I think a lot of us guessed this would happen a while ago with the gap in the touring schedule. I do feel a bit bad for Sandra getting sidelined if it is Beverley but Beverley is awesome and sells tickets. I wonder if Jennifer Saunders will want to do Mother Superior again or if they’ll want to get another name, or just keep Lesley.

The Eventim has a few things scheduled through July and a couple in August - could it go elsewhere?

Ooh interesting. Is this the touring production going in or a separate production? Think that's a typo, Beverley Knight from March* to June

Looks like they’ll have to cancel the Belfast dates.

The date of the first preview has changed in the short time that the website was taken down. From 16th to 15th.

So basically, I need to book before 10th June! Sorry, never paying money to see Alexandra Burke again.

This production doesn't appeal but Beverley Knight (never seen her on stage) might be enough for me to overlook that depending on ticket prices.

Seems I’m mistaken on the having to cancel Belfast front. Manchester, York, Glasgow and Brighton are now on sale for next year the same time as the London run - so looks like they will have two productions running side by side.

Look forward to seeing this production on a stage that's far too big for it once again 😂
And before the 10th June, you actually couldn't pay me to attend after that 🤷🏻♂️

So, if the tour is happening at the same time are they going to build a second set just for London? Ir is the original west end/tour set still in storage somewhere?

We will not be getting the original west end set.
They'll build a replica of the awful touring thing they've come up with and stick that in the Dominion like they did at the Apollo - we might get an extra pew if we are lucky.

Yeah I kind of guessed that would happen, crazy it's cheaper to just do another set. I really don't like the look of the new production. It used to be such great show

It's just really cheap, and made to fit into the smallest house on the tour which is probably the Everyman in Cheltenham.
A shame, but considering the wage bill for Bev and Saunders last year I'm not surprised there's basically no set...!

I’d see this with Beverley Knight if and when they do rush tickets. She’s worth the ticket alone.

Not sure I’ll be able to make Beverley, why do people not like Alexandra?!

A quality ripe brie full of flavour, depth & ability vs Aldi’s own brand Dairylea knock off (that’ll just give you heartburn).

Manchester has half price opening night offer for theatrecard holders. I wonder who it will be on tour. Sandra Marvin again?

Not sure I’ll be able to make Beverley, why do people not like Alexandra?! I saw her play the role before. She was so awful that I almost left at the interval, and if I hadn't known the show quite well I wouldn't have been able to understand a word she said. I've seen better amateur performances. Beverley, on the other hand, is absolutely phenomenal in the role. The idea that they do a press release involving both of them as though they're somehow equal talents, is just laughable.

Alexandra was hampered by the fact that the production left much to be desired. It was Craig Revel Horwood’s actor/musician version and it was cheap. But equally it has to be said that AB wasn’t great in it, certainly near the start of the tour when I saw it. Some have reported in this thread that she was fantastic though so it could be that she improved as the tour progressed.
