Thanks guys! I tend to go for the stalls for most shows anyway so I’ll probably book stalls for this visit as well

Sad to see there’s no children in the cast, but I guess it would be awkward getting children for the smaller venues and frequent stops.
I wonder how the opening number will work?

They'll probably cast locally, the roles for both boys are so small so they could easily rehearse them in a day or two. |

But like aingidh said it’s advertised as a UK Tour with no mention of Ireland so I doubt Dublin will be one of the venues that’s yet to be announced. |

I’m really hoping the tour will have a cast board. It’s such a simple thing to have, and with the amount of potential cast changes the show will have, e.g. children, angels, swings etc. I think it would be necessary.

I’m sure they will, if not follow @westendcovers on twitter and they will post the cast each day |

I only have one show booked so far (Edinburgh with Callum) but I might go see it in Sunderland to see Kayi as Lola.
The prices for this tour actually aren't as shocking as I was expecting. They are still a bit pricey but they definitely aren't Wicked or Lion King level.

I've booked three shows, two in Bristol and one in Northampton so far. Knowing me and knowing how much I love this show I'll probably end up booking a few more venues as well. Glasgow, Southampton, Oxford, Birmingham and Cardiff are all possibilities right now. Wasn't planning on going to Northampton but I want to try and see Callum so Northampton seemed like the better option. All the venues Callum's doing are well over two hours away from me so I thought I may as well go to the place the show is set, and given how early on in the run I'm going it's the best chance of guaranteeing Callum will be on. I agree aingidh the prices are actually quite good for this tour, yes they are still high but not shockingly so |

I was going to do Glasgow but I've just realised it's in the middle of my GCSE/N5 exams. Sunderland is at the start of the summer holidays so although it is further away it's more convenient personally for me.

Glasgow is one of the furthest venues from me but I was planning on doing a Glasgow/Edinburgh trip in May next year anyway, so seeing as the dates would work out I feel like I'll probably end up going.
Has Blackpool been announced as the last venue of the tour yet? Or is there still possibility of other venues being added after? I'd love to be at the final tour date but I don't want to book Blackpool if it's not the final date. I know there's still more venues to be announced I just don't know whether they'll be slotted into the gaps or placed after Blackpool

Ah, I'm undecided as to whether I should go see the tour in Northampton just to support my old hometown. The stingy part of me is thinking I can get cheaper tickets in London.

From looking at numerous Instgram posts/stories regarding swing maps and set builders, the Tour has the set like the current China Tour. NOT like the full London set  It’s a shame since it’s first (and maybe last) UK Tour |

Anyone know if this will extend? Will it go to London venues like Wimbledon or Woking later in the run?

What is this show about/like? Might see it in Liverpool next year but I don't really know much about it. Based on the film which starred Chiewetel Ejiofor and the true story of a factory that started making boots for drag queens when faced with closure. It's Jerry Mitchell so lots of fun and great costumes and choreography and the music is good (Cyndi Lauper). A fun night out |
