I guess it's just a filler extension until something comes in next year. I can't imagine there won't be something more attractive to ATG than 9 to 5 wanting the theatre next year. I'd even imagine something is a done deal. I would have thought the question is will it be Mean Girls or Pretty Woman? Who knows, but one of those shows would be the obvious choice for that theatre. |

I'd even imagine something is a done deal. A full theatre is a full theatre. 9-5 has been very busy and this results in maximum bar takings etc. As long as business keeps up it will continue. |

Maybe, but will it still be by April? With a tour on the go too. I expect something else to be going in after April 2020. |

I agree it probably won't go past April, in which case a run of a year and two months is amazing considering it wasn't particularly expected to sell as well as it has. I suspect Bonnie and Natalie will stay, as for the others I'm not sure. |

Brian Conley is booked to do his lucrative panto stint (in Plymouth) again from mid Dec to mid Jan '20. Leading WE roles don't come up that often (and no TV work) so he may just take a break from the show over Christmas and return mid Jan?

I did hear a rumour that a certain Ms Sheen may be returning to the West End later this year, as a previously injury-stricken performer might take the show on tour...

I know some of us love a cheeky Sunday matinee, and I've just looked at their Christmas schedule, December 29th there is a matinee for anyone in London.  |

Good for 9 to 5, it was an enjoyable night at the theatre and has done really well. Makes total sense to extend! 🙌

Had some fun seeing the matinee on Saturday with my mum visiting for the weekend. We saw Emilia in the eve and it would probably have worked better to have seen them the other way round as we were thoroughly hammered by the time Emilia started...
Fairly poor performance from Louise Redknapp. Amber Davies was ok in my opinion but her delivery of ‘Get Out and Stay Out’ wasn’t too my taste although certainly spirited! Natalie McQueen gave the best performance in my opinion and although the accent was comical it worked to that effect.
Bonnie Langford still has it and really commands the stage (unsurprisingly) and steals the show whenever she’s on.
Brian Conley seemed to have a lot of fans in. I’m not really one but he was fine in the role.
I thought this cast and production weren’t as strong as the UK tour a few years back but it’s still a fun afternoon out.
We got great stalls rush seats...if I’d payed more I’d have felt really ripped off!
It all felt a bit Kenwright tour quality and I’m surprised Dolly actually produced it. Wait. I’m not. She’ll be making a fortune!

Glad she's returning, I'll likely catch it when she's back!

Really enjoyed this last night,lots of fun. Enjoyed all 3 leads but thought Bonnie Langford stole the show.
Got the ATG Theatre Card offer for £75 which included a mini bottle of Moet, chocolates and dress circle box seats. They are slightly restricted to stage left but we didn't miss anything significant. We also had a private seating area and bathroom outside the box which was great as I hate queueing!

Just seen Amber and Louise will be in this in Manchester (and, I assume, the whole tour?)
PS - still annoyed they haven't done a cast recording! This wouldn't happen on Broadway lol.

So looks like there will be some new casting for London....
Just seen the full announcement. Amber is going everywhere. Louise joins her in six cities. Caroline Sheen just Cardiff (as she's Welsh apparently) and Brian Conley just Milton Keynes (!).

Email re Sunderland dates just mentioned Louise. Does this mean we will also get Caroline? Fingers crossed, although she certainly deserves a mention in a casting email if that is the case!

Not complicated at all then. I know right. It's worse than Chicago lol. I do hope they'll be concentrating when printing the programmes for each venue. |

Hats off to amber though. We gave her a bit of stick when she was first cast but she has done a good job in the west end and so far is the only person to play every venue of the tour.

So is Amber leaving in August at the end of the original booking period for the tour? Or does it start after Jan, where it's currently scheduled to end?
Think I'm going to try catch it in July as I'm desperate to see Caroline!
