The truth is being spoken I saw this tweet earlier and agree (mostly). I also felt the same way when Young Frankenstein came over... I could go on about posters and marketing, but I'll refrain from digressing further from Anything Goes.How about starting a thread? I’d be interested! |

I love some of the creativity the long runners have used in their marketing. The character portraits Les Mis did a few years ago were stunning.

Yes the artwork isn't the greatest but at the moment I really don't care as live theatre is coming back

For people who booked from Barbican directly have they announced what’s happening to tickets for earlier dates (moved, cancelled and voucher to rebook). I’ve booked with TodayTix and unsure if I should book myself for my preferred date and seat

I booked direct with Barbican, got an email last on Thursday saying that I would get a revised e-ticket for a different date within the week, with the opportunity to contact the Barbican to change the date if the new date didn't suit.

The replacement is for the equivalent date in the run given the amended dates. |

I was originally booked for June 8, which was just after the revised opening date of June 5 (and meant that my booking had become a preview performance which I wasn't thrilled about)
Was rebooked to 27 July which is about the same number of days after the new opening date, so I imagine everyone has been moved to the same relative performance in the run.
Barbican responded very quickly to my email to move me to mid-August.

Barbican responded very quickly to my email to move me to mid-August. Thanks. By that maths I’m already double booked on my new date so I might just go ahead and book a date I can do. |

I've still not heard anything, I just think it's bad that LTD are still selling tickets for the 24th July matinee when it's not going ahead. Other theatre ticket sellers have taken it down

She's currently learning the tap choreo. Glad to hear she's tapping in it, I know some, people were a bit worried she wouldn't when compared to Sutton. I'm sure she's going to be fab x

There's no way Kathleen Marshall would have picked her if she couldn't do the choreography. This isn't like Elaine Paige or Patti LuPone who stood at the back whilst the ensemble did the choreo.
You only have to look at Megan's theatre career to know she is perfectly capable of doing this.
I can't wait!
