The UK press reviews were so mediocre, From what i remember they were pretty much raves, weren't they? I love this show and think it's worth every penny of the £75 top price. It's not to everyone's taste, but i think it's a brilliantly crafted show. My 76 year old, strict catholic mother thought it was the funniest show she has seen. |

The top prices are fairly steep.
There are a few very cheap seats (£13 plus ATG's outrageous £3.65 booking fee) in the back of the stalls and circle (and more seats at that price in the upper circle, but I don't do the upper circle in the Palace). The £13 seats in the stalls and circle will not hang around for long, but as of ten minutes ago they still seem to be available for nearly all performances. I just bought one.
ATG's website is being particularly annoying today. It took three attempts to buy a ticket and check out; at the first two, when I tried to put a ticket in the basket I just got an endless spiral of death. So that was fun.

Interesting. Thanks!
Most of the press quotes used in advertising are from the American press. That kind of puts me off.
Just looked back and it received a smattering of 3s and 4s over here.

That reminds me of the current tour of Wicked stopping at Zurich beforehand. I'd say it's economically best to have the tour production there to save on building an extra set and rehearsing a whole new cast. And it's a very well-known show so I wouldn't be surprised if they threw in a couple more European dates such as Paris, Madrid, Zurich etc.

It may well be one of the American tours, with that cast.
I saw Pippin there a few years ago which was an extension of the US tour.

It seems silly to ship the American set over when a uk tour is starting in May, and Europe is only a few hours drive away!
But yes, who knows!!

Seeing as it’s the UK twitter account that’s been promoting the Amsterdam leg and also directing people to the new European twitter account, logic (at the mo!) would suggest its the UK cast.
There’s been nothing from the US account about either venue.

One of the best shows I've ever seen, totally OTT, extremely funny in a childish South Park way, seen it twice in London and booked for Manchester (£80 with booking fee...ouch) |

And it's a very well-known show so I wouldn't be surprised if they threw in a couple more European dates such as Paris, Madrid, Zurich etc. It won't do Madrid. Spain has a long history of mounting it's own Spanish-language productions, rather than receive English versions as part of an international tour. Incidentally, Stage Entertainment España have today released a casting call for a new production of an international musical that will premier in Madrid (I'm assuming to replace The Lion King or Anastasia next season). Based on the requirements of each role they're casting, looks like it will be Wicked. |

Just read it @ali, yeah, I'd say it's Wicked too. I wonder if Danna Paola will reprise her Elphaba (she did it in Mexico), now that she's popular here.

Probably Edinburgh Playhouse in 2020, but I think it’ll maybe do Glasgow and Aberdeen too. |

There’s nothing advertised at mancheater palace in august, so it could extend again, then just go straight to Amsterdam.

If it follows recent patterns, this might mean it will move from Zürich to Cologne then. The UK-Tour of Miss Saigon also played exclusively in Zürich and Cologne. And it seems, mercifully, that Stage Entertainment haven't got their mitts on this show to ruin it like they ruin most everything in Germany. So perhaps don't hold your breath for the Mormons to visit other cities in the UK... producers are realizing there's money to be made from these international tours.
