Bruce Wall Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks, Capybara. Went online to book a seat for the 18th matinee but there are SO many tickets currently available that I think - unless they really massively start to sell - I will wait and buy one from the lovely box office staff and save on the massive £3.65 ATG charge JUST for the privilege of booking on their site and printing out my own ticket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnstar Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm suddenly wishing I lived nearer Southampton so I could see Alison McWhinney. Having been very impressed by her Manon in January I would like to see her in another leading role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdove Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Absolutely Dawnstar she was wonderful as Manon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnstar Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I actually preferred her & Frola to Cojocaru & Caley, even though I know Cojocaru's Manon is very highly thought of. I managed to see Frola in Cinderlla at the RAH but was disapointed that McWhinney didn't get cast in the lead role in that run. Now she is but it's nearly 4 hours away from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdove Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm just over 2 hours away from Southampton so I hope to make it to one of her performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
