    Can't recommend any sites/companies for Dirty Dancing, but has she seen Mamma Mia? We went to see it in Feb, & it was absolutely brilliant.

    I had wanted to see it for ages, & OH surprised me on Xmas Day with tickets. Best present ever!
    :D I am in the future you know...
    ...9 hours ahead to be exact !:D

    You can do a little about it, the tickets prices are pretty fixed, matinee's being cheaper, but you can order via site combo's like lastminute and quidco that'll get you 3% off, and if you use a reward card egg/amazon etc you get further discount/reward that way.

    The other way to save a few pennies is on booking fees, different sites charge different fees and some will charge you extra for paying my card.
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.

    It's totally sold out for months but there are supposed to be some matinees available, best option is to phone ticket office for returns or try agencies like Keith Prowse who might have a package option... it's the fastest-selling West End show in history, apparently.

    check out here:
    http://www.theatremonkey.com/ALDWYCHbooking.htm#Online%20booking

    there are a few options for booking - did a quick check on the theatremonkey ticket link & they have some tickets for July. The site also gives go advice on which seats to choose

    Top table (site for booking restaurants) also has some tickets & these can be combined with a Meal Deal
