CUK Theatre Club - just seen/going to see

Was Edward Scissorhands the Matthew Bourne production? If so, I saw that years ago and it was fantastic.

I've seen Present Laughter with Andrew Scott via NT Live - also brilliant.

If you can, go and see The Book Of Mormon. Very non-PC but amazing.

Had to visit Basel several times during my first ever contract in 2011. I remember how expensive everything was - the equivalent of a then £3 Tesco meal deal was about £14. How expensive was a theatre ticket?

The ticket was 175 francs - so about £160. That was 2nd row.

Got to say I've paid roughly that for shows in London - it's not cheap getting decent tickets to see a show when it first comes out.

I think Abba Voyage actually cost more than that.

You paid more than £160 for a ticket to Abba Voyage? Are they that expensive now or did you get the Dance Booth ticket?

I went a few months after opening and got tickets in the dancefloor area less than £60 and you can still get similar tickets at that kind of price if you book a few months in advance.

Yes 2 years ago - Auditorium seating tickets booked on first day of booking £175 each. They are £181 each looking at the website just now.

That weekend we also did the Lion King (children are annoying).

Yes it was the Matthew Bourne production.

I saw Book of Mormon a couple of years ago, very good, I agree.

How did this translate on to the stage? Still pretty good? I'm not a theater goer but always thought the films adapted for stage might be the way to go for me.

Edward Scissorhands was very good but you have to not see it through the eyes of the film. Very little to no dialogue, for a start. Parts I found hard to follow but, generally, Matthew Bourne productions are excellent with superb choreography.
