Performances cancelled until 17th August due to COVID. Was supposed to be there tonight. :-( Has this been announced? I've just seen this mentioned on British theatre.com |

Nothing on the official Joseph social media pages though! My friend just had her email. There were complaints last time it went on social media before emails went out so guess they are doing it the other way round this time. |

And tickets were swiftly removed from sale this morning on the official site. |

Oh bloomin’ eck! This is awful! How are shows supposed to operate like this? Let’s hope the government do end this ridiculous self isolation for contacts of positive cases on 16th Aug as they said. Hope whoever is positive is OK and that the rest of the company and staff remain well.

So, our Linzi show is the 18th matinee. 😥 Not sure its worth the risk of prebooking trains just yet… I’m sure that will go ahead cos isolation rules end on the 16th don’t they? Even though the bloody prime minister isn’t following his own rules, which would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating!!!! You could book and get travel insurance (checks terms and conditions) for a few quid so if it gets cancelled you should get your money back! Actually I might look into doing that for my bank hol weekend! You don’t think of it for weekends away in the U.K. but in these times it’s probably a good idea. Like I say, check T&Cs though cos some are excluding covid! |

Oh yeah, insurance. Oh I think we’ll go for it then. The only spanner might be if they announce Burke doing the first show back!

I don’t think it is the first show back - the 17th is on sale on LW Theatres site. I’ll be grumpy if they do change it, a friend and I are there for Linzi on the 18th too. |

If anyone wants to get an idea of Linzi's performance, there is a (unofficial so no link posted here) video up on YouTube, filmed from the front row of her leading one of the megamixes.

I hope the video isn't taken down as its very good quality and really gives you a good idea of Linzi's performance. Good bit of free publicity.
But is it true you are allowed to film the Megamix? If so I'm gutted as I would loved to have done that as I was at Linzi's first show.

If so I'm gutted as I would loved to have done that as I was at Linzi's first show. Yes, I was told the first time I went. An audience member near me did a fake groan when the usher held up the no phones sign and the usher said it’s ok, you can get phones out for the megaMix. I double checked the second time I went as I was in the second row and it was confirmed. |

I double checked the second time I went as I was in the second row and it was confirmed. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and asked an usher if I could film it and they said yes! I felt a little awkward as I was the only one around me doing so and it almost felt like I was breaking the rules but I got permission, people are probably just not aware that it is allowed! |

Got my official message through from ALW Theatres to say that tomorrow night's show is cancelled. They will be in touch in the next few days to determine the next steps.

This has now been announced to play in Birmingham (at the Hippodrome) from 4 to 16 April.
No indications of the cast yet, but JD does a lot of tours of this type so I presume they'd want him as the big name if he's available.

Indeed - I mentioned up thread it's odd that Brum and Southampton both selling tickets, but no official announcement from the producers of the tour? Still wondering if they may extend at The Palladium. Especially as they have had 10 days of cancelled shows. |

Casting wise I agree - they'll deffo want 'names' for bums on seats with this sort of thing. In fact, no idea what her TV schedule is, but wouldn't be at all surprised by the return of SS. |

Would be nice but really can't see that happening. She seems to just go from one TV drama to another so is always busy and, I think, if she does any MT it would be Cilla which had to be cancelled last year. |
