That's the fifth seat from the right. Did you use the interactive seating map? That's the linkbox with a little picture of the seats which says :"Of kies je eigen stoelen met een plattegrond ...." that you get to see after you picked a date.
According to this link it should be the end of the row?

Yes, you're right. I didn't see the little 'a' and looked at row 1.

Please, please write a review. It will be very interesting to know how much a non-dutch speaker enjoys the show !
Of course, as a Billy veteran, you will know what they are saying, but I'm curious how much the language barrier
interferes with the experience. My guess is...not at all !

Will do! Not sure I'm a 'veteran' :) Probably seen it half-a-dozen times over the years and watched the film more than a few times so yes, I guess I know most of the gags! (This is a minor show for me compared to Book of Mormon (15+) and Priscilla (30+)!!

Saw it in Copenhagen a few weeks ago and got the gist of what was going on there and I speak as much Danish as I do Dutch! It's the music/songs for me anyway ;)

OH WOW!

Just wow!

Am I allowed to say that I think this production is even better than the London one?!

Absolutely fantastic! Billy (the one with the hair!) was great - as was Michael - as was in fact ALL the cast and orchestra. What a brilliant theatre too.

OK I didn't understand a word that was being said but knew the gist of the story so not a big issue and the songs/music were great.

(I'm rubbish at writing reviews!)

The one with the hair? Which one do you mean? As far as I know they all have hair. :D

lol - I just looked him up - Tydo! He was very good :)

BTW although I don't speak any Dutch whatsoever I speak French and German and it's amazing how much I understood. Oh and the language is awesome - definitely going to try and learn some.
