This show is completely booked out (ie all the seats have been sold) however cast members have reported that they still spot empty seats during performances. I myself saw 4 good seats in a row at curtain-call this afternoon. It seems that these are not patrons who have walked out but rather ones who have paid and just not turned up. The booking lady has a wait list for cancellations but some don't seem to bother cancelling their bookings. I suggest (and this is something I myself have often done successfully in the past) if you really want to see this show, just turn up and try for a 'stand-by'. After all, performers hate seeing unnecessarily empty seats.
