I have from two very good sources that the tour will not use the revolve

Leeds also have the same tweet. I was giving up hope of it coming near me, as four closer venues aren't saying anything yet ... I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings!

Hardly surprising - it’d be too complex to be setting up at each venue I would assume.
It’ll definitely impact how they perform Stop The World, and Costume Party too, but I’m sure new choreo(chairo)graphy will mean it isn’t missed too much.

Chichesters South Pacific toured with a revolve. It's perfectly doable.

Little Scottish show 'Orphans' also toured with a revolve.
That did a lot of smaller venues as well. Must've been a hassle but shows its plausible.

Do you have the Mayflower dates please? 17-20 April 2024 but that seems a little light on dates Thank you! That is a short run, but it’s a much bigger venue (2,000+) than some of the others mentioned/rumoured, so perhaps that means they’ll only do one week in Southampton rather than two or more in others. Nevertheless it does feel ‘light’ for the first national tour of a West End hit.

I'd have thought a week run in most venues would be about right. It might be a night short or two short of the usual Monday or Tuesday start but I'd have been surprises if it did longer than a week in most venues.

It took a while to take off in London but once word of mouth was out there it found its tribe. I’d expect Tues-Sat runs, possibly with two two midweek mats.

Those Mayflower dates are just Weds to Sat, but of course we’re awaiting the official announcement, and they could also add the Tuesday night ‘due to demand’ if initial sales are sufficient to justify it.

Yes but that's still no unheard of for the mayflower, or other venues. Honestly I don't see anything unusual about these dates.

Having said that, with cost of living issues etc and it being a big venue vs a lot of theatres, they often don’t sell the balcony - so perhaps the producers are making the sensible decision to do less nights.

Come from away is a pretty small show, and more like a play really. Smaller shows often have done Wednesday to Saturday at mayflower. It's also not a well known show so 5 or 6 shows over the week in such a large theatre makes sense. As much as its loved by theatre fans, the more casual theatregoer won't have heard of it.

I’d suggest a show that ran for around 3.5 years in the West End, is almost universally loved by all who saw it, and is doing it’s first national tour IS a big show, but as long as I get to see it at least once whilst it’s down the road from me I shall be happy!

As we thought, one week in the smaller cities, two weeks in the larger ones. Just so pleased I’ll get to see this amazing show again next spring!

What are the atg prices like? I’m not a cardholder so won’t be blessed with the intel til tmrw. New Theatre Oxford - £13 to £62.50 (non package seats) on the Saturday, top prices £2-3 cheaper mid-week. Similar opening night discount as at Liverpool. Milton Keynes much the same.
