^ Purely based on Rebecca Lock’s response to a question on her Instagram story yesterday, so I suppose in short, it’s not necessarily guaranteed and depends on the performer  |

I think there’s no official signing after matinees, but (as evidenced) cast may be happy to stop and sign on their way out to go and get food etc.

Does anyone think Lucie Jones could be a possible candidate for Heather C. when this transfers? Rebecca Lock put a little video on her instagram story wishing Lucie and Liam Doyle a good closing night on the Legally Blonde tour and said “cummon back to London” and it got me thinking.

Watched this tonight and absolutely loved it! Charlotte wasn’t on but everyone else in the cast was fantastic, especially the Heathers. I really liked Carrie as Veronica too, her voice is great and she really owns the stage.
Highlights of the show for me were definitely ‘Meant to Be Yours’ and ‘Kintergarden Boyfriend’ I really enjoyed ‘Never Shut Up Again’ too, it’s a great addition to the show and I loved that quick change!
I’ll be interested to see this when it transfers, definitely recommend.

I just saw it and it left me quite underwhelmed I have to say. I don’t really get the hype. Vocally the cast are great, no doubt about that, but overall it didn’t really do anything for me. Nice to have seen it but glad I went for the cheap £15 seat and will not return/attempt to see it again.

They're auditioning for Ensemble/JD understudy & Big Bud Dean/Ram's Dad/Coach Ripper for the West End transfer

So they already have cast Heather Chandler for the west end run or Jodie Steele is missing the start of Rock Of Ages (Which seems unlikely but you never know) My friend asked Jodie if she was doing the transfer the other night and she was quite evasive with her answer. She said “we’ll see” which considering that person had followed her for a while and they knew each other seemed unnecessarily vague. So possibly she’s still trying to angle not doing the start of the RoA tour and that’s why she’s not confirmed either way? |

Well tonight I was in seat A9, and there was only a couple of other guys on the front row so I thought there was a good chance I’d end up being ‘Steve’ based on comments on here. Sure enough, I was made to stand up and had my head stroked. I am thankful to you all for preparing me however, as I was armed with a response: “Honey you are barking up the wrooooong tree”.
Overall I really enjoyed it! It’s not perfect by any means, and there are a few features (sets/costumes) that had the patented Kenwright cheapness to them (disappointing considering the amount they’re charging for tickets)
The performances were outstanding from all. Seventeen and Kindergarten Boyfriend especially.
I attended the workshop last year, and was good to see they’d taken a lot of the feedback onboard. Some parts were better in my imagination than the actually turned out to be, one example being when Martha’s final appearance, when the creator described her coming on in an electric wheelchair it sounded hilarious, but the reality fell very flat. They could have done with a proper wheelchair and at least a bandage on her head or something.
I won’t be rushing back, but glad I saw it.

As far as I am aware Jodie Steele will be continuing in the role of Heather C, at least for the initial few weeks of the west end transfer.

So, this was fun.
It's a bit better than I expected, and certainly a much better show (and score) than Mean Girls, which I just saw last month.
CHF is pretty great. Acting and singing spot on, and owned the show. Entire cast is very good, and pretty much nailed an American accent, which I find sometimes inconsistent in London. The second act was a bit too long for my taste, but overall a fun night out. Good to see so many young people at the theatre. I still don't like The Other Palace, there's just something about that building that feels sterile and unwelcoming.

Spotlight has casting notices for principal & understudy Heather Duke Oh! Does that mean that T’Shan is leaving when it transfers? I was hoping she would stay on. |

I thought that T'Shan was EASILY the weakest of the Heathers (and often looked awkward on stage) so I wonder if the producers are replacing her for the transfer or if she has other commitments? |

The tickets were priced incorrectly. I bought one as my friend who is over from the States for a month really wants to see it and I just had an email saying it should have been £75 and the £20 is being refunded.

Saw the matinee today of this, full house from the looks of it, mostly teenage girls which wasn't a surprise having read previous posts here. They seemed to enjoy it a lot more than I did, screaming and clapping after every song (but mostly well behaved in between). That's not to say that I didn't enjoy it, a few good songs, good performances and made me chuckle a few times but, as others have said, tonally all over the place, I've never seen the film so have no idea how it compares. Didn't have the best seat, in A25, had quite a lot of looking at the back of people's heads, and that may have hampered my enjoyment a tad, but was afforded a very good view of the disrobed gents, I didn't know where to look  Struggled to hear words some times, a lot in group numbers, and also noticeably from T'Shan, not sure if that was acoustics where I was sat, mic levels or vocal register, or a mix of all three. So, glad I've seen it but not one I'm fussed about catching again. |

I notice that PTM says in an interview they will be rewriting and restructuring the whole of act two for the transfer. Also the set will be altered.

I bought one as my friend who is over from the States for a month really wants to see it and I just had an email saying it should have been £75 and the £20 is being refunded. You would easily win that one if you chose to contest it. There have been seats priced at less than £20 (and probably closer to the stage), so this comes well within expected bounds, particularly when dynamic pricing is considered. Especially if you/your friend had already forked out for travel and/or hotels, booked time off work etc. Social media or one of the consumer rights columns in the newspapers would be your friend here. |

I think you may have misunderstood my post? I paid £95 for a ticket which should have been £75 so they’re refunding me the £20 difference. I still have a ticket. |
