Heathers: The Musical - TRH / The Other Palace / @sohoplace

I think there’s no official signing after matinees, but (as evidenced) cast may be happy to stop and sign on their way out to go and get food etc.

Dominic Andersen tends to be shirtless on stage a lot. First Rocky Horror, now this. Not complaining at all.

ETA: epic fail at quoting.

I just saw it and it left me quite underwhelmed I have to say. I don’t really get the hype. Vocally the cast are great, no doubt about that, but overall it didn’t really do anything for me. Nice to have seen it but glad I went for the cheap £15 seat and will not return/attempt to see it again.

Interesting. So they already have cast Heather Chandler for the west end run or Jodie Steele is missing the start of Rock Of Ages (Which seems unlikely but you never know)

Well tonight I was in seat A9, and there was only a couple of other guys on the front row so I thought there was a good chance I’d end up being ‘Steve’ based on comments on here. Sure enough, I was made to stand up and had my head stroked. I am thankful to you all for preparing me however, as I was armed with a response: “Honey you are barking up the wrooooong tree”.

Overall I really enjoyed it! It’s not perfect by any means, and there are a few features (sets/costumes) that had the patented Kenwright cheapness to them (disappointing considering the amount they’re charging for tickets)

The performances were outstanding from all. Seventeen and Kindergarten Boyfriend especially.

I attended the workshop last year, and was good to see they’d taken a lot of the feedback onboard. Some parts were better in my imagination than the actually turned out to be, one example being when Martha’s final appearance, when the creator described her coming on in an electric wheelchair it sounded hilarious, but the reality fell very flat. They could have done with a proper wheelchair and at least a bandage on her head or something.

I won’t be rushing back, but glad I saw it.

As far as I am aware Jodie Steele will be continuing in the role of Heather C, at least for the initial few weeks of the west end transfer.

Spotlight has casting notices for principal & understudy Heather Duke

I thought that T'Shan was EASILY the weakest of the Heathers (and often looked awkward on stage) so I wonder if the producers are replacing her for the transfer or if she has other commitments?

The tickets were priced incorrectly. I bought one as my friend who is over from the States for a month really wants to see it and I just had an email saying it should have been £75 and the £20 is being refunded.

Love that - it's made £75 sound cheap! 😂

Saw the matinee today of this, full house from the looks of it, mostly teenage girls which wasn't a surprise having read previous posts here. They seemed to enjoy it a lot more than I did, screaming and clapping after every song (but mostly well behaved in between). That's not to say that I didn't enjoy it, a few good songs, good performances and made me chuckle a few times but, as others have said, tonally all over the place, I've never seen the film so have no idea how it compares. Didn't have the best seat, in A25, had quite a lot of looking at the back of people's heads, and that may have hampered my enjoyment a tad, but was afforded a very good view of the disrobed gents, I didn't know where to look Struggled to hear words some times, a lot in group numbers, and also noticeably from T'Shan, not sure if that was acoustics where I was sat, mic levels or vocal register, or a mix of all three. So, glad I've seen it but not one I'm fussed about catching again.

You would easily win that one if you chose to contest it. There have been seats priced at less than £20 (and probably closer to the stage), so this comes well within expected bounds, particularly when dynamic pricing is considered. Especially if you/your friend had already forked out for travel and/or hotels, booked time off work etc.

Social media or one of the consumer rights columns in the newspapers would be your friend here.
