I am trying to keep calm but this is really exciting news. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Definitely keeping my fingers crossed! Gosh, he would be the perfect Hamlet... would give him the opportunity to tear up here and there...

If that's going to happen, I'll definitely try to get tickets and fly over- fellow Germans, let me know if you do too. We might just charter a plane... ;D

Me, for example.

Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

...and I'm sure there'll be even more than just the four of us.
Oh, that would almost be too good to be true...!

I would love to come along, depending on when it will be (if it will be at all, that is). I'll be quite busy around the end of April.

If it really happens it will be in the autumn. So there is hope for you.

Would love this to happen, even if there's no way I can go over to see it XD

Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

I'm sure we'd have to be pretty fast for tickets, this will probably be sold out in about 30 minutes, don't you think?

Count me in, too! Are we enough people for chartering a plane yet?

But like SolarSystem said, it'll probably difficult to get tickets at all, let alone all of us getting them for the same performance... But one can always hope ;)

If we were 16 to 24 people I could very much recommend this airline:
