Kicking myself I didn't book for this, especially after seeing Bev & the cast on the Oliviers the other night. There are a few top price seats available for Fri/Sat. Well worth what I paid - I really enjoyed this. In some areas it is so slick, witty and clever. Lyrically, I think it needs some tweaking, musically it is superb. So glad I took the plunge - I'd happily see it again. |

I’ve just woken up with lines from March Women March as the soundtrack to whatever dream I was in…..aargh need a cast recording! Found the Olivier performance on YouTube to play instead. Like a Sylvia patch.
Old Vic still replying to people on Twitter saying there’s no plans for anything else……yet?
“There are no current plans for a tour or transfer, but you can keep an eye on our socials or join our mailing list for all future Sylvia updates! OV”
Was a response a few days ago - no current plans, future updates?
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Such a creative piece and my favourite of the 2023 new musicals so far! |

I think it has a future life but needs a good 2-3 week workshop to fix a lot of the narrative issues first. There's something solid in there, it just needs some serious restructuring in order to come out

Perhaps wires have been crossed? |

Perhaps wires have been crossed? Suffs is opening stateside... but Jay has uploaded an Instagram story of him and some castmates in a recording studio with the hastag #SylviaCastRecording So looks like it's happening! |

Yes, as thedrowsychaperone mentioned he put #SylviaCastRecording and posted a pic with other cast members, so it is definitely Syliva they are recording for. Although, I would also like to see a Suffs transfer!
Really enjoyed Sylvia when it was on and with a bit of workshopping would love to see it back, whether that's a West End run or tour who knows

I remember really enjoying the score to this, so having an album will be great! Does anyone know if Beverly has anything lined up publicly after “Sister Act”?

Oh this is exciting news! I really rated this and would love to see it back. I can’t imagine they’d be doing a cast recording if there wasn’t at least a decent chance of a WE run.
I was actually rewatching the Olivier performance on YouTube the other day because I was thinking about Sylvia!

I remember thinking that this score was very special and needed to be preserved. I hope it’s happening. I’m not sure if the show overall was excellent, but the score was.

This IS exciting news!
I loved the show so it would be fantastic to hear it again on a cast recording, and even better to see it again in the West End. Presumably they wouldn’t be bothering to do a cast recording this long after the OV run ended if it wasn’t about to have a new lease of life?
As for Beverley, she has quite a few tour dates lined up through the summer and into September, but I’ve not seen any engagements confirmed after that.

If this does get a cast recording, Lin-Manuel Miranda could probably sue for that song that literally is Satisfied!

I really didn't get the hype around this - i found it almost embarrassingly bad & left at the interval - however the joy of art is that everyone experiences it differently & im genuinely hopeful for a transfer for those of you who loved it so much!

To each their own I guess! I felt the same for Groundhog Day. Many reviews were praising it, but I left at the interval. Couldn’t stand it. |
