Few questions because I want to come see this but I've never been to Manchester and I'm a bit funny about walking in places I don't know on my own at night. So how easy (and safe) is it to get from Hope Mill back to Piccadilly station? Holt Town Metrolink is just a few yards from the theatre, you can almost see it from the entrance and it’s 2 stops from Piccadilly. I’m guessing you wouldn’t be the only person walking to the tram stop after the show. |

I’m guessing you wouldn’t be the only person walking to the tram stop after the show. It’s New Islington tram stop that’s literally at the bottom of the street where the theatre is (Pollard Street) and that’s just one stop from piccadilly This is the walk from the theatre to the tram stop. Trams run from the lower level of piccadilly station, you don’t even need to go outside. Just follow the signs for metrolink.  |

So how easy (and safe) is it to get from Hope Mill back to Piccadilly station? My opinion here. If you follow the Google Maps route you stay on reasonably large roles until the centre of Manchester and there are always people and cars about. Leave the theatre, turn right, there's a busy road there up to an Ibis hotel/Dominos etc and a dual carriageway. Cross over and then the road almost straight ahead takes you into the centre of Manchester. That one is slightly quieter, but I've never felt unsafe. When you reach the centre of Manchester, it can be a bit of a party atmosphere at night, but no worse than most cities. Chances are other people will be walking in that direction as well. But if you're really not sure at any point, just stop and get an Uber. It will only be a few pounds and there are lots of discount codes available. And there is a tram stop really close to the theatre. |

It was really simple when we walked back to Picadilly.

Perfect show tonight again for my final visit. Isaac is my favourite Angel I’ve ever seen live. They really got the emotion over and sounded fabulous too (to be fair, I only have Alex, also very good, plus Layton, who has a fan base, to compare to).
Shocked at how few people in Manchester are willing to wear a mask. Getting off a train where most people in the carriage were masked, then going to a tightly packed theatre with practically no one wearing one (and with not even a verbal hint made to the audience that they should wear a face covering) was a shock. And this is for a show about the consequences of a horrific and deadly disease…
Excellent view and sound from the front row again. This ran long today, not finishing until 22:20.
A shout out to all the cast really. They haven’t added anyone to replace Isaac, but their lines were covered by the remaining ensemble. Joe Foster got the role of Gordon that always tears me up.
This could very easily transfer but unfortunately would be without the fantastic Dom Hartley-Harris (congratulations to Dom for the Dreamgirls role). I have been a fan of Jocasta Almgill since In The Heights and she excels here. But there isn’t a weak link in the cast.
I have to head back to London in the morning, but if anyone is lucky enough to be attending the remaining performances, please do report back. Wishing everyone involved a great final three.
