Anyone can let me know who may be off when I see the show on the 27/7 please?? If you're seeing it on the 27/7 (27th of July!) then everyone will be off including Front Of House staff because it will have closed 😂😂 |

Anyone know if the CD will be released before the run ends? Someone asked Debbie Chazen on Twitter if there was a release date for it. She replied "Not sure yet. Soon as possible we hope". |

Just came across this tweet
Now I personally came away really enjoying this show but I cannot see it appealing to an American audience. Is this the first we've heard of this?

What exactly would be the point of taking this to America? It's an incredibly British show and the USA have already responded negatively to a Gary Barlow score. It's not even managed to be successful here.

Would seem an odd choice. Its a touring British show at best

Just a heads up that TodayTix have seats for the front of the stalls for £22.50 - I got a seat for row B tonight for that price 🙈 Seems they're using the £35 closing offer on their tickets and then reducing them further

I sat it on Saturday afternoon with the £35 offer (row D in the stalls) and I loved it. It may have helped that I came "fresh" to it - I only watched the movie as a primer a few weeks ago because I didn't know it at all. But I enjoyed the story a lot and the atmosphere in the theatre (about 90% females I'd say) was great. Also really liked the score. And I admit, after seeing the utterly perfect gorgeous young ladies in On the Town on the previous night, it WAS nice for a regular woman like me to see other regular women of all shapes and sizes on stage. I hope this will do well on tour.

Saw this Friday night and was gutted that both leads were off. Jenny Gayner took over from Joanna Riding and was not good. Her vocals were poor and she is far too young for the part one of which of the lines is about being friends for 40 years. Was really disappointed about it as had been looking forward to it. I have to say was disappointed in it generally too with low production values. Saw Bat out of Hell and 42nd st too which did not disappoint.

Sorry for the double post, I don't know how to double quote on my phone. Joanna has been pretty sick, she came back for the Sat matinee then couldn't make it on for the evening, not sure about Claire but I think she was on holiday. I agree about the age thing though, especially when Jenny is on with Shirley, the age difference is even more noticeable and distracting. |

Does anyone know when Joanna and Claire will be back? I think Joanna has been off more or less for the past two weeks, so she must be feeling pretty bad. If Claire has taken holiday, I imagine she'll be back tomorrow, unless, of course, she is also unwell. |

I last went three weeks ago on the Saturday, and she was off (for both performances I believe). My memory failed me in thinking it was two weeks ago. That said, she has been off quite a bit since. I think when I went it was the start of a weeks holiday, so it would make sense to say she has most likely, sadly, been off since Wednesday.
