I wonder if they'll manage to get Rachel Tucker on board again.

I think someone might have scheduled that tweet a day early. That website says tickets on sale 30th Oct, but Northern Stage says tickets don't go on sale until 9th Nov and most of the 'Book Tickets' links don't work or redirect to an error page! I'd be surprised if some of the other dates went on sale today too. Liverpool Playhouse won't go on sale until some time in November when they announce the Spring season, while The Lowry put tickets for new shows on advance sale for members every Thursday and general sale 24 hours later. |

Add me to the fanclub. I also love the cast recording and would love to see this in the West End. I agree that it's a story that would probably resonate better with a British audience - "serious" stuff hasn't done well on Broadway for a long time. Same with "Allegiance" which was flawed but didn't deserve to do as badly as it did. Not that I blame New York audiences - considering the cost of Broadway tickets I'd also prefer big fluffy bright entertainment there. I think Come From Away is rather serious!!! |

Yea, well, I posted that a long time before Come From Away opened  And while I'm glad that it's doing so well, I still think that my opinion in general stands. |

Great news.
Must be a good reason it isn't sailing down the Thames?
I agree this is what they should've done in the first place, build the word of mouth, this would've been a hit in the West End then done Broadway.

If you book for the Tuesday night at Leeds Grand, for 'just' £100 you can attend a drinks reception with Sting himself!

Booked for Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff. It'll be great to see a big Northern Stage production in Cardiff. With Tiger Bay here in a couple of weeks, another big musical set in our docks past, there seems to be a new trend!

Tickets just gone on sale for Newcastle, first venue of the tour. Managed to get opening night for a very reasonable £23 but there are lots of ten pound tickets left for other nights.

I could have seen this in Leeds, York or Nottingham. I decided on the latter, mainly due to cost. Just £10.50 for a seat on the front row at the Friday matinee. I don't think I've ever been to a matinee on a Friday before!

I chose Newcastle as top price student tickets are £10 compared to £49 when it gets to Leeds, Its probably a false economy as I need to travel to Newcastle but at least its a day out!

Anymore news on casting? Would love to see Rachel Tucker, and Sally-Ann Triplett for that matter!

I've booked some £10 tickets in Newcastle. Seem to be side view rather than restricted so let's see!

The Live Theatre in Newcastle is tiny and they don't seem to be selling all rows so those ten pound tickets look like a bargain. I've bought three nights so far but if Rachel Tucker is involved I could be tempted to go every night.
The fact that she hasn't said she isn't doing it gives me hope!

Its playing at northern stage, not live theatre. |

Sorry, it's been one of those days.
I was actually at both the Live Theatre and the Northern Stage today. Both great venues.

It depends on when in the run you have booked (and the offer being repeated) but last year Virgin East Coast had a January sale for travel between 30 January and 31 March, with booking from 9 to 13 January 2017. |

Megabus from Leeds to Newcastle is very cheap and just takes a couple of hours.

I asked Rachel today if she was doing this and she said she had not been asked.
My heart died a bit inside.

Well they've cast Jimmy "crocodile shows" Nail already so they really need to get their priorities right.
