I really wish performers would just be allowed to throw a show or something at those who are on their phones. It would stop in a heartbeat! I'm sure Patti and that cocktail glass of hers has been tempted several times.

I'm sure Patti and that cocktail glass of hers has been tempted several times. OR they could have a sniper up in the highest box with a tranquilizer gun. They could take out anyone talking/eating/texting and render them unconscious so that they wouldn't bother anyone either in the audience or on stage for the rest of the performance. Just chuck them out at the end and dump them on the street! 😂

Is it time to ask when the cast recording is out again? And if it’s coming back or touring? Not seen such ?’s today.

They have heavily hinted at plans to tour. I don't think they could manage another West End run anytime soon. If you look at the Thursday matinees they are embarrassing. Prices would need to be lowered too I think. I haven't personally seen it, but I know others who have seen it and have thought that for the quality of the production the prices were far too high.

I don't quite know how they did it (obviously papering, TKTS and TodayTix) but the Thursday matinee I attended last week was surprisingly full. The stalls were filled, and whilst I couldn't see how full the upper levels were, they were at least all open and reasonably populated. Just to defend the show.
P.S. I thought it was still really superb and don't really understand all the negativity thats sprung up since it transferred

I had been keeping an eye out on this Thursdays matinee for some time and it had sold surprisingly well in advance. Certainly business has picked up in the final few weeks.
TKTS has been consistently £38 so not as cheap as some other shows. Hopefully it’s done well enough to warrant a return/tour.

When I went it was a Thursday matinee and it looked like a full house. Then of course it was Oct 31st and a school break (or whatever it's called; half term?).

I was at the matinee last Thursday. Stalls were full, and it was a very enthusiastic audience as usual.

I’ll just leave this here, because I think calling people enjoying themselves and finding something to belong to ‘nauseating’, is far worse.

And Ryan, it's "Corn Nuts" because {Spoiler - click to view} they're the last words Heather Chandler says (while she's actually alive) both in the film and the show. (She returns as a ghost in the show, and in a dream sequence in the film)

I don't really see the connection between (as a fan of the show) not wanting to call myself a "corn nut" and being a fat-shaming bully who ends up getting assaulted in a slightly hard-to-believe tale. Be assured that as someone who was bullied for being fat, and for being gay, and a few other things it's not something I really stand for, and if anyone somehow was perturbed or offended by me making fun of a dodgy collective noun for fans of the show you have my apologies.

Who on earth is throwing/sliding trays of cupcakes onto the stage at the end of the show!!!? (See CHFs latest tweet) Why not leave at stage door? I don’t understand what goes through people’s heads sometimes! 🤦🏼♀️

Cupcakes on stage?! If I had known, I’d be at every performance just for the free cakes if no one else wants them. I really hate seeing good food go to waste.

Hear that this will be heading out on tour. If true, this will need a lot of stunt casting to succeed.

It will probably be Carrie as the same role and the 3 heathers made up of someone from Hollyoaks, an Atomic Kitten and someone who finished 9th in I'll Do Anything.

Carrie has already said she's got nothing booked up for next year so I have no doubt she would do a tour. Also im sure they're going to announce the cast recording release on the last night.

I don’t work in advertising or marketing (so what do I know?) but surely it makes sense to have it for sale at the merchandise stand while the show is running?
You have a captive audience in the house and to release it after the seems like a missed opportunity.
It was the same for the cast recording of The Light Princess at The National.
