What brilliant news. Was Matt Willis in the VHB ‘Flashdance’ tour or was that someone else?

Heard from ATG that my Wimbledon booking has actually been moved earlier. Quite a change from usual.
So, I'm now booked for Monday 6 September, which is the first night on sale. But the tour listing claims a first night of Saturday 4 September, so not sure what's going on there.

Unusual for a show to open on a Saturday night - perhaps a Press Night as the whole of rows AA, BB, CC, A and B are unavailable. I'm there on Tuesday 7th with my son and daughter - we got stalls front row AA. Guessing that's where you will be on Monday ? |

Maybe they’re keeping them off sale for some sort of competition / promotion... |

There was a live stream from Sara from The Hollywood Bowl that you can watch on Youtube. It has as a beautiful performance of She Used To Be Mine at about 20 minutes.

Tour rehearsals started today! I think I’ll finally feel like life is back to “normal” once the diner is back open again, I need my comfort show back. Could we change the thread name in preparation?  |

No but I'm curious if there's any discounts kicking about for this one yet. Looking at the Monday and less than a quarter of seats sold I'd guess.

The midweek matinee in Wimbledon is barely sold, so I can't bring myself to pay full price.... but id take a group if it discounted!

Barely anything sold for Manchester in November either, even on opening night where the ATG discount applies. I think for a lot of people this is another “My Best Friend’s Wedding” I.e pretty mediocre movie inexplicably turned into a musical. .

It’s such a shame this show has never taken off in the UK the same way it did across the pond. I’m sure it’ll enjoy a long and healthy life when the rights are released for AmDram.

A smaller theatre than many on the circuit, but it's sold quite well in Sheffield, with another five weeks still to go. Perhaps we'll just book for any old pap!
It's the mid-week matinees that haven't sold so well, and there are two of those for some reason!

London: “OMG this is that musical with that woman squeal squeal let’s go and see it OMG it’s fabulous let’s go again omg SHE’s in it now let’s go again” Manchester: “This looks sh*t, what film? Never heard of it” Sheffield: “Ey up lass does tha want to see this after t’ tea time bingo at t’ Top Rank? No idea what it is love summat to do wi’ mekkin’ buns. Ah’ll book us in its near that chippy we can go after” |

You have Alan Bennett's ear, BurlyBeaR. You really should give it him back! |
