It does seem a little soon. Won’t bother with this show for another 10 years or so. We get endless revivals of the same few shows all over the country, but no Next to Normal, If/Then and a dozen other shows I’d rather see debut over here.

Wonder what form of scaffolding they'll use at Curve for this...
But great that Bill Deamer is choreographing another tap show!

Loved the last production at TR Drury Lane, this one will have a lot to live up to when it comes into London. Does seem very soon for a revival in London though!

It's great to have something to look forward to. I do like it when theatres announce way in advance.
What with this and Eurovison its the best Monday. Ever!

Tough sell for me after the Drury Lane version was basically everything I wanted from this show. Let's see what they come up with!

I often find that theatre shows need lights so we can see what's happening on stage, but maybe that's just me. There was quite a lot of lights in the last production of 4nd Street and I think that's quite helpful.

Hmm the last curve/Chichester 42nd Street was disappointing so bit sceptical on this one. Curve in general is a bit hit and miss.
Shame they didn't tour the drury lane production

This is now on general sale at the Curve Theatre Leicester and Sadlers Wells.
The Curve usually offer half price previews for the first few performances of their in-house productions but tickets for 42nd Street cost £50 to £59.50 for Price Area A seats from the opening night on Wednesday 17 May. Press Night is on Tuesday 23 May.
Even pricier at Sadlers Wells from 7 June. £75 to £110 for most of the stalls and First Circle, although there are plenty of £15 and £30 seats in the Second Circle.

Bristol Hippodrome Cardiff WMC Southampton Mayflower Dublin Bord Gais Manchester Palace Edinburgh Playhouse Liverpool Empire Birmingham Hippodrome None have a stage as deep as Drury Lane. This production as it was couldn’t transfer to any of those venues. It would have to be cut down and redesigned

It won't happen, but I'd personally love to see Sheena Easton return!
She famously vowed to never perform in Scotland again in 1990 after the infamous bottling incident though, so that might hinder her wanting to commit to a tour as well, even if she did return on a long shot.

She famously vowed to never perform in Scotland again in 1990 after the infamous bottling incident though, so that might hinder her wanting to commit to a tour as well, even if she did return on a long shot. Tell me more! As a Glaswegian who actually grew up in the same area as Sheena, I'm embarrassed by this whole incident and I'd like to think that today's generation would never behave this way as it was a few years before I was born, but Sheena infamously returned to perform in Glasgow in 1990 as part of the city of culture celebrations, in front of around 200,000 people in Glasgow green and was hurled with bottles filled with urine, ultimately cutting her set short after just three songs. She had become a pretty big star in the states in the 80s and adopted a bit of an American accent, so when she came on stage and started speaking with a twang the crowd turned on her and started throwing 'filled' bottles and little lights that had been handed out earlier in the day. The whole thing was tragically broadcast on TV and is pretty uncomfortable to watch - The TV crew tried their hardest to conceal what was going on and cut away after her third song, but you can clearly hear people chanting 'Who do you think you are' etc whilst she's speaking between songs. Sheena also describes it as the most embarrassing moment of her career in this interview - This incident is like folklore in Glasgow and will almost certainly be the first thing someone will bring up when Sheena's name is mentioned. She's still generally disliked to this day. That said, I think she's a brilliant vocalist and did brilliantly in 42nd Street in 2017.

Oh god that’s awful. Shame on those people behaving so hideously, Absolutely, it's terrible behaviour and totally reinforces the totally outdated stereotype that Glasgow is a rough place, when really it's a very progressive city steeped in art, music and theatre. For example, I remember when I was younger and used to watch CHF vlogs, she made a comment on one of them about how she was amazed that so many people in Glasgow were into theatre and coming to the shows during her time in Addams or something along those lines and it really annoyed me! Back on topic though, Sheena really didn't deserve that but I suppose it was a very long time ago now. The same thing happened to Daphne and Celeste at Reading Festival lol I've seen that video too, they seemed to be a bit of a novelty act though and I can't help but think they were loving every moment to be honest!
