Tough sell, it has ZERO recognition factor. Everybody here better get loud. Haven't see much evidence that they've been trying particularly hard to sell the show. If I weren't on mailing lists, I couldn't be sure I'd have heard it was happening.

Anyway, this is opening night in manc. Tough sell, it has ZERO recognition factor. My first reaction when I heard Hamilton was 'oh, this must be the Bring It On' guy. if you went out into the street of any town or city and said "tell me what you know about the musical Bring It On" do you really think people would make that connection?

About 200 each in Birmingham and Manchester by the looks of things.

Can't believe what they're charging for this! Rehearsals must've started now if it's going to open at the start of September...if there's no "names" it's definitely not going to sell. £53 for top tickets in Manchester, people just aren't going to be willing to take a punt on a show they've never heard of for that sort of money.

Are any of the cancelled Wonderland venues on the Bring It On Tour. The Producer may set up his business to reduce liability but he's had a front page dressing down in the stage, various unions are on his case and his activities can be investigated by a branch of BIS.

I'm going to see it in Birmingham as that is as close as it's coming to me but I can only go on a Saturday. The tickets are pretty much all £50 and not sure I want to see it that much!

Given that this is done by the same producer as Wonderland, is it going ahead?
Also, is there an official website? So far all I can find is ticket sales on ATG.

I'd be interested to see it as the original film was funny. I'm ATG card holder so will hopefully get a decent discount at Alex Birmingham - if production goes ahead.

Sales for this in my local theatre are looking dire. I'll be one of a small few in the audience at this rate, what a shame.

Am I the only one thinking its deluded to assume this tour is gonna go ahead?
Oki, maybe(!) it will start as planned, but if it makes it to December it will be a freakin' miracle with these ticket sales and especially with that nightmare producer.

Anyone living in Manchester, frequent the city enough to start passing the Palace on Sunday 3rd to see if the show loads in? I guess it'll follow most other shows and load in Sunday for 3 days tech dress.

I live round the corner. I can see the roof from my window but not street level. If I remember I'll walk round and have a snoop. What time do you think they would start?

But the theatre is dark the week before so theres potential to be in any number of days earlier, given its the first show of the run.

I would like to hope that if it is decided not to go ahead with the tour, an official announcement will be made earlier than 3 days before its supposed start. Not really hopeful now though: 3 weeks to go, not a word about the cast, no publicity whatsoever, not selling at all...

ATG have pulled some of the venues from their site. Wimbledon is now showing on the main listing but once you click through it says no performances found.

Manchester has gone the same way. I looked yesterday for the performance I have booked and the first row of the stalls (where I was due to be sat) was full, but there were barely a dozen seats in total sold elsewhere in the theatre. I can't remember a show at the Palace Theatre selling so badly (though in fairness I don't think Katie Price is taking her 'Audience With' tour there).
It's a shame if the tour has been cancelled as looks to be the case. Bring It On was one of the productions I was most looking forward to seeing this autumn, even if there has been almost an inevitability about its fate for a little while now.

This was one of the productions I was most looking forward to seeing this autumn so if the tour has been cancelled it's disappointing even if there has been almost an inevitability about its fate for a little while now. Can't even pull up the performance to view the map now. Website says "no performances found". I think we can safely assume it's off.

Thanks for posting the screenshot - that's exactly what I saw on the Wimbledon page and posted about. Not surprised.

Yep, the York leg on the ATG site also leads to the page of doom
