Rumours on BWW that this musical is coming to the Almeida next year. Anyone else heard anything? There were rumours about it a couple years ago but obviously covid made things uncertain so I guess it's finally going ahead. It would make sense since obviously Duncan Sheik has a good relationship with them. I'm pretty excited by the prospect since I've heard pretty positive things and the creative team is promising - Lynn Nottage being involved especially gives me some confidence - and I'm always happy to see a new musical with an original score.

And (possibly) a new cast recording! |

Been told something which backs this up and that we should expect it at the Almeida in the Spring of next year, with a high profile commercial producer attached.

Hope it happens - saw this in New York in 2019 and thought it was a lovely piece of theatre

No surprises that Sonia Friedman is attached to this one. Very high hopes.

Are we going to get a cast announcement before the sale?
What are the chances LaChanze will be in this production?

There's me thinking it was going to be a musical about bees with the cast in bee costumes until I clicked in the link.
So not what I was expecting at all and sounds a bit dreary.
Now I have the Arthur Askey song "Oh what a glorious thing to be" stuck in my head. And for those youngsters here, ask your grandma who Arthur Askey was.

I'm still haunted by how boring Whisper House was, this is supposed to be a lot better right?

So well deserved, she really was outstanding in Frozen. As much as I love Alexi, if they wanted all black leads for Wicked then Danielle would have been a great choice |

I did not have plans to see this show, but with this cast I'll just have to buy me a ticket.

Short queue, plenty of those nice £10 restricted seats available and my better half is interested.

Which are the good RV ones to go for? I had a bad one for Tammy Faye. It was Row J in the stalls and had 2 pillars with a slight gap inbetween in front which blocked the centre of the stage.

Ah, it is the ones closer than J. F&G options have have you sat by one pillar which you can lean slightly to see past and then it's just one small pillar. I book row F&G everytime, booked 'em twice today. Once for this and one for Women, Beware the Devil. Sat in them for Streetcar next week too.

Great thank you. I am Row G RV for Streetcar so hopefully will have better luck with that one than the Tammy Faye seat. |

There were also two performances previously not on sale - Thursday 18 and Friday 19 May - so best availability is on those two dates. |
