Do we tho l there’s a chance this well get released on Blu Ray? Unsure specifically which rumours the person asking was referring to, but at least this confirms there will be a DVD release in the future, and in this day and age, Blu Ray is quite likely. |

It's just such a shame that it's not JOJ being preserved digitally forever ☹

Did someone mention Alfie's attendance? 😂
After doing the math- he's missed almost 1/5th of his shows, I'd be pissed too- this isn't a principal/alternate lottery, people've paid specifically to see him...

I'd love it if JOJ ended up doing the live recording and an audience member shouting "Where's Alfie?!" was forever memorialised.

Aren’t tweets like this trolling the situation somewhat? I mean, fair play for being such a stellar alternate (and swing) but he’s certainly not playing anything down is he? I’d be surprised if a few noses weren’t a little out of joint by highlighting this, rather unfortunate statistic quite so explicitly. |

I used to follow JOJ on twitter. I didn’t get the impression that he’s a shrinking violet. Good for him, he’s saved the producers necks by being brilliant. Imagine if Alfie’s second had been less than up to it!
I hope JOJ has been rewarded appropriately.

Thank you, ukpuppetboy - I got shot down in flames for mentioning JOJ counting his performances. I'm not denying he's good, he really is, but he really is rubbing it in!

And John's always been a straight-talker on social media. |

I hope JOJ has been rewarded appropriately. I’m entirely certain of it. Though maybe with this top level sh*t stirring he’s going in for a bonus? 😉 |

It’s almost uncomfortable but also satisfying reading it, isn’t it?
I’d love to be a fly on the wall backstage.

Imagine if Alfie’s second had been less than up to it! I hope JOJ has been rewarded appropriately. I saw him in the unmasked workshop at the other palace and they had a bit where all the cast said who they were and why they loved Andrew and or has worked for him. John Owen Jones walked up and said ‘I’m John Owen Jones’ and walked back. Legend. |

He does not have to play down anything anyway. |

Mmmm, he seriously is not rubbing it in. He does not have to, you know. And to be honest, I don't think he regards Alfie as his rival or is interested in rivalry. Having watched him play JVJ for the last 4 months, I get the impression that he has been concentrating on giving the role his all and nothing else. |

He’s just stating a fact really isn’t he. If other people don’t like it than that’s there fault. He should be proud that he has gone over and above what was required of him contractually.
Wish he would have been on the cinema release

Cameron Mackintosh doesn't allow understudies to post anything on social media about when they are going to be on (even for planned absences), so I'm not sure he'd be a huge supporter of JOJ highlighting Alfie's attendance that way. |

I think given John’s usual cheeky sense of humour he’s probably skirting the edges of Cammack’s rules and knows it- yes we can all see what that tweet insinuates but the way it’s been worded you really can’t read it as a dig- and John’s the very last person Cammack can take an issue with since he’s the one saving his ass and the show this whole time.

Gosh, this whole thing has become awkward.
I do feel that the Alfie absence thing has become a real issue for this concert.

Ha ha ha, true and he more than deserves all the extra cash.
I was there for his last two performances and truly amazed that he just got better and better during this run as if there was still room for improvements. His final several performances genuinely took my breath away. A lady next to me last night was heavily sobbing from the Act 2 terzetto (is this the word?) onwards and so was I.
People have started calling him a legend and I too believe he deserves that title especially after what he has achieved in the last 4 months. I am full of respect for him.
So, let us not get caught up too much in Alfie's sick/overbooking issues in conjunction with JOJ. Alfie has serious work ethic issues. He's always had ever since his two uncalled-for remarks of several years ag (sorry, Alfie fans. I still respect your affection for him). But it's not a JOJ's problem and we should be paying our attention to his great achievements right now.
