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

😂😂😂 Imagine if they saved the cupcakes that got shoved on stage for that!

Id be surprised if this didn't tour but I imagine the majority of the cast would be different apart from a small few who may return.

The producer said that they've been looking for theaters for next year.

It’s basically confirmed to be back next year now

I think Carrie would be their star vehicle and marketing technique if it toured, e.g. "CATCH HEATHERS FRESH FROM THE WEST END AT THE NEW ALEXANDRA THEATRE BIRMINGHAM - STARRING YOUTUBE SENSATION CARRIE HOPE FLETCHER AS VERONICA" - I think that T'Shan will be the only Heather that potentially returns. Jodie is doing RoA, and I am hoping that Sophie will be the next Glinda in Wicked, replacing Sophie Evans. For Heather Chandler, I was thinking Ashleigh Gray, Sarah Earnshaw, or a return of Amy Ross. But I wouldn't want Amy because she needs to be the London Elphaba whether she likes it or not. (sorry if that sounds stalker-ish but I and many others adored her interpretation of that role and would agree with me that she needs to be seen by the London crowd).

I wouldn't be surprised if they used stunt casting in some of the supporting roles to draw in the crowds.

This afternoon I was sat in front of two “fangirls” (their words) plus another who wasn’t in their party but was sat next to them. Their shared love of the show quickly forged a connection between the strangers, which was lovely to see, and I’m sure they’d meet up again (in my head they do anyway!)

On the negative side though, my eardrums weren’t quite prepared for the repetitive screaming that would ensue throughout, directly behind my head. Aside from this, the audience were great and their enthusiasm again heightened the experience.

Danielle Hope?

It's not though. Any show could say "keep an eye out..." or "watch this space..." it's just a ploy to keep the hype going, nothing concrete

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

They’d have to bring it down a fair bit for that to happen. 😬

Andy Fickman presumably wants the show to go all the way to Broadway. They've had a fairly successful run in London, so they'd be idiots to not consider a UK tour and perhaps try and bring it back into London in a year or so, but every production which is in any way successful considers a tour, it doesn't mean it's viable. I'd be interested for anyone with their ear to the ground to know if the TRH run was financially a success - I know when it first opened there were a huge number of seats unsold but apart from the odd matinee I haven't heard of empty houses for Heathers, and I wonder how much of that is full-price ticket sales versus other means of shifting seats. If it did do reasonably well in the West End, and they do end up touring it, I still think they'll need CHF to make a good go of it. Maybe I'm out of touch but I don't see Heathers making big waves outside London without Carrie's audience coming with her. We shall see.
