I turned up at 12.45 to check about queuing arrangements. I was told also the SSF tickets had been cancelled and I should have received an email. I almost burst into tears as I said 'but I've travelled from East Anglia that morning' and asked when the emails were sent. The lovely assistant must have took pity on me and asked me to come back at 2.45. I came back at requested time and was given a ticket for the Dress Circle.

I had considered going to IWM, but was so happy I stuck with MiD. A superb production - amazing set and just loved Hadfield and Dann.

Does anyone know whether SSF sent emails - I received only a reminder!!!

Thanks for letting us know. I also mentioned that we had come a long way and it had cost us quite a bit to get to London. Had he said "come back later", I would have as we were in the area.
Wonder if there are any more who were allowed in? Please keep us updated. Also let us know if you received the cancellation email.

Sorry to hear that kalsha you had this experience. If Mee was told to come back at 2.45 to try again and my sister gets it after the show starts, I wonder if the ladies who turned after her were also SFF ticket holder and read this forum can reply. Then it might have been the case the tickets were canceled and did not get any notification, but as Grant said they might have taken us after the theatre management decided to give them away.

My thoughts The other thing to note is normaly SFF will send an email after the show is over to get reviews in this case it did not, so I wonder the forgot to inform you guys the that the SFF show was cancelled but remembered not to send the review email.

If you're referring to the post on Cinema codes, I think you've made it hard to find how to claim the tickets. It might be easier if you posted an actual link.

If anyone is looking for Spamalot tickets for today's 2.30 performance at Manchester Opera House, I've just cancelled 3 tickets.

Brecon_Beacons

Went to see Spamalot at the Opera House Manchester – it’s a touring production, on at Manchester until Saturday, and then moving to Richmond, Birmingham, Oxford, York, Cardiff,Woking, Edinburgh, Stoke, Brighton, Aylesbury, Bromley, Liverpool, Sunderland, Glasgow, London, milton Keynes and Bradford. The tour ends at Torquay in July.
Everyone of a certain age will remember the Pythons with affection, as a rare glimpse of anarchic comedy in the stodgy TV schedules of the 1970s. This production is based around the 1975 film, King Arthur and the Holy Grail – with additions of some of the most famous Python catchphrases and sketches.
How times change! What was anarchic then, has mellowed into very innocent, and dare I say old-fashioned, humour.
It’s fitting that the lead actors depart the stage after taking their bow with the hop-and-skip, hands-behind-head dance made famous by Morecambe and Wise. This is family entertainment now, with no offence in it anywhere.
However, I’m glad to say that familiarity with the material has not bred contempt. The audience laughed throughout – and there were enough ad-libs and references to more topical subjects, to keep listeners on their toes. In the Manchester production, the addition of Professor Brian Cox as ‘God’ was an inspired touch (and very fetching he looked, in lipstick and a blonde wig!).
Joe Pasquale plays King Arthur – and what he lacks in regal mien, he more than makes up for with the standup comedian’s ability to draw the audience into his own weird world, and ad-lib to great effect (at one point, the cast were reduced to silent, shaking laughter as he extemporised on a fictitious scene involving Shirley Bassey and, ahem, a ‘hairy bison’. But that was as near the knuckle as it got).
Todd Carty was unrecognisable from his Eastenders/Grange Hill days as Patsy, King Arthur’s servant, but gives a strong performance including very adequate singing and dancing. The rest of the cast performed with good comic timing and enthusiasm, and Sarah Earnshaw displayed an impressive vocal range as the Lady in the Lake.
Take the children! They won’t rock with nostalgic laughter over the catchphrases, as you do, but they will still enjoy the slapstick, with not a single swear word to be heard (and how many comedians can say that, now?).
A whole new generation can learn the fun of the Taunting Frenchmen (“ay fart in your generale direction”), the Knights who say Ni, and aping the sound of horse’s hooves with a pair of coconut shells.
