Well, that was a surprise - relatively painless. Got my favourite circle seats for £47.50 each, fairly reasonable I thought. Pricing looks to go up to £65 with the only pricing above that being for the 'Ambassador Experience' stuff. They've got restricted view seats going for as little as £13 too.

Very proud daughter today, my mam booked the tickets to see this in Sunderland without even being asked. Restricted view in the dress circle slips for £20 at a Saturday matinee.

Other way around here, I booked for me and my Mum. I wonder if I could get some sort of filming dispensation to record her face during Hasa Diga Eebowai?

I’m taking my mum too! And my dad, who isn’t a musicals fan at all and I can’t wait to see his reaction to this...
We got back of the stalls at Sunderland Empire for £48, bit pricey for my liking but at least we’re there.

This is very much an international tour by now, also going to the Netherlands (Amsterdam), Switzerland (Zürich) and Denmark (Aarhus).
I had anticipated an announcement for Germany for a while now. As it‘s co-produced by BB Promotion here, I expect it to come to Cologne and the Musical Dome here, much like the UK Tour of Miss Saigon that was just here. Very excited too, that‘s at least one big musical hit of recent years Stage Entertainment can‘t ruin with their mix of awful translations, questionable casting and ludicrous prices.

It looks like they're going the initial Mamma Mia type of route with this tour

Mormons at my doorstep confirmed - just two weeks in Cologne in November, which doesn't strike me as much, but perhaps they want to test the waters and see how this will be selling at all.

Shouldn't we have a casting announcement soon? Or at least some leaks/hints?

Just had a look at tickets for Manchester and there are seats going for £25 (both stalls and upper circles) if anyone is still wanting to go. Just booked a stalls seat at that price.

Amsterdam has now announced the cast for "their" leg of the tour, so I assume it will be the same cast for Manchester and the other international tour stops.
The leads are Kevin Clay (Price), Conner Peirson (Cunningham), Nicole-Lily Baisden (Nabulungi), William Hawksworth (McKinley), Ewen Cummns (Mafala), Johnathan Tweedie (Joseph Smith) and Thomas Vernal (General)
Ensemble: Sanchia Amber Clarke, Jed Berry, David Brewis, Melissa Brown-Taylor, Chinasa, Tre Copeland-Williams, George Crawford, Jordan Lee Davies, Jemal Felix, Patrick George, Isaac Hesketh, M-Jae Cleopatra Isaac, Evan James, Alex James-Hatton, Nicole Louise, Fergal McGoff, Jesus Reyes Ortiz, Lawrence Rowe, Lukin Simmonds, Chomba S Taulo, Brad Veitch, Tommy Wade-Smith, Sharon Wattis, Jacob Yarlett.

The rest of the cast are mostly British.

I’ve just booked for Sunderland today, perfect timing that the cast is announced at the same time!
I actually managed to get a good deal on tickets which is rare for the Empire. £13 at the back of the stalls, which didn’t seem so bad.

The rest of the cast are mostly British. I was surprised too. I've seen both Conner and Kevin a few times and they're excellent, and I knew they weren't done when they left Broadway and the tour earlier this year — until I heard a rumor about this last week, though, I didn't expect their last gig to be the UK/international tour!

The Walloons may have to say a thing or several about that Interestingly the Amsterdam run, despite being a month long, has been selling very well with some performances nearly sold out and an additional week of performances just announced. Meanwhile the Cologne run, despite being less than half as long (10 days) hasn't been selling out at all with lots of availability. I sometimes despair of my countrymen. Give them vampires or oversized animatronic apes and they go nuts...

A friend of a friend once pitched ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ the musical to Sigourney Weaver at the Empire awards, going into ridiculous detail about a gorilla kick line etc. Apparently she was bemused but very sweet about it. Did you go and see King Kong?

Has this announced any dates in January yet? I think it may be in the big gap in January at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh. They announced their new season today but with a big long gap between the ballet at Christmas and another production.
That slot has been reserved for the big musicals as of late. We had Miss Saigon in 2018, and then Les Mis this year.
