Well I hope he doesn't fanny around with it too much or there will be too many broken hearts everywhere.

Doesn't this tour every few years or so? Isn't it becoming a bit of a predictable dinosaur like a few other productions I could name?

I’m sure this is only the third UK tour and it opened in the West End around 2009 so it’s hardly a dinosaur yet!

Dashed my hopes of Nikki Bentley making a triumphant return as Elphaba but exciting nonetheless. I suppose I'll be seeing this a few time now, anything to see Nikki in a show 😍

Anyone seen the opening night in Dartford? Seen pictures of the new costumes and that’s about it. Fingers crossed the bus is decent!! Not seeing it until Bristol May 2020!

That reviewer seemed a bit miffed about not getting press comp tickets.

Listening to that review it sounds pretty good. I do love this show and looking forward to it.
Anyone have any info about it yet.
Is the bus good ?
Do the Divas still fly ?
What are sets like ?

The bus is wheeled on to the stage in pieces and is a pale shadow of the West End one. No flying and a basic set. The bus Priscilla is hardly on stage at all and barely mentioned.
Cast and costumes are great though and the show is very funny. Even more of a jukebox musical than I recall from previous productions, with no more than a few minutes between musical numbers, including several that are of no relevance to the story. They just happen, to fit in another song and dance routine.
Pure escapist entertainment. Standing ovation tonight at Dartford. 8/10 from me.

Does anyone really still give a flying Four X about the West End bus? It’s a decade ago. I never saw it and I’m sure it was all kinds of fabulous but 99% of the people booking tickets for this tour really really don’t care about @ bus that was seen in a London production ten years ago.

I agree, Burly. I actually dislike that bus intensely as it malfunctioned and caused the show to be cancelled after 30 minutes when we first saw Priscilla in the West End. That was back when we had to arrange childminding to go to the theatre so it was extremely annoying at the time. The show is fabulous, the bus isn't, but I doubt if that will bother many people. |

I saw a fantastic amateur production at my local town hall couple years back and loved it more than the recent tours they still had the flying divas and a decent Priscilla bus very impressive... production values were better than the Jason /Duncan tour .... if a local amateur company can do it in a small town ...... 👍

Thanks for the reply. That's sounds kind of disappointing about the Divas and bus.
And yes the bus does make the show. The last UK tour had it kind of right almost. I understand they cannot have a bus like the London one on tour but its like seeing the Phantom and not having the boat scene.
