Tweet has been deleted, what was it? Ah. It was one of the larger West End PR guys saying that this going into the Fortune was the 'worst kept secret in the WE' with a couple of promo images for the Nov 18 announcement. |

ATG clearly have no tears for The Woman in Black closing if they've moved on onto the next show for the Fortune already.

5 weeks of previews and then an 8 week run.

5 weeks of previews and then an 8 week run. 8 weeks seems short but I assume there are banking on extending. |

It's going to be so strange seeing a new show at the Fortune Theatre but also exciting at the same time.

It’s on the ATG webpage for The Fortune, and apparently goes onsale in 5 minutes.

Does anyone understand this pricing structure at all or am I just going mad?? Why is the entire theatre £80 for Friday nights and Saturdays?

Glad its not just me (though with our similar names maybe it is!) Each performance seems to be one price wherever you sit Which is a nice deal for the stalls for £35, but utterly mad to even consider buying a £80 upper circle ticket. It feels like someone's made a mistake, but also I have absolutely no idea how that mistake would happen so I assume that's not the case... Will be interesting to see if prices change. |

Am I the only person that found this really indulgent and self knowing. Plus it was obvious half the cast were the writers as opposed the best actual performers for the roles? In the hands of experienced musical theatre performers and a director who could prune it down then maybe.
For me I felt like I was on the outside of a end of year BTEC Performing Arts Course show

Probably one of the best musicals I've seen in recent years. Can't wait to watch this talented cast absolutely smash it once again. Ticket booked!
I really hope they release a soundtrack with this run.
The weekend prices after previews are really not great. I can imagine these definitely being lowered soon.
I do wonder if they've upgraded the set for a West End Stage and if they'll change a few things during the preview period.

Am I the only person that found this really indulgent and self knowing I saw it at Southwark Playhouse in January this year and although I liked it, I didn't think it was anywhere near the raving adoring reviews other people seem to have come out with. I agree that I thought it was quite self indulgent and very wink wink nudge nudge in terms of direction if that makes any sense. |

I'm completely baffled that this is still on sale at only one price bracket per performance... Are we never going to get a sensible pricing structure??

No we aren't.
One price for previews.
One price for post press night.
You can tell a stand up comedy promotor is the main producer can't you...

Almost £80 for an upper circle ticket is surely never going to sell? It's absurd. No one in their right mind would or should pay that. I love this show, but christ!

It saddens me. One of my favourite shows I saw this year and it's setting itself up for failure...

Their argument (I'm sure) is it's such a small theatre there are no bad seats - which we know for a fact is absolute cobblers.
Avalon being the lead producer for this always worried me for when this got to the West End - they work in standup comedy, they are not musical theatre producers. This show deserves to be huge, but I have a horrid feeling it's all going to go horribly wrong for them...

Is this a joke? Is this going to be an 'aha, got you' moment from the producers? Will I get some reward or partial refund on the day for paying £80 to sit at the back of the circle - the same bleeding price as the stalls?
And at the Fortune Theatre, of all places.

It’s produced by a company who mostly represent stand up comedians, they don’t really understand how musicals should be priced. |
