From the Barbican. Interesting! Wonder if it will make more shows viable
Thank you for booking some time ago to attend one of our 2021 Live From the Barbican concerts. We’re really looking forward to welcoming audiences back in to the Barbican Hall for live music from late May.
Since these concerts originally went on sale, the government guidance on social distancing for venues like ours has been updated; we originally had seating bubbles arranged for social distancing at 2 metres but have now been advised that we can adjust to distancing at 1 metre.

ATG have suspended performances until 26th June. Especially annoying as I just this morning booked train tickets for the shows!

The replies to those tweets make for some depressing reading. But they do prove why its so important to keep those idiots out. I’m all for it.

I’m actually very pleased to read that the trial of the Brit awards won’t require masks indoors. If you satisfy the vaccination or negative test criteria, then it shows there is confidence that they aren’t needed. I’m all for it, but as mentioned before, not with that continued need for mask wearing as well.
There is also the question of whether home lateral flow tests will be valid for this purpose. I know for the pilot in Liverpool people will have to go to a testing centre for it. I’m doing them every 3 days, wouldn’t make sense to have to go to a test centre for another one to be able to go to an event.

I'm rather concerned it's going to be an audience of key workers though! I understand the idea to give them a reward for all they've been doing (some of those cheap seat offers were for key workers pre-covid), but if it goes wrong, that's a lot of key workers potentially getting infected and ill in the capital city! |

We have to start trusting vaccines and testing though when the case rates are now extremely low. Key worker is a very loose term, even I am able to apply due to the job I do (but can’t because typically, I’m working). It’s still only going to be at a quarter or so capacity. |

John Godber leads the way, yet again, with an outdoors Moby Dick on the left bank of the River Hull. 2 to 12 June.
His Dick also coincides perfectly with the world premiere in Scarborough, obvs, of The Girl Next Door, Alan Ayckbourn's 85th full-length play. 4 June to 3 July.
As always, Yorkshire's the place to be!

I'm starting to look into buying tickets for stuff again and I can tell you the thought of actually paying out all that money again is bringing me out in hives!

Most of this past year we've had no cinemas and Peter Rabbit 2 is what they are welcoming us back with. Even just bringing back Tenet or something would tempt me in. |

I worked in a cinema for many years including when Peter Rabbit 1 was released. It was probably one the busiest films we showed, even in the evenings! I can see why it will be one of the first to welcome audiences back to the big screen! |

It's a no-brainer - parents will be desperate for something to do with their kids that doesn't involve them standing freezing in a park! |

It's a no-brainer - parents will be desperate for something to do with their kids that doesn't involve them standing freezing in a park! Aye but ONLY Peter Rabbit 2? That's it? In the last 12 months, there has only been one film? I understand why Disney/Marvel would hold back so they can make money more quickly in June when people are more comfortable, but why not Nomadland or Judas and the Black Messiah or The Father or the Snyder cut of Justice League, or sticking Ma Rainey's or Tenet back in. Nah, let's have 30 screens showing Peter Rabbit 2. EDIT: It's not even like those films aren't available to screen. The Prince Charles on Leicester Sq is showing Judas and the Black Messiah, Nomadland, Sound of Metal, Minari, all from the 17th. So why can't the Vues of this world do it? |

I'm starting to look into buying tickets for stuff again and I can tell you the thought of actually paying out all that money again is bringing me out in hives! I've already booked a fair number of shows at current prices but I think there will be plenty of discounts and seat filling opportunities in the next few months, especially when social distancing requirements are removed. The closure of the TKTS Booth in Leicester Square and their move to online selling will disappoint many visitors but is likely to increase on-the-day discounted tickets availability. I've signed up to their newsletter. I intend to be on standby most weekdays ready to grab a bargain or fill a seat and head off to London (hour in the train) for a musical as often as possible. |

I work for Picturehouse and our first two weeks back are the same as The Prince Charles, so I'd imagine other chains will also be screening these in some capacity alongside Peter Rabbit in the big screens. |

My 7 year old has already asked if we can book tickets when Peter Rabbit 2 opens... mind you they also have Six, Phantom and Hairspray on their “as soon as it opens” list 🙂 |
