Do we turn up to the theatre in the morning and get our tickets then or book online?
If we get tickets
What seats would be best?
How much would it be each?
How long before the show should we arrive?
Where is the new theatre it's at?
Do they sell programs/how much?
Those are all the questions I can think off at the moment. Thanks for all your help so far though.
It might be best to call the theatre for tickets. I personally ask the staff at the theatre if the seats that they are offering are any good (anything blocking view etc).
On weekdays (I believe the 28th August is a Friday) it is possible to get £10 tickets but these are usually situated at the very top in the last row or have something blocking part of your view of the stage. Once again I would just ask the staff on the phone where the seats are situated. Last time I paid £20 for my ticket and sat in the front row of the balcony so it just depends on what they have available.
You should arrive about 10-20 mins beforehand but it's entirely down to you. If you want to buy drinks/snacks/merchandise beforehand obviously give yourself a bit longer.
Although the website has maps etc on how to get to the new theatre it isn't very hard to find. Once you find Leicester Square you are pretty much there, walk towards the Trocodero/Mama Mia. There is a road on your right which is opposite the theatre for Mama Mia, walk up that road and you can't miss it.
They have a brochure and a program available. The brochure is more pics of the show and not a lot else and I think it costs £5 (says £7 on the website, hmm) and the program is obviously more about the cast and the peeps behind the show, I think that's usually a little bit cheaper than the brochure.
I hope that answers all your questions.
