I’m sad this show has closed. I saw it earlier last year and unfortunately didn’t get round to going again but I absolutely loved it. I don’t feel like it gets mentioned much but I think Anything Can Happen is one of the highlights of the show for me. I hope this show does come back to the West End eventually, I got used to it being a part of the Soho landscape.
I also think Charlie Stemp is rather handsome!

Was the show really not doing well enough to have kept it going longer. There's much love for this show. I'd love to have been there yesterday, having been at the early performances at the bristol Hippodrome nearly twenty years ago. The best flying I've seen was at the Manchester Palace - truly wonderful. Some fans loving the show on and online forum doesn’t mean the show was doing well. It wasn’t doing well enough.. that’s the point. They will send it back out on tour I’m sure.

The best flying I've seen was at the Manchester Palace - truly wonderful. Some midweek performances had been very quiet. Closing the balcony, moving everyone in the stalls forward so there was a decent amount of people in 1 place and not big patches of empty seats dotted around. There was also quite a few ticket offers around. I think my flatmate paid £30 and was sat in stalls row H or thereabouts.

To clarify/reassure, permission to discreetly record the final flight and curtain calls was granted by the theatre upon request. For any questions/requests about this please contact ceebee by PM rather than posting on the thread. Thank you.

A question for anyone who may know the answer… I went to see the 7:30pm performance on Tuesday 27th December and had been looking forward to seeing Mary fly over the audience, however it never happened! Does anyone know the reason for this? Still thoroughly enjoyed the show and am very sad to see it’s departure.

That specific evening no, but she flies on two tracks and there are times when the switch doesn't kick in to the one that takes her out and she just flies across the stage (I've never seen it but I've heard that its happening infrequently)

She flies onstage using a track- but in the auditorium she flies via (4 very visible) lines - not a track

Someone posted this same question on a Facebook group and the answer was it was due to technical difficulties. Nothing more sinister, but yes a shame not to see the flight. It's a magical part of the show.
