I know that a lot of shows do not publish the schedule of the children for child protection reasons.

Just the Phantom tour in Manchester and that's because my Mum booked it.

I don't suppose anyone here was there? Great to see an official account so supportive of their understudies too!

If you could rummage through it all, which single prop would you appropriate from the iconic original Les Miserables? Are we allowed to choose Bradley Jaden? 😍

They were for a campaign a while back and I'm not sure many of them are still up around London. I've certainly not seen any for a while.

The Rachel Tucker fan club.
Day seat for every show in the week. Watch the show. Rejoin the queue straight after...
Crazy times.

Wicked still have the crazy fans but not sure they are in the same numbers of the past.
Long gone are the days of camping out for a week at cast change 😉

For the first time in my life I have double booked myself and find myself having booked this and Joseph on the same night. I guess a refund is out of the question but anyone know how accommodating they are to swapping tickets?
I really don't want to be stung with a load of silly charges either. I'd rather the seat goes empty if that is the case.

I feel like we all need to go down there and chain ourselves to this magnificent set to stop them taking it out.
Who's with me?!

If she responds to every story she will be responding all day everyday and giving them more attention.
If she sues the only thing that will happen is a line apologising, hidden somewhere in the paper. What is the point?
I cannot imagine what it must be like to have to live your life under such unrelenting scrutiny with people searching for things, anything, to try and bring you down.

So those in audience who didn’t / couldn’t drink just missed out ? You aren't going to please everyone all of the time. It was a lovely gesture and was very appreciated.

Ironically, Dan Woolton who was the Sun showbiz editor but has now been promoted, (no idea how but his bio on there says how many followers he has on social media, which seems to be the only thing that counts these days) is forever tweeting Shez. More recently to try and do some work together to help those with mental health. What a cheek, I thought, when he used to really tear into people in his column.

It was worth seeing for Maria alone, she is brilliant.

How frustrating, this is my guess at who you actually saw then: Tevye - Craig Pinder Perchik - James Hameed Fyeka - Ed Wade Constable/Avram - Adam Linstead Mendel - Taylor Walker Bielke and Shprinze - Hopefully whatever the thing in the foyer said Yep, I've found the photo I took of the white slip and those were the names. Was more annoyed that according to the board Phillip was on when he clearly wasn't and he was the one I was most excited about seeing. Ah well... The joys of live theatre! Bielke was Talia Etherington Shprize was Elena Cervesi

That was what was up at the theatre yesterday. It's very annoying when it's not right. I was in the circle so spent most of the show trying to work out who I was actually seeing.

So- the question is- will they be allowed to continue calling it the worlds longest running musical ? Because they sure as hell shouldn’t be.. I'm not sure what the "rules" are regarding these things but the in concert version does not begin until tenth August. If it started on Monday they could have a claim but starting in a month's time?

Let's be honest, the average audience member probably goes along to Les Mis for the iconic songs.
They won't know all this back story and, if they did, probably wouldn't care.

If you want to know all about this paper and the truth, ask anyone from Liverpool!

If it was reported that Jason Donovan had asked which female cast member had the best boobs, you can guarantee that the usual people on here would be up in arms about it. It's shocking that Sheridan Smith should get a pass for the exact same thing. Nobody is getting a pass for anything. None of us knows what went on, if indeed anything did at all. I'm not going to condemn someone on the Internet just because that ridiculous excuse of a newspaper prints something.

I'm sure that whether it is true or not they will keep on digging until they can find any more nonsense stories that may or may not be true.
Good old Great British gutter Journalism!

I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of the show. I've seen it once previously (because I wanted to see Alfie Boe). I like the film and I own the concert version on DVD. I just felt I needed to be there tonight and how glad I was.
From the moment the show began I cried and cried throughout. Actually I more than cried. I sobbed. And sobbed and sobbed. The staging is just awesome. The revolve so powerful. That baracade... It got entrance applause all on its own, which summed up the night. I was in the upper circle and the atmosphere was absolutely electric from start to finish. An incredible piece of theatre. Deans speech and the champagne was a lovely touch. He said about fifteen of this cast are going into the concert version.
I'm not one of the people who say change is bad. I have a visit to the Touring production booked in for August and am really looking forward to seeing how that production differs. But if you have created something THIS powerful. That looks so good. Why would you ever feel the need to change it?! To save a bit of money does not seem reason enough somehow.

The leads..sorry, Bradley Jaden was practically invisible as Javert I have to completely disagree with you there. I thought he was incredible. That voice! Totally agree about the lack of diversity though. It isn't good enough.

Announcement just before curtain up "this is the last performance of the original production"
Cue mayhem in the audience.

Jason Donovan is away today if anyone wants to make out more of the show lyrics. Yes Richard Carson is his cover. I'm sure he will be wonderful. My friend is gutted as she is a big fan but booked before realising Jason was off. I was going to book later myself but when I was browsing they had added to seat select page that he is off which. I've not seen that on an actual booking page before (usually seems to be hidden in the blurb). I was impressed.

^You are very pleased that musicalmarge is in a minority with her negative review??? Why? Is this some kind of competition in which we keep score? Surely all opinions are relevant If you like a show and want it to succeed is it not natural to hope it gets favourable reviews from critics and audience members alike? I can't see anything wrong in that!

She is great and I am a fan but I've seen her too many times already to get excited.
