Theatre Breaks… A good escape from the credit crunch?

September 10th, 2008 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

The subprime financial crisis may be affecting many business and some parts of the entertainment industry, but with in excess of 13 million people attending the theatre in 2007, it is a fairly reliable bet to say that the imminent demise of the west end as form of entertainment is slightly being too pessimistic. It has been argued that the increased stress found in most peoples lives actually go some way to arguing the point that a break away is just what the doctor ordered.
 
A night at the theatre certainly fulfills that need for escapism. Throughout this all there is one inescapable fact and that is that people are ever more increasingly looking for tickets at bargain prices and hence the growth in the availability of online Booking Agencies. Websites such as www.uktickets.co.uk are specialist sources in the provision of tickets at the best prices for these shows.
 

Dirty Dancing

One of the better illustrations of this is the film Dirty Dancing which considering that it is well over 20 years old since it was first released shows no sign of diminishing in popularity. The range of spin offs from the film “Dirty Dancing” was such that at one point it was hard to ignore the film.
 
Over the years the show has even outclassed the success of the movie with in one particular case, the show selling over 200,000 tickets in one particular stretch for one show in 2004 When Dirty Dancing opened at the Aldwych theate (Oct 2006), dirty dancing theatre tickets brought in the highest pre-sales in the London theatrical history, in fact, some of the weekend performances were selling out up to 6 months in advance.

dirty dancing tickets
Dirty Dancing has always been one of the most popular shows, and nothing has changed, despite being 20 years since it first appeared at the cinema.
 
The popularity of the film caused many spin offs… everything from American TV series to video games! – The musical remains one of the most popular of its kind to this day.
 
When Eleanor Bergstein wrote the play, she based the character of Baby on herself. The stage version of Dirty Dancing stays pretty true to the film version, but has the added energy that only a live show can bring,
 
The soundtrack to the Musical also helps to make the play a fast paced, exhilarating show, with a presence that is second to none.
 
As a statement to the popularity of this show, when it first opened in Sydney in 2004, the show sold over 200’000 tickets in six months!
 
The show can still be seen in London’s West End, so if you feel like seeing a real classic show, then check with uktickets.co.uk to get cheap dirty dancing tickets.

Dirty Dancing Still One of The Most Popular West End Shows

July 24th, 2008 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Press Releases

dirty dancing theatre tickets
 
The credit crunch may be affecting many business and some parts of the entertainment, but with over thirteen million people attending the theatre in 2007, it is pretty safe to say that the popularity of the west end is far from under threat.
 
Perhaps part of the reason is that increased stress in people’s working lives encourages them to look for ways to get away from it all. A night at the theatre certainly fulfils that need for escapism.
But one thing is for certain, in these tighter times people will be looking for better deals for their theatre tickets, and that is where online theatre ticket agents come into their own.
 
Websites like www.uktickets.co.uk specialise in getting their visitors the best tickets at the best prices for all of the most popular shows. So this is a great place to go for cheap dirty dancing tickets
 
One example of such a show is Dirty Dancing, which has never lost its appeal with theatre goers, even though it’s two decades since it first appeared on the big screens of the cinema.
The movie ‘Dirty Dancing’ was in fact so successful; that it triggered a number of spin offs, including an American TV show, a Musical tour, and even a computer game!
 
The theatre show has been even more successful than the movie though, with one particular show in 2004 selling well over two hundred thousand tickets in only 6 months.
 
When Dirty Dancing opened at the Aldwych theate (Oct 2006), it brought in the highest pre-sales in the London theatrical history, in fact, some of the weekend performances were selling out up to 6 months in advance.
 
Unlike some theatre shows, Dirty Dancing is actually pretty faithful to the movie, but it does have some extra parts slotted in especially for the stage, which enhances the performance.
