Nice to see she gets a good chunk of time with the show, which I suppose was the reason for getting a completely different person anyway. I'm excited about this!

I absolutely did not add...’if it lasts that long’ in my head. No sirree, not I. (Love Sheen though!)

I'd be surprised if it didn't make it until the end of the run. It's a filler in a medium sized theatre, I imagine ticket sales will definitely get larger as tourists come in for the Summer so they will want to see how that pans out. I do think we will see some discounts sometimes soon though, and whilst they are promoting Day Seats on the website, they should really do Rush or Lottery too on TodayTix to get more theatre fans in.  |

What's going into The Savoy after then? I've heard several different rumours, so I would say nothing is concrete at the moment. |

This is touring after right? I might just wait for that.

Strange that the show itself hasn’t announced Caroline Sheen yet..

I wonder where Mean Girls will go if Groundhog Day takes the Savoy?

Groundhog Day is very likely.. As much as I'd love to see that as I missed it first time round, I can't see that selling out the Savoy for very long... |

I wonder where Mean Girls will go if Groundhog Day takes the Savoy? Mean Girls is the strongest rumour I've heard, but it keeps getting held back. |

Mean Girls wants (and is likely to get) the Adelphi, no one thinks Waitress will run very long.

I'm sure this has been said before before by other board members but it seems to make sense Mean Girls going in there with Funny Girl and Dreamgirls being Sonia Friedman productions too (and all having the word girl in the title!) and it does feel like a good fit for the theatre.
I had thought that maybe the Savoy was better for the classier, classic musicals that it's had recently with it being next door to the Savoy Hotel but then you can't get any tackier than Miss Love Island 2017 in 9 to 5 The Musical so Mean Girls should be fine!

It sounds like you haven’t seen Mean Girls. It is not tacky as you say. And it certainly would look a lot better in the Adelphi than cramped into the Savoy.

Would personally prefer Groundhog Day at the Adelphi, & Mean Girls at the Savoy but it’s not a big deal- i’m just happy I get the chance to see both!

No I haven't seen Mean Girls but I am eagerly waiting for it to transfer so that I can. I didn't say it was tacky, I said that 9 to 5 was tacky. What I was saying was that to me to me Mean Girls is a different category of musical altogether to the likes of Funny Girl, Dreamgirls and Gypsy. I've seen the movie countless times and obviously it's a teen-comedy so I assume most of the audiences will be teens and their families or people who were young adults when the film came out. And maybe it will look better in the Adelphi, I'm not even pretending to have a clue about stage sizes and sets! |

Mean Girls wants (and is likely to get) the Adelphi, no one thinks Waitress will run very long. Really!? I would have thought at least a couple of years with Waitress, it's going reasonably well on Broadway isn't it? |

I would have thought at least a couple of years with Waitress, it's going reasonably well on Broadway isn't it? It wouldn't have lasted nearly as long on Broadway if Sarah hadn't kept doing her return visits. Case and point, the first week of 2019 it just took $539,472.00. Sarah and Gavin returned/started, and last week it took $972,519.80. Without Sarah, this show would of closed a while ago sadly. Which is sad to say, because I love it! |

Huh. That's so interesting! From what I've seen of Sara, her acting isn't superduper (voice? magic. Acting? okay.).

Well this in some peoples opinion may be a "tacky" filler but it is selling well. Just checked random dates through Jan - March on the ATG website and only premium and package seats available at silly money in the stalls at least!
