Better than Thriller is just about the only thing Heathers has got going for it. And I’m not even sure that it IS better than Thriller, which I quite enjoyed.

With the Heathers extension, it should give Freddie King a chance to make up some lost time which will be good. Millennials sounds interesting and it seems to have some starry fans from what I can see on Twitter. My hope is still to see Cilla brought to London and this seems to offer the best chance. New material though of course should still be the priority though of course

Cilla seems a bit old skewing for somewhere the Other Palace but if they got Sheridan Smith to do a limited run, it would sell very well.

Freddie has been suspended. Wait, what?!? Huh??? Due to his consistent absence he has been suspended from Heathers. Jacob is permanent Jd for the time being but will leave due to his band commitments. Official statements should be coming later tonight.

Official statements should be coming later tonight. Yikes! I was so excited for him after seeing him in previous work but was getting worried the continued absence would impact him in the future. With the show now extending till May, I thought he would be able to come back to do a proper run. He seems to be genuinely sick though - I can't imagine him voluntarily missing shows without good reason

The push for membership renewal has begun. Pre covid I wouldnt have hesitated to renew, as I see every main house production at least once. Don’t see anything in the studio however. The question is, will it be worth me renewing if heathers just keeps extending?

I had a spare five minutes, so I've just been reading the latest LW Theatres accounts. What a glamorous life I lead!
The very last item, on the very last page, is the sale price of The Other Palace. Andy sold it to Bill for £5.5 million.

With Heathers only booking until mid February and no announcement of another extension (yet), I wonder what is next planned for the main house.

Nothing to back this up but just have a feeling that Emojiland might make an appearance here at some point.

When Heathers closes, they’ll announce it well in advance and bill it as a final extension. It is very successful, even with discounting. I can’t imagine any producers who will looking to replace Heathers any time soon.

I think 'lost forever' is a bit dramatic... if a successful musical is bringing in punters there then it's a better state of play than a lot of previous programming... and the studio has been programming a lot of brand-new musicals (and MTFest) that could then make the leap to the main stage in time.

With the closing of Heathers seems a good time to resurrect this thread!

I believe Heathers is the only thing to play in the main theatre since Bill Kenwright bought it?
I wonder he has got that he thinks will make more money? Is anything from the studio of the turbine ready to step up?

Wonder if Halls might make the move over eventually. Always hope for the Prom to finally get a production, and wonder if Empjiland has a shout after its concert. Maybe Cake gets a future life after it’s your earlier this year?

I've noticed that there is nothing announced for the studio theatre there after September 3rd. (Same day Heather's closing) Do they normally only announce a couple of months of Studio shows? Hoping it doesn't mean theatre will be dark for a extended period?

Ride the Cyclone? BatBoy? Those seem like fits for the Heathers crowd.

Assuming it won’t be Cake now as that’s just announced a week at the lyric theatre
