I was awake before 5am(!), left the house at 6:10am and arrived to the queue at 7:20am. I was 91st in the queue! The store opened at 8am and I was served at 9:20am. All worth it though because I got everything I really wanted: Griff, Melanie C, Sugababes and Taylor Swift!

While in the queue and ticking off what I wanted on the sheet that was handed out, I did put a tick next to the Wicked soundtrack, just in case... but knowing it was highly unlikely that there'd be any left by the time it was my turn, and that was indeed the case. It seemed to me like it sold out within the first 30 customers (and this store had 15 copies to sell - more than quite a lot of other stores managed to obtain of it).

It was a fun experience overall though despite the early start. I was with @Yobnedor so it was great to meet up with him and be in the queue with a friend.

Same again next year? ;)

I can’t decide whether the Spotify numbers in the UK are a success or not. What is she looking to open with this week? Any confirmed numbers yet?

I just want to know if it’s the same cast. I probably won’t see it again if they’ve switched it up…

 

Yes, it was THAT perfectly cast.

I’m only gonna see it again if it’s the same cast… but they’re keeping tight lipped on that at the moment!

I went for Step One in the end since Experienced is the only track I dislike on it, I love all the others (yes even Too weak to resist)

 

This!

(Hi by the way!)

H has just announced that the show is going nationwide and tickets are on sale tomorrow!

Fuming that I didn’t get the vinyl and it’s sold out.

I honestly hate this forum sometimes. People saying they know better than what the media have reported? Give your heads a wobble. Somebody has died.
