I'd really want to go, but i have class untill 3.30pm. So if I want to go to the epsom concert I have to find an excuse to skipp class and leave at noon. Hmmm, dilemma

Hope you can go! I'll be in London (from the US) for the whole week, but its spring break so I will only have to miss one day. I simply told my teachers that I'll be flying home from London, and they all said it was fine is I miss a day. Really hope you can make it

Are you over 16? If so, go for it - you can make up the lost class (unless you are the teacher

). If under 16 I think you should go to class - can't encourage you to slam school for a concert

Today I was in London for personal reasons, but having free time I went to the Epsom Playhouse to collect the 6 tickets I have bought on September

There is not really things there to let the public know that Libera will do a concert here in 2 months, no poster, no flyer, nothing.
The lady at the box office said that Libera have not gived them anything yet for the advertisement.

à contrario there is plenty of ads for performances from other groups, event for after the Libera concert date.

Its not totaly true that there is nothing from libera there, the Lullabye video is showed continusly above the box office

(but with no sound at all).

I went in the auditorium : very nice, and smaller that the official photo can let think. All the seats will be at a reasonabely short distance from the stage, even the back ones

The real problem is the height.... I tried several seats from differents rows... the hight is too low for the first two rows, and too high for the 8 or 10 last rows (saying my own perception

)

The Playhouse Staff asked me to not take photo of the stage, because of the decorated curtain of the current show they host, too bad... so I have not useful photo about the sight.

Thank you so much for all the updates!
The theatre looks very nice. It's to bad about the view from the first 2 rows, espically because I'm very short ( well, compared to everyone else going)... Will it make a difference how far out you are? I'm in seat AA 2, so I'm wondering if it will be harder to see, than from a middle seat.
I'm getting really excited! Too bad there isn't any advertising for the Libera concert, well besides the Lullabye videos. Hopefully they can get some posters from Libera soon

I will be in AA8

The Epsom Playhouse hosts a great number of shows dedicated to children, so I think they have some cushions to share, to seat on...

Yes, they did warn me when I booked that the first few rows offered poor viewing - I think I posted it at the time. I tried to buy two tickets one at the front and one at the centre a few rows back but they wouldn't let me hedge my bets

Yay, thanks f_d_L now I am getting more excited to go

My seat is J8 so in the last 8 rows - but we'll see. It does look not so far from the stage as I thought it might be

My seat will be in here, eagerly awaiting lots of news and reviews from those lucky enough to attend.

I wonder if their will be any changes to the concert setlist? Those who tire of 'When a Knight...' will have to remain tired, because it's Mini-James' favourite

Hi Patrick

How low is "too low". I have been to many theatres where the front rows are too low (or the stage too high!) to see the performers feet. It makes a big difference at a show like "Billy Elliot" where dancing is a key element, but would it really matter at a Libera concert?

Best Wishes
