Tickets range from £40-£220 apparently. Ouch To be honest that's kind of what I was expecting. Bear in mind top price will be premium tickets which is no more than many current west end shows. I would guess that standard stalls will be about £80 to £100 which is what I am budgeting for. |

Is he likely to be going to the extent of photoshopping artwork to make it look official? YES Although...I did see an ATG page. It had no listing or any information on it but did have a Sunday in the Park with George URL. The one I (and several other people) saw had full details of the show with casting and such |

I'd like to know how this man became of this news. If this is a case of accidentally coming across that page or being tipped off about it by someone who found it, it's interesting to then make out you are 'exclusively announcing' a show. I think that's exactly the case. And it's not surprising at all.  |

I saw the ATG page too. But I'm saying..majorly sketchy. Why? Because he makes things up all the time. Dolly with Bernadette...Jagged Little Pill..Tyrone Huntley as Evan Hansen. |

It had no listing or any information on it but did have a Sunday in the Park with George URL. The url on the ATG website still works, it's just the content that has changed. That means ATG are hosting a functioning page at www.atgtickets.com/shows/sunday-in-the-park-with-george/savoy-theatre/ |

I don't put the posters past him. He's a serial liar. The ATG website is the only thing that stops me from completely dismissing this. l just don't trust anything that comes from him.

Looks pretty authentic to me. Listen guys - I saw it too. If this was coming from another source..I would have said fine.

The Fiddler on the Roof transfer page on ATG was up before any official announcement was made. Seems someone got wind of how to find the new pages.

If this is on, that serial liar just made a name for themselves.

Apart from anything else, the Savoy haven't announced the end of 9 to 5 yet, have they? So for that reason alone it's premature to have publicity leak..

It's happening, I know we're all a sensibly sceptical bunch, but it's happening. Usually once a year there's 1 show I spend more than about £20 on, and it looks like in 2020 it'll be Sunday.
I'm very excited, this is one of my favourite musicals. Like everyone says, Act 2 is a bit odd, but the final 3-song-section along with the uber-famous Finishing The Hat in Act 1 is some of Sondheim's most beautiful work. I could write pages about this, but suffice it to say I'm excited.
I cannot wait.

Carl Woodward is a notorious bullsh*tter (I was told he was even called out specifically at a recent SOLT meeting as someone PR depts should avoid) but the show is happening - either he stumbled on the page somehow in advance of an announcement or someone in the know tipped him off.

No one, not even Carl, has the time or the energy of going to the extent of making a fake ATG page - it’s authentic, it’s happening, someone tipped him off, and Baz will break the news on Thursday.
And selladoor are still cross with him because he broke the Falsettos news 3 months before anyone else did. He gets info he shares. Not condoning his behaviour sometimes but take what he says as true almost as much as Baz 🤷🏻♂️

im sure he's a nice guy but he comes across as someone who is desperate to be somebody. But his methods will stop that from happening.
