Theatre Group: John Penhallow Mob: 0419 230 787
There's not a lot of choice of Sunday Matinees. It only runs for 3 weeks from Sunday, March 24 to Sunday, April 14 at the Capitol Theatre. We can discard the first Sunday, and the second Sunday is Easter. So Sunday, 7th April at 1.00pm is my recommendation. My preferred best view seats for a reasonable price is $120 each, for a group of 8+. There are already 8 of us keen to see it. As I write, I can book seats in the centre of Row F, in the Dress Circle, if you want me to do that this week. Please let me know what you want and we can buy the tickets sooner rather than later and not settle for what’s left at 90 days out in January. John 0419 230 787 or post on the Facebook page.
