I wonder whether "as live" means they'll be streaming a difference performance each time or the same performance each time. If they former then I might book for more than one stream, assuming I enjoy the production upon first viewing.

I'm very glad of the streaming - Chichester seems further away than ever after a year of going nowhere - I also rather like the fact that one show per week will be socially distanced, giving those who are still cautious about full 'mixing' a chance to see it in the room as well.

Considering that the average audience member age at Chichester is about 80 it will have the highest number of double vaccinated people.

Looks like you can book for the South Pacific Stream 'The performance of South Pacific being streamed will be recorded live in front of an audience at CFT in July. The same performance will be broadcast on each of the stream dates. The cast appearing in the recording is as detailed on the cast and creatives tab.'

Ah, so it is the same performance being streamed each time. I suppose that'll save me some money only seeing it once then.

But it will be the same stream. I got the distinct impression it would be 'LIVE' - Romantics Anonymous for example. Beggars can't be choosers, I am just happy to see this show in any way possible, it's one of my favourite R&H musicals. |

They won't do it but I wish they'd stream performances with Gina Beck as well as Alex Young.

It will be Gina Beck as they are filming a performance in July to stream on the dates advertised Yes, it will. I just wanted there to be streamed versions with both seeing as they're sharing the role and will both be amazing! |

Email tonight from the CFT - To comply with the regulations, we need to reduce the capacity of South Pacific performances from 5-17 July in order to maintain the mandatory social distancing.
The date of your booking falls within the affected period of time. We are working as quickly as possible through all affected bookings and will be in touch with you very shortly to offer you a range of available option.
Fingers crossed I'll still get to see this in person, if not at least a streamed version is an option.

Going on the 15th but not received anything so far. Going to be difficult as its pretty much sold out as far as I'm aware and I'm booked for matinee. Can only do matinee as live in London and can't get back after evening show on train.

Hopefully my ticket will stand, if not, it is a streamed performance later on in the run |

Agree, at least a stream so better than nothing. |

CFT was selling all performances as limited capacity (at around 70%) there was clarity on the restrictions, as well as a number of fully socially distanced performances. They rather sensibly stopped selling performances between 5-19 July sometime last week (or rather they showed them as sold out) with the exception of the two socially distanced performance which are still on sale. If these performance had genuinely sold out then that's around 250 seats per performance too many, however for most performance after 19 July there are still quite a lot of of seats, so fingers crossed that was the case before too. Hopefully by anticipating today's announcement they will be able to give most people the option of staying in their booked performance albeit in different seats, or swapping to a later performance.
Well done to them for being prepared for the change, and also being very front footed in the communications.

I’ve managed to get the same date and front row but on the other side the stage. Very happy I’ll still get to see this. I’ll see you there on the 15th July matinee. |

Just got my e-mail, also decided to stick with same date and ended up with very similar seats on the opposite side of the auditorium.
Kudos to all the Box Office staff (across the land) grappling with this re-arranging of everybody's seats malarkey, it must be a right headache to organise.

Looks like they've moved everyone around now, all the performances with the socially-distanced seating for the first two weeks are back on sale.
