Almost certainly - its a touring set that they put into the West End so I'd expect this to be looking to head back on the road end of 2023/early 2024 I have it good authority (friend knows someone at a touring theatre) that there’s a tour planned once it closes Falls off seat in shock 🤣 |

Happy 90th birthday to Petula Clark! No show tonight, but perhaps if she’s performing tomorrow they might bring a cake on for her at the end?

Premium ticket prices have gone crazy for the last month's shows. And the final show is now almost sold out (only 16 tickets left at 225 pounds each--they cost 175 pounds two weeks ago!)

I saw the Sunday matinee this weekend in a prime stalls seat in row H (thanks to TKTS). Though the show's in its final weeks, from the energy and the sparkle on stage you really cannot tell. Enjoyed Zizi Strallen in the role much more than on my last visit (pre-COVID!).
A really excellent production with a huge amount of magic and heart. 5/5.

Just a had listen now. I'd agree alece10 , a really interesting insight into how Charlie prepares for his role as Bert. |

A wonderful performance last night. The show is in great shape (perhaps even better than it was three years ago when I last saw it). Petula Clark was sooooo good! Zizi and Charlie were amazing. Charlie Anson was also very good and so was Francesa Lara Gordon as Mrs. Banks. It was the first time I'd seen Liz Robertson and I enjoyed her performance a lot. I also loved the fact that they were dancing in a circle while the curtain was going down at the end (I wonder, was this because it was New Year's Eve? It brought to my mind scenes from the original P.L. Travers books--there's even a chapter about New Year's Eve!)
Will be back for the last show next Sunday.
Do go and see it if you haven't seen it so far!

I went on Wednesday for a final visit. The show was as brilliant as ever. The leads are just perfect, but that goes for the whole cast really. Even Petula was decent. Still can’t fathom how kids so young can be so bloody talented!

I was expecting speeches too. I noted lots of discussions with the MD at the end of the interval, like something had to change. Might have been something else but who knows.
Today’s performance Was a great send off!

Today’s performance Was a great send off! I agree, it was superb. Mary's line: "It's time isn't it Bert?" was a choker and they did well to hold it together. Aside from a fantastic closing performance, when so much emphasis is placed on audience phone etiquette, it was a shame that one of the brass section chose to have their phone propped up with the football on. It was very distracting to anybody in the slips/loge/box seats and shows a degree of contempt towards the paying punters. |

I was there. What a wonderful show this is. It really is fantastic and will be a huge miss to London. I have lost count how many times I have watched it but it still brings so much joy.
Fantastic audience. I was in the grand circle and hadn't realised I was sat right near where she goes on her "journey". Still one of the most amazing sights in theatre.
Cannot say enough good things about this show.

Cannot say enough good things about this show. I filmed the final flight (with prior permission from the theatre) from the opposite box if you'd like it. |
