For anyone that’s seen it recently, has the show adapted at all now that Sharon Sexton is heavily pregnant? My knowledge of pregnancy is limited but I can’t imagine it’s recommended for her to fall off a couch each performance lol

Saw this last night in Canterbury, loved it as always and the sound quality was especially excellent. Managed to score amazing seats right in the middle of the second row of the circle, just by calling the box office a few weeks back. Must have been production seats I reckon, couldn't believe our luck! For anyone that’s seen it recently, has the show adapted at all now that Sharon Sexton is heavily pregnant? My knowledge of pregnancy is limited but I can’t imagine it’s recommended for her to fall off a couch each performance lol She still falls off the couch! Albeit slightly more feet first. And the *ahem costume change in Paradise still happens but much later in the number -- the background butlers (one of my fav bits) change at the usual time, but Sloane and Falco now wait til almost the end of the number. Sharon was looking and sounding fabulous, I wonder if she'll be back after spring break. I have to admit part of the reason we went yesterday is we thought it might have been her last night, but nothing was said so can only assume she's planning to carry on. |

She is very mobile on stage and is drop dead gorgeous and sexy to boot. I'm full of admiration for her as a positive female role model. As a mere man I'm astonished by her versatility and THAT voice, and wish her, Rob and baby every happiness. They MAKE this show. |

I’d booked multiple Wimbledon and Woking tickets as they were the easiest to get to, but having it back in London for 6 weeks or so will be fantastic! |

I was in for the matinee yesterday, and this really is in very good shape. It’s Sharon’s last week next before going on maternity leave, so it’ll be interesting to see who will cover that, whether it will be an existing cover or if they will bring someone new in.

I'll tell you what, those Paul Mathew drivers know their stuff. Because of you-know-what taking place you-know-where, the driver of the last truck to arrive had just a five minute window to drive in, reverse up to the scenery dock, uncouple and drive off.
There was a couple sitting in their deckchairs, beers at the ready, waiting for coverage to start on the big screen. They weren't moving for owt!

I've only ever had an issue with a handful. One was a right grumpy git until he fell off the back of the truck when the floor pack went over. He's been surprisingly cheerful ever since. And it's nice on the bigger gigs where you get a regular driver. Some venue load ins are crazy. Richmond is a dead end so they have to reverse a couple of hundred meters with cars parked either side. Dartford they've got only about a foot either side and no real way to see where the Dock door is. And I always enjoy Cambridge Arts as they just have to park and accept the bollocking and fine from the traffic warden. |

We once had a guy who flat out refused to do anything - "bad back", "not paid enough for this ****". I'm a bit rubbish with those straps, luckily others were more competent than me, but the guy was all kinds of rude and difficult. Oh, and for some reason he had a few props in his cab (?!) Not worked at the other two.. |

Why on earth did anyone think building a theatre with a scene dock door about a hundred yards down a passage too narrow for vehicular access was a good idea?! |

How do they manage it at The Palace Manchester? It’s on the junction of two very busy main roads and despite living round the corner for 17 years I’ve never seen trucks parked outside.

Judging by some footage from the end of today’s matinee, the announcement for 2023 is coming soon, along with some new footage as they sung IWDAFL and Dead Ringer as the encore and both were filmed.

From memory of the Wicked tour closing there a few years ago, things like props, costumes etc were wheeled out through stage door and FOH, then I imagine the loading/unloading takes place overnight. I think their dock is at the Whitworth Street end? |

The Peacock is owned by LSE who lease it to Sadlers Wells. I think it's still used for lectures during the day hence why it's restricted as a theatre.
