Jenna is amazing. I was actually really looking forward to seeing her in other roles. Good for the show to have her back.
I'm really happy for Daisy. She was supposed to make her west end debut with Cinderella before that got cancelled in such a bad way. Glad she finally gets that West End job and I'm sure more will follow.

Happy to see Jenna and Daisy returning to this show.
Also, I did predict Sedona Sky would go on to play Duke in the College Productions thread, so very excited to see how that pans out.
Likewise Esme, who I very much enjoyed on the I Have a Dream reality series.

Lots of names I recognise and like there, with a good mix of newcomers and people who know the show inside out. Perfect Kurt and Ram too. You've got Iván Fernández González, who covered those roles before, and Jason Battersby, who really commands the stage even in the background. Looking forward to this even more now!

I was excitedly waiting for the cast announcement and I'm very happy with it. Particularly to see May Tether and Lewis Asquith back again. Feels like a link to TOP 'home' of the show. Really hoping that May is cover Veronica, as I've never seen her do that.

A show that won't cast POC as any of the Heathers apart from Duke but will cast twinks as...jocks? Make it make sense.

Because no other shows have casting breakdowns?

Will additional dates for this tour still be announced does anyone know? Wondering about a Manchester date.

I guess I should use the tour thread, although the tour is also what was on at @sohoplace.
Nipped to Windsor tonight to see the show in the first tour venue. I doubt I’ll see this again now until Richmond unless work travel sends me in the right direction.
Windsor has been largely sold out all week, lots of people travelling from London. I managed to grab a seat that became available on the end of the front row. It may even be the same place I sat last tour. Perfect view. They chose a very keen Steve in front row centre.
This is one of those venues where the seats are numbered in the reverse direction to normal and there’s a rather hidden entrance to the front few rows. No one checked my ticket, but being sold out, it would be hard to sneak in and find an empty seat.
The show started about 20 minutes late due to technical difficulties (presumably lighting as they kept testing this). I got to Windsor in good time and was reminded how bizarre it is that they like to close all the shops by 5:30pm on a Friday.
Sound quality very good. The band are in the pit, so nice to see them. This gives a different feel to the sound to the venues where everyone is backstage. I think they’ve reduced the band size slightly from the last tour, but they do have a lot more spare capacity for actors. Only Bradley was missing.
Keenan very much in form in cute JD mode. I heard several people near me praising him.
The two dads swapped their usual roles for Dead Gay Son.
The stage size here and having everyone end on works nicely as a comparison to the more unusual @sohoplace layout.
I don’t know if anyone else has attended this week, but do report back. I’ll be interested to know how the rest of the tour goes as well and what kind of reception this gets outside the London area.

Sounds great. My daughter and niece are desperate to see the tour but no Manchester dates have been announced and I'm starting to think they won't be now.
Will have to try and get to Blackpool perhaps or somewhere else not too far. Last tour seemed to sell well in Manchester so I'm suprised it's not coming here.

Heathers has been to Manchester twice before. This tour is only small and mainly going to places the show hasn’t been yet. There’s no more dates to be announced.

I saw it opening night on Wednesday, there was a slight issue with the lights at the beginning of act 2.
It’s hard for me to ever be objective about this show. I’ve seen every cast so far, I was quite surprised it is touring again so quickly but this cast are great.

creakingstool It’s on at Storyhouse in Chester in September, possibly a bit nearer than Blackpool.
