A very early version of the show was called "Feeling Electric".The poster reminds me of that. Of course the show has drastically changed since then.

The marketing team for this continue to knock one out in the park, probably the worst trailer I've ever seen for a musical. It starts with what I guess is a song clip that's joined at a point of full 'counter melody', but out of context it just sounds like two pieces of conflicting audio have been left on the trailer in error; then subsequent song clips seem badly/screechily sung (I saw it at the Donmar, the singing was great).
I can only assume they are still stuck on the psychedelia thing that the poster design suggests. White room, fast cutting, atonal; they might as well go the full Ken Russell and slide around in foam suds while smearing themselves with baked beans.

It is a terrible trailer - why are they trying to include a line from every song? Despite loving this show and cast, I scroll straight past this video every time it pops up on my feed because it’s just noise!! Awful marketing.

Jack Wolfe has managed to pick up another award (Critic’s Circle Theatre) for his role in this. I am curious to see if he manages to get the Olivier too. I’m no expert on these things but I would wager he’s this production’s best shot at one.

I think Elle is their best shot at a win personally - for me supporting actress is the least competitive of the musical categories and thus Elle has the clearest shot.

I'm wondering if we'll get an Olivier N2N performance? And if, so what song they would do? Could copy the Tonys and do 'You Don't Know/I am the One'. Or maybe 'Superboy & the Invisible Boy' if they want to focus on Jack & Ellie. Or 'I'm Alive' if they think Jack is their best shot.

At least they can say they were nominated.

Is Cassie scheduled to do all the shows when the show transfers to the Wyndham’s?

This cast were super reliable in the Donmar run. I remember Ellie was out for a few days and I think Jack O missed one show, but Caissie, Jamie, Trevor & Jack W did every performance. Wonder if they have the same understudies as last time?

I seem to remember the understudies being listed on the website and being different - at least Caroline Maitland wasn't listed as the Diana understudy.

Has any announcement been made about Day Seats for the transfer? I missed out on Donmar tickets so I'd like to build a trip to London around the possibility of seeing this. It's been a good few years since I saw the original on Broadway but it remains one of my most memorable experiences over there.

A video has ( link) been released on WhatsOnStage's YouTube of Eleanor, Cassie, and Jack W singing Superboy and the Invisible Girl, and there's been hints on N2N's Instagram about a similar one for I'm Alive coming soon. Hopefully this means good things for a cast recording - they all sound great.

No Info regarding day seats yet. I assume this will get a rush, I can't see it being popular enough for a lottery, but you never know.
