Don’t get me wrong I do think she has a nice voice and a nice belt but her acting needs work and I don’t think she can reach that high, if they cut the high notes for her they’ll lose so much of the shows value

I thought it might happen, as I figured they wouldn’t want to wait too long to get a production on, but I’m devastated that the timing of the run means Charlotte Wakefield is unable to return as Veronica - she was absolutely brilliant in the workshop

Goodness, how depressing. That woman has done about as much for artistic integrity as Subway has for fine-dining.

One thing I do give Carrie credit for, I'm glad she hasn't just ditched her theatre routes now that she has even bigger YouTube success, best selling books, music etc. She could of gone down the route of never doing theatre again so it's nice to see her stick to theatre, despite mixed feeling toward her.

Any predictions on the rest of the cast. Or will it mostly be a reprise of the workshop cast, minus Charlotte Wakefield and Amy Ross (unavailable due to Wicked tour)

Buzzing to see a full production of this show, and really pleased for the exposure this will give The Other Palace, but looooord the fans. Can't deal with all the caps lock... Carrie fangirls be in full force. Glad to see the Other Palce getting recognised though.

Something tells me there’s a new Duke then, I can’t imagine them clearly using a black/mixed race illustration and casting her, would cause uproar

I feel like Heathers is one of those “legacy” shows which everyone raves about when they first come out. Others being Wicked, Hamilton, Waitess and Dear Evan Hansen. This will definitely sell out because of Fletcher’s name being above the door. I can just imagine the stage door situation being a nightmare when this opens.

There is no “stage door” at The Other Palace but in my one experience there (Rent) the cast all just leave through the foyer/bar anyway so everyone can approach them for a chat/photos. Carrie’s going to have a bit of trouble on her hands! 😂😂

There are ushers on every door with a signed photo of Carrie”

I've been there five or six times now, and to confirm yes, no stage door, jusy entry through the bar/foyer. And no special fire exits or treatment for the stars, Kelsey Grammer entered and exited through there, so Carrie won't hve any special treatment. The trouble here is those fangirls will for sure be blocking the main entrance to the venue, which is also a resturant and bar so that will no doubt cause issues.

I understand the main house at The Other Palace production for this is slated for middle of next year. Get hyped people. Any updates? I'm trying to map out my travel plans. Sorry for not replying Mailtrix, I understood formal announcement was immenent so thought the question would answer itself sooner and didn’t want to undermine the official one. Glad it’s all going official now anyway. Firefingers, bringing you the news 4 months early. 😏

Well, despite all the judgement that Carrie gets, I think she’s a very talented singer and while she may have been a little too ‘Disney Princess’ as Wednesday, her Eponine was the best of the three that I’ve seen. I’ve wanted Heathers to come over here ever since I heard the OBCR, and I love the score, so I’m very excited by this news and will be very interested to see Carrie’s take on the role.

I can’t find a date for when tickets go on sale yet, I can’t imagine it’s not much longer to wait though?

I now realise how foolish I look as it’s actually on TOP’s twitter account. Whilst Carrie’s attitude is more than a little grating, she’s definitely talented, plus I’ve wanted to catch this since seeing the film.

I'm excited for it. I found Carrie very good on The Addams Family and noticed no struggles with her vocals and thought she sounded really good.
Never seen the show before or heard many of the songs but heard so much about it I'm definitely going to book.

can anyone see where on the site they'll be on sale? Usually for an on sale they'd have a show page by now, but there doesn't seem to be one for heathers yet?

Back to a previous conversation, does anybody have any guesses as to who the rest of the cast will be? Heaven forbid that boy from Addams ends up as JD which I’m sure Carrie is desperate for

Seems like there’s huge demand - the website has crashed I think.

Due to an ‘unprecedented’ number of people apparently. Rubbish if you ask me, they knew exactly how much demand there would be.
