Wonder what will replace it Another Jukebox show from across the pond. Oh no, really? Disappointing. I can't even think of one, maybe the Neil Diamond one? I was hoping for a good play to come back to Trafalgar. And it's odd to end a run on a Thursday!

To be fair, it's had a lot of success and a pretty decent run here in London. Firstly there was that huge run at the Prince Edward Theatre. Then it returned and Ben Joyce was discovered and it run for quite some time at the Trafalgar Studios. Maybe it's just time? Not forgetting e Piccadilly run. Well there you go. Maybe London has (just) had its fill of Jersey Boys for now. Give it a few years and then bring it back, fresh and reading for a new, upcoming and younger audience who may be familiar with the songs but have no idea who Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons were.

Are we finally going to get Jagged Little Pill that was rumoured for The Trafalgar last year?

2 and a half years is a pretty solid run, not sure if Jagged Little Pill will run that long if it indeed the replacement.

Kath & Stella Solve A Murder could be an option.

Wouldn't surprise me if A Beautiful Noise went in... a pity though I also think it will be A Beautiful Noise which is a bummer. Totally wishing it was Jagged Little Pill but that appears to be as dead as last Christmas Eve.

Wasn't The Cher Show looking to go into the WE?
Would be good timing seeing as she's got that Xmas album coming out and will probably do some promotional appearances soon.

'Beautiful Noise' makes great sense for that theatre, where it's able to contact previous patrons with 'If you liked Jersey Boys you'll love this...'

Maybe Baby One More Time is going to try it's luck in London in a smaller scale production.
Struggling to think of a jukebox show that didn't make it to Broadway

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. Wasn't that supposed to be coming here?

Who is that awful person WestendWoke2023 that plagues the cast with abusive tweets? What a hideous person. A disgruntled old cast member?

I was following them for a long time cos I heard that Ben Yates had been sacked and wanted the gossip, then unfollowed today, but they obviously have some really personal feelings over the show that they have to abuse everyone in it.

The picture is of an American journalist - the person behind the Twitter account is obviously just some sad, jealous person hiding behind a fake photo.

Just booked the last remaining front row stalls for the 4 January matinee, partly in the hope that there will be a bit of a muck up...
Slightly miffed to be charged the £3.50 transaction fee which when I book ATG tickets I don't usually pay. Possibly because it's a Trafalgar Entertainment venue ?

I’ve just found this account - looks like they have up when they realised they were getting zero interaction at all. Only two likes on all their posts. What a sad person.

Ryan Molloy did have an alternate though, it was Scott Monello. I'm not sure how many shows a week he had though. That was an excellent cast all round, I must book to see the new cast though. Scott did Monday nights and Saturday matinees. thought it was Tuesday… he understudied Joe Pesci track as well

Where is the original performer it much older than the Joe Pesci was at the time.
