Sleepless - A Musical Romance - Wembley Park Theatre

[BurlyBeaR]

 

Dear Ticketholder

World Premiere of Sleepless The Musical postponed.

We are very sorry to inform you that due to an illness within the producer’s family and overwhelming unexpected circumstances, SLEEPLESS The Musical, due at The Lowry from 25 – 29 April, has been postponed. The producer hopes to have further news of the future of the production next year.

We regret having to make this decision as we are very aware that this will be very disappointing for you and the rest of your party and with that in mind, we are pleased to announce that we have been able to secure the Oscar-winning love story GHOST THE MUSICAL, for the same period. To make things easier and to guarantee your seats, we have transferred your booking to the same seats and same performance. If you are happy with this transfer to GHOST, you do not need to do anything else; we will send you your new tickets and process a refund of £5.50 per ticket, which is the price difference between the two shows.

We are of course able to refund your ticket completely and if you would prefer to have a refund and not book onto GHOST please email us at [e-mail] confirming you wish to claim a full refund and we will contact you to arrange this. Please include your booking and seat refs, name and contact number in the email.

If we have not heard from you within 14 days we will assume you are happy with the GHOST booking; this brand new production of another romantic movie classic is one we are certain you will enjoy.

Once again, our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause and you can of course contact us at [e-mail] with any questions.

Best wishes

The Lowry

54 quid back in my handbag then. Now, what can I buy?

I've never heard of that before. Automatically transferring your booking to a totally different show and if we don't hear from you we assume that is OK.

[BurlyBeaR]

One way of selling Ghost tickets for a second visit in the same city!

Interesting way of doing it, for sure, but I'm sure they will still have to honour any later requests for refunds. I suspect a good number of people won't even read the email and the first they will know of it is when the Ghost tickets come through the letterbox (hopefully with a covering letter explaining why they have - otherwise there will be a lot of very confused people out there!).

[BurlyBeaR]

I'm very sorry to hear about the illness in the producers family but aren't there usually contingencies in place for that sort of thing? It's 3 months away, there must have been some considerable investment already, do productions just get pulled like that? Seems a bit odd...

BREAKING NEWS: "A shortage of Pickled Onion Flavour Monster Munch is upsetting large numbers of consumers in the Northern region of England at the present time."

BREAKING NEWS: "A lorry carrying chilled desserts including luxury trifles was hijacked this afternoon on the M6. Police have taken a man into custardy..." 😐

"Dear Ticketholder

We are sorry to announce that Sleepless has been cancelled due to poor ticket sales unforeseen circumstances.

As we anticipate that at least 80% of the audience will be completely tanked up on lambrini before the show and
will spend much of the show checking their emails and popping out to the bar and the loos, we have exchanged your
tickets to a production of Ghost as it's unlikely you'll notice the difference"

Hope he gets his just desserts...

TAXIIIIIII!

Terribly sad news. Would've been a great show - had booked tix just to see Danny and Carley on stage together. Praying they do another musical together this year but what....??

[Deleted]

Danny Mac for the lead in Strictly Ballroom please

[mrbarnaby]

This is a shame.

He'd have been good casting for An American in Paris

[wickedgrin]

Danny Mac must be gutted - he must have hoped for a career boost after his successful stint in Strictly.

Mr Barnaby - I had thought that myself. He had a very masculine and Gene Kelly style of dancing on Strictly which I thought would have suited the style of the show.

I thought I read somewhere that Robert Fairchild wasn't staying long and Ashley Day was lined up to take over afterwards. 

I guess I'll have to content myself with the Strictly Live tour in Leeds on Friday......

Strictly has boosted his career. He will no doubt be lined up for several other musicals and will easily get a job in musicals but it would've been nice to see him star alongside his finance, Carley. I love Carley's work but not sure she's as famous as Danny at the moment?

Thank God we don't have to have him on our stages acting soon.

[carmella1]

Feel very sorry for Danny so close to the production.

[wickedgrin]

I don't think he will be "lined up for several other musicals" - he will have cleared his diary for Sleepless and not been considered for anything else. Definitely not good news for him. With these reality TV shows you have to cash in quickly and establish yourself before the next years crop of celebs turns up and the focus shifts to them. In a year or so's time it will be who's Danny Mac. How many celebs can we name from previous series?

I agree with you there that you couldn't name many celebs from other series but Danny is also known from Hollyoaks too. He has left that and I presume will focus on a musical theatre career from now on. Carley is also known for being in Hollyoaks for 10 years so it would be great to see them onstage together - I just hope it's the right show!

It looks like it's alive again, and coming to the West End before the end of the year!

oh wow.

See, this is a show I could see going to the theatre we dare not mention out of fear of backlash.

[BurlyBeaR]

They “secured a theatre” two years ago. I had a ticket for it at the Lowry. If they couldn’t do it back then I don’t see how they’re going to get this in in the West end by December. Sounds like a load of grandstanding.

For the love of God, will this thing NEVER die?!

[BurlyBeaR]

It’s called Sleepless (with no Seattle) to save money on royalties apparently.

Ok.

(Cheap).

[Deleted]

What a really odd article. The main chappie seems like a piece of work with his comments about not paying royalties.
