And the show continues to collect West End theatres like they’re Pokemon. Moving to the Apollo from May. Was there really nothing else that could have taken that slot?

It's a play that's done good business so no qualms with it moving, the alternative is a dark theatre throughout the summer.

Can't wait until 2025 when it's playing the Royal Albert Hall with Dick and Dom and Julie Goodyear.

Nothing from Chichester? Broadway? If no one has anything that can go in at short notice if something fall through then yes there is a chance the Apollo would have gone dark for months.

This was planned to move for a while. I guess they don’t announce too far in advance to stimulate sales for the existing run.

No objection to the show but I wish they could just go to one place and stay there!
Just when you hope something decent is going to get a prime West End theatre slot, this pops up again.

If 2:22 is selling well, why not move it for another season. I do think we forget that theatre is all about bums on seats.

I eventually saw it last Sunday and, yes, I only booked it because of Cheryl.
I enjoyed it and thought she was great.

Has anyone seen any offers for this for London?
I thought I might pop and see it as an extra show on a Sunday when I'm down but decent seats are fairly pricey.
Thanks:)

Hi, I do fancy trying to catch Cheryl in this. Can anyone tell me please without spoilers, if this is likely to be triggering or upsetting for someone recently bereaved?

This has GOT to have Dean Gaffney in it before it departs on its global tour (or maybe Barry from Eastenders aka Shaun Williamson)

Dean Gaffney is playing the Prince alongside Kerry Katona in the Easter panto tour of Rapunzel until June. Why do I know this?!
"Barry" would actually be a great shout though.

I saw this on the 15th April, and I quite enjoyed it! I saw the twist at the end coming in the first half, Cheryl I thought was fairly good. Obviously, it wasnt the most nuanced performance, but she was passable. Jake Wood and Louise Ford were outstanding!

Cheryl was surprisingly not awful, or maybe she seemed passable considering the other 3 actors were...passable.
Saw the twist coming literally ten minutes in - ALEXA ANYONE?! - so that was that.
Glad to have ticked it off, will never see it again.
