Chich's Assassins was far too on the nose for me - it went for the obvious and didn't make any particularly interesting choices which was a shame. Agree it went for the obvious, yet at the talkback I went to one of the cast spoke about their Republican American relatives who came to see the show and they commented to him that it was nice it didn't take a side politically 😂 People are so weird 😂

Odd summer programming. You can hear the papering already. My thoughts exactly.

When they released front row for Wizard of Oz for £20 they ended up having reprice them to £10 as it was SO bad so I'm actually gonna hold my nerve and wait.
Goodluck to you all though.

Short six week run at the OV perhaps - Sept/Oct? That slot is full with something else

Olivier nominee in a year of very slim pickings, where even the absolutely awful play she was in was up for Best Play too...
But I take your point.

I'd actually argue Dr Ranj (these days anyway) might have more public appeal than Lily Allen - he did Strictly, is a regular in Panto, and is on the most popular morning show on daytime TV in the UK.
I don't want either of them in plays/musicals for reference!

If this does get a cast recording, Lin-Manuel Miranda could probably sue for that song that literally is Satisfied!

Yes, unless something has gone dramatically wrong and they're forced to abandon right before curtain up, I'd imagine this'll go ahead this evening.

This is seemingly in a bit of a mess from what I've heard too - sounds like a very unhappy team on both sides.

The rear two rows of the platform sections has step free access so is (I assume) on the same level as the foyer - wheelchair positions are at the back of the platform section. The rest of it isn't step free so that does suggest a rake in the section.

Will Hugh Jackman be in it as he's now not doing the Palladium Panto? Another rumour that went round these boards. Being fair I think we saw where that rumour got confused as he's actually in a film reimagining of Robin Hood with Jodie Comer - I think someone just got their wires crossed/the wrong end of the stick.

Its not the right venue for it to have any kind of run - if it's park we get 12 weeks and done max

Are the standing tickets any good for this? I’d have thought they’d be too far away to get so much from it. Have stood right at the back corner of the upper circle and its fine(there's just no room to move in the Fortune at all)

Such a shame, it’s a fantastic show, and so good to see something original rather than a movie-based or cheap jukebox musical cluttering up a west end house. A pedant might call this a jukebox musical, given that the songs are from the back catalogue of a pop artist… That'd be like calling Girl From The North Country a jukebox musical (which I guess in a form it is, but I'd never call it one)

It's running until the end of its initial booking period but they had hoped it would extend, but sales have not been super.
