I'm confused. Not difficult I know but is this thread about Beauty and The Beast, Anything Goes or bring rude about Sheridan Smith? Or all of the above? Seems to be 50% Beauty and the Beast, 25% other shows at the Palladium, 25% Sheridan and Jane bashing! |

Some designs have been revealed by Ann Hould-Ward, costume designer. Better than the NetWorks tour for sure, but still not my favorite.

There's a presale for Beauty and the Beast at Leicester through Disney Tickets. The email I received half an hour ago states it's for 24 hours only. I'm currently in a queue which had 1500 people in front of me when I joined it. Currently no.252
(got in to booking system after about 20 minutes, Saturdays selling fast, ticket prices reasonable, row D stalls closest to front currently available and I paid £55 per seat there)

I thought I signed up by email for the Disney presale but can't find anything in my inbox. Maybe I'm getting confused. Glad it's reasonably priced, guess I'll have to wait for the Tuesday general sale

Glad it's reasonably priced, guess I'll have to wait for the Tuesday general sale If it's allowed and would help, send me a private message with your email and I'll forward the link. Can't guarantee it will work but I had to enter all my details to book today so don't think it's restricted. |

Hasn't someone on here already said it's London for Christmas? Feel like MrB did?
I mean, if they were thinking Palladium then there's no reason it couldnt go home to the Dominion really.... (Anything to get rid of Prince of Egypt)

If not the Palladium and I am sure the royal visit gave the panto elevation.
If it couldn’t get a big London theatre, then maybe it could park up at Hammersmith.

It would be highly likely to end up at the Dominion. Prince of E won’t run for long if it reopens.

MrB knows from what he speaks but my question is why would Prince of Egypt not run long if it reopens? I think I read they were making it an open ended run when they were returning? Or has that changed? Also, is there a chance Hello Dolly will be coming this year or is it def 2022 because of Imelda's commitment to "The Crown"? |

I would’ve thought Prince of Egypt would make the 2021 Christmas season, if it does open next year. If it did issue closing notices I would have though it would be for January 2022.
Wicked was doing fair business, nut was no where near selling out and relied on tourists, this show could be at risk.

Prince of Egypt won’t run because it’s terrible and it had no advance. The general feeling is that Hello Dolly won’t happen at all now, as Imelda is tied up with The Crown until 2024. And it’s highly likely she will get an awful lot of exposure following its first season with her and those Hollywood projects are hard to turn down $$$$$ |

Wicked was doing fair business, nut was no where near selling out and relied on tourists, this show could be at risk. The key thing keeping Wicked going is that the Apollo Victoria is an absolute barn and no other show wants the space. Yes it’s often only half full but that’s still more people than a sold out Les Mis (for example). It still makes a boatload of cash for ATG so they’ll be in no rush to show Wicked the door unless a really promising proposal comes along. And if sales really slow down I would expect there to be a greater likelihood of Wicked being able to negotiate a rent reduction rather than being booted. Owing to its roots as a “super cinema” the AV has a small stage compared to the other theatres of similar capacity (looking at Dominion/Drury Lane//Lyceum/Palladium) so a mega production might not fit. Wicked is by no means a small show but it was downsized from Broadway. I believe the London production is modelled on the 1st US tour (I’m sure someone will correct me on that if I am mistaken!) I know there has been talk in the past of Wicked using its U.K. tour set and downsizing to a smaller venue - obviously that hasn’t happened yet but I wouldn’t rule it out in the future if they feel that it makes economic sense. Anyway I’ve veered a little off topic! Dominion would be a great shout for BATB. Again it’s a barn but a limited run should do well. As I understand it, Prince of Egypt’s sales weren’t anywhere near where they needed to be. It really wouldn’t surprise me if when it does come back it Is announced as a limited season. Time will tell I guess. |

Time will tell I guess. According to some die-hard wicked fans I know, the show was barely changed from the broadway production. It’s pretty much a carbon copy if you ignore the British accents. The only major difference is that the London’s proscenium is sightly smaller but retains the same level of detail. The touring sets have always used a very downscaled proscenium. |

Agree if Wicked did move on, Apollo Victoria will struggle to get a tenant.
I did hear changes that got made to Wicked in the West End ended up going into the Broadway show. Not sure what theses are as I don’t follow the show that closely. So any super fans please post?
The 2nd Wicked tour done better than the 1st tour, prove there is still an appetite for the Emerald City. Did the 2nd tour ever complete? Obviously the UK tour would be mainly natives in the audience, I would say the exact opposite for the West End. However it would be a struggle to fill that barn, if Wicked did move on.
Consensus on here is that a Panto is going back into the London Palladium.

I was thinking there is no way they’d want to get rid of wicked I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon either as it’s about to celebrate it’s 15th anniversary next year. So this is great news for wicked :-)

And it’s highly likely she will get an awful lot of exposure following its first season with her and those Hollywood projects are hard to turn down $$$$$ Imelda can't be tied in to the Crown until 2024, season six filming is scheduled for 2022 (season 5 is being filmed in the second half of next year). Promotion for a series can be fitted around other things, especially now everyone has become used to Zoom interviews. No one with any business sense would kick Wicked out of the Apollo Victoria without a guaranteed mega hit on a Hamilton scale to replace it, as that building is far too big otherwise to make it easy to rent. Doesn't work for limited runs. |
