd at least call in for a glossy show brochure to take home, and buy a ticket for a later trip there.

There was only ever 3 of the contestants that i thought was good enough to pay money to see play a lead role, and 2 of them are gone, so i have held off on the tickets. If you are happy to go see it regardless of who plays the lead then its prob a good idea to buy them early as they will prob sell quite quickly.

Good plan - i couldn't bare to think of paying money for tickets only to find myself having to endure the torture of having to watch arrogant ben murder a song like close every door!

Haven't you heard of Ebay?

Buy good tickets now and if your fave is off, sell them on to someone's who's a fan of the winner.... (Well sell them to ALW as he seems to be deciding on who's the winner at the moment

)

Seems like a whole lot of hassle - would rather just buy tickets at a later date like with maria.

Because the role of Joseph isn't as vocally demanding as something like Maria - one would assume that there would be no need for a second 'Joseph' like Aoife is doing to cover Connie.

So in past shows Lee and Daniel would only have ever come on as the lead to cover sickness or holiday ... not as a second lead - ie Tues and Thurs etc!

Hope that makes some sort of sense!”

I get you.

Thank you

You wouldn't believe how much your post managed to reassure me!

I was convinced me & my friends were going to get to London only to find an understudy on in the winners place!

Same here - my mate has agreed to go with me but I said we have to wait and see what happens this week - not sure that Lee is going to walk this - especially if his song is 'I'm a Believer'!! Would rather risk waiting than fork out £100 for 2 tickets and find that one of the others is Joseph.
