It’s a SOLT Affiliate venue. Yes, see it now. Interesting, because as might be mentioned in this thread earlier as well, they kept not showing up in that list, so the assumption was that they didn't pay the levy.

Maybe they realised there’s a high chance of the show being nominated and decided it is worth it for the longevity of the production. Would certainly help to transfer it across the pond if it had an Olivier Award attached.

Marisha Wallace entered the Celebrity Big Brother house last night... How can you enter the Celebrity big Brother House if you aren't a celebrity? She’s more of a celebrity to me than a lot of the other housemates who are only famous from other reality tv shows and famous relatives. I was at the launch last night - she got a very good reaction.

I went to see this for the first time last weekend. I adored it, and found the immersive staging incredible. I was blown away constantly, and had the time of my life. The staging is so unique (especially for a classic!) and full of life. This is how you reimagine a show (Disney, Cameron, take note!). And the Bridge theatre is such a wonderful venue.
The new cast was spectacular. Full of energy, confident, and genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. Timmika Ramsay was a terrific Adelaide, who sang Take Back your Mink as if there was no tomorrow. George Ioannides was a charming, delightful Sky Masterson. Jonathan Andrew Hume´s "Sit Down, You´re Rocking the Boat alone" was worth the ticket cost alone. Of course, he got a full standing ovation. And Celinde Schoenmaker has the most beautiful voice, which made for a lovely take on Sarah Brown.
I would go back every week if I could. We need more shows like this one, joyous and full of life; celebrating classic musical theatre while adding a modern spin to make it even better; and less "reimagined" cheap crap. Undoubtedly, I´m giving this five stars. Though I would give it six if I could. Transfer this to Broadway immediately!

According to the Bridge Theatre website...Guys & Dolls will be closing on August 31, 2024. I am coming to London in mid September 2024. Is there any chance that they will extend the show? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help. I'm not aware that they've said it is closing 31 August - I think that's just the current booking period, therefore it is feasible it could extend. Having said that, brilliant show though it is, some people might like to see the theatre revert to a more varied programme after this fantastic production has run its course. Personally, I could see it running to the end of the year.

Thanks for any help. I would be very surprised to see it close. New cast just on, one year anniversary and a gala press night for this coming Monday. In fact I would not be one bit surprised to see an extension announced imminently....

It's not selling all that well so...I don't think I'd be surprised to see it go after 18 months.
There's no stars in this second cast like there was with Danny Mays so like, there's no one to shove on telly for promo...

I hope the Bridge returns to its regular seasonal output. However, I’d have thought Giant, directed by Nicholas Hytner and developed by his company, wouldn’t need to be at the Royal Court (Sept to Nov) if Guys and Dolls ended in August?
Unless the James Corden/Hytner project comes to the Bridge straight after? Hytner also about to start filming Alan Bennett’s new film in May.

If these nominations came out just after it opened and the buzz was still fresh, it would be sweeping. I think Sunset will beat it for best revival and best actress now. It would've had a shot at those last year. Don't know what Daniel Mays is doing in there to be honest. Best Actor in a Musical? Christ.

Oh I thought Daniel Mays was the standout. Followed closely by Andrew Richardson, Celinde Schoenmaker and Marisha Wallace. He threw himself into the role of Nathan Detroit and was like a born again New York gambler. I'm sure people can point out his singing limits but whilst Marisha could stand and belt he brought the acting, comedy and to some extent singing in 'Sue Me'

Shocked Celinde Schoenmaker wasn't nominated. She was the best of the bunch for me.

So I'll admit, I am surprised that today's Bridge email didn't have an extension in it. 9 noms and a whole host of glowing reviews for the new cast from Monday night's gala. Maybe a case of seeing if sales get any sort of immediate bump before any possible announcement?
If anyone in the know has any hints.. I'd love to know if I should book another visit for what is the currently scheduled last day in August. Ta!

I saw the show from Stalls B 14 (Door E side)and felt like I was on the wrong side of the theater because o lot of it was staged with the actors back to us.
For those of you who have seen the show, is B 61 side (between doors B and C) better to see faces or is between Doors A and D better?
I'd like to see it again and feel as if I missed half the show the first time.
thanks
