In fairness, say under 35 year olds, there might be a higher percentage who haven't seen it. I've got friends late 20s/early 30s and always surprised at what they haven't seen (that you assume everyone has)

With Michael Harrison involved, it's not likely to go to somewhere like the Leicester Square Theatre.
My guess is somewhere like the Trafalgar,

Probably not, but then that's only going to be about 52 adults and a goat. OK, maybe my OH and I can get together with the other 50 adults then and go see something else (we'll leave the goat behind) Apparently the goat has seen it but didn't want anyone to know. I was over exaggerating obviously. I think you'll have needed to have seen it to 'get' this show.

It’s a really bonkers show. Loud, brash and in your face, and really stupid (in a good way). In terms of comedy style the most closely I can compare it to would be Police Cops Would it make any sense at all to someone who had not seen 'Titanic'? I honestly don’t think so. For me though, with Titanic being one of my favourite films of all time, and also being a huge Celine Dion fan, it was a perfect mashup.

TodayTix says that it's gonna be at the Park Theatre, off-West End.

Brilliant! Excellent spot. But what a strange choice of venue.

I'm not sure that Park was listed as an SOLT venue when I last checked but it certainly is now. solt.co.uk/solt-venues/

I'll be amazed if this is accurate.

Its not the right venue for it to have any kind of run - if it's park we get 12 weeks and done max

Will Hugh Jackman be in it as he's now not doing the Palladium Panto? Another rumour that went round these boards.

Being fair I think we saw where that rumour got confused as he's actually in a film reimagining of Robin Hood with Jodie Comer - I think someone just got their wires crossed/the wrong end of the stick.

I think the confusion arose because Hugh is understudying Dolly at The Palladium. They haven’t said anything because folks haven’t been told that Tuesday night is Imelda’s darts night (which Hugh is doing.)

Oh I hope this isn’t true, it really needs to be on central!

Erm, this has a theatre booked, and is fully financed. So….. It’s called a marketing strategy. Is it really the Park?

They just removed it. Now it says TBC.
The Park Theatre has a decent 200 seat venue space.
It's not gonna be the same show anyways, it was always bound to be changed for whatever space it was going, and more importantly for the audience it is playing to!
I believe it's been booked in for more than 12 weeks, wherever it is. And even after, it likely has a great touring life ahead of itself in smaller venues.

I don’t imagine it’s going to the Park at all.

Today Tixs also says it opens 16th April 2024. It didn't.

I think a venue the size of the Park is absolutely perfect, I think this would lose all it's charm in virtually any West End house. The Other Palace would be a wonderful venue for this.

The Other Palace would be great but would go against its aim (yes let’s go down ‘Heathers’ debate) as this show can be a long runner as it has been at the Daryl Roth in Union Square so whilst it could start there, it should be in a venue where it can run a long time (provided it has the same success here). The Arts would be perfect but they have found their hit, Choir of Man, & that would have to close so it does come down too, where does this show go?!

This is why we need more centrally located 200 - 300 seat theatres.

Oh absolutely, TOP is a terrible choice mission-wise, just perfect auditorium for it... feels like we have lots of fantastic 100 seat venues and lots of fantastic 1000+ venues, but very few in that sweet spot like the Arts and TOP (that would be commercially appealing to this show, at least)

Looks like it could've been placeholder text then. I do wonder where it will go.

@sohoplace in its thrust capacity offers the intimacy Titanique would need.
