I do wonder what they're doing with the stage/set - I notice the premium priced seats are a bit higher in the auditorium than usual (compared to what theatremonkey suggests), so I suspect a high stage.

Ah well, booked them anyway - for £5 I'd sit on the roof.

Quite a nice quote from PTM regarding him becoming AD: "Sometimes I'm going to get it really wrong, sometimes I'll get it really right, but I hope I never play it safe. And I'm ok with that."

I can't find any of these shows on the St James website - is there a new site for the new name? Or am I just being dumb.... www.theotherpalace.co.ukJust booked for Wild Party, Whisper House and La Strada.

Couldn't resist those £5 tickets and I booked too. Still think that Frances Ruffelle is miscast, too old for the part and the plastic surgery hasn't done her any favours.
I love the Broadway version and also the Merchant Ivory non musical film. Hope I won't be disappointed.

I want to cry. I'm missing Whisper House by a week as it falls right through the cracks between two London trips next year. I'm a huge fan of Duncan Sheik's work and love the concept recording of Whisper House. Argh, out of spite I've now booked a £10 seat for Wild Party.

Hate the new name (what was wrong with the St. James Theatre?), but the programming seems interesting. I don't know Michael John LaChiusa's work at all, but may give THE WILD PARTY a go, as he seems like a composer I would like (plus I LOVE the poster art). In two minds about WHISPER HOUSE. I am interested, but not enamoured by the music I have heard.

Have to agree The Other Palace is not a great name

Really do not like the new name and hate the artwork. Is that what passes for 'hip and cool' now?

Frances and her were meant to star in Over Here years ago with Richard Fleeshman - nothing came of it.

Very excited by casting. Amused that the headshot of John Owen Jones is a bit...vintage shall we say! (Also will be nice to see JOJ NOT as Valjean or Phantom)

A couple of years ago I was part of the audience in a recording studio for Donna McKechnie's album Same Place, Another Time. He is quite a legend.
