Is that likely to be it for tickets or will there be a few more released as time goes by?
Only just heard about this as was at work and obviously last show sold out when I checked just now!

If they do as they did for reopening night then they will sell the standing places as well, but not sure if that will be on the day. They didn't seem to be holding many tickets back, if any.

There will be the front row day seats on the day too, although I suspect people might queue up very early for them.
I got very lucky - I came through to my computer for something else less than 5 mins after it was announced, so got straight onto the ATG site before the dates had been loaded anywhere else and picked up row A for both shows with no fuss.

Watch out for dubious marketing email from "From The Box Office" which invites you to see the final performance on 7 January. The calendar link takes you to a booking screen for Sat 7 Jan but neglects to tell you its the matinee rather than the final evening performance. Don't get duped by dodgy marketing.

Well… 16th times the charm! Show was on fire tonight. Took a friend for the first time and she absolutely loved it. The audience reaction was brilliant (full house in the stalls!). Glad to see this show enjoying great success - I’m sure there will be a big rush in the final few months to see it.

The Bath production is too big - it needs wing space that the Phoenix doesn't have

Not sure if I'm honest, I'd assumed Phoenix too before seeing it yesterday, but everything is on trucks in the wings and nothing was flown up so it requires a heck of a wing space which the Phoenix just doesn't have

I think ITW may still fit. Whilst Bath is deeper, Phoenix does still have the width. ITW isn't that deep a stage, 'rear' projection is still technically possible (whilst allowing for active set storage) and almost half of it is played out on the thrust over the pit. They can also create additional wing space with the forced perspective of the 'Pollocks' prosc which I think may well be the plan if they intend to use the existing scrims.
| TR Bath | Phoenix | Width | 14.3m | 19.8m | Depth | 13m | 9.1m | Pros Width | 8.35m | 9.45m | Pros Height | 7.7m | 7.6m |

The Phoenix was able to take the transfer of Guys and Dolls from the Savoy a few years back so it's not that small.

Huh! Well done for digging that out og - I was sure it was smaller than that. Maybe it will fit after all...be nice for into the woods to get to come home!

I think having the ‘giants in the sky’ is the only viable option, in fact they could probably sky lots of the bigger set pieces. They’ll find a way I’m sure.

Anyone know if the last performance of Come From Away is sold out or still to go on sale?
They seem to have disappeared from the website as soon as the closing date was announced.

The closing performance sold out when they put it on sale (when they announced the final extension). Worth checking back for returns.

I love info like this - thank you! Are there any books with such details for other theatres? Thanks again!

Not to my knowledge, although there are probably a few excel spreadsheets belonging to PMs and techies who've done the rounds enough times to know theres merit in keeping track. Old faithful Google here provided Bath's tech spec directly and Phoenix dimensions were listed on the Arthur Lloyd page (which I then converted from imperial to metric).
I also think if the proddy team on Woods had put a pencil on the Phoenix, knowing the scale of the production they wouldn't have done so without making sure it would fit first. They'd have known months in advance of the run in Bath what they had to fit in to make sure they could shoehorn it all in first.

Theatrefan has a rumour that CFA is set to tour in 2023
Which makes sense, it should pack up and travel quite easily!
I do love this show, it’ll be nice if more people get to see it.

Fingers crossed, I know a few people who would love to see it but can't get to London.

It baffles me how this show is closing after only a 2 year run.
Why has it never caught on here do people think?

I think that 2 years is a decent enough run.
It isn’t flashy, has no special effects and gets by entirely on its charm and the strength of the material. It doesn’t help itself by not having an interval, so no bar sales to support the box office.

But Dear Evan Hansen in actuality isn't very good, it was all hype. This is actually a great show. I didn't say it was a failure, I am just shocked that such a great show hasn't caught on.

None of my friends or family have heard of CFA to be honest, or perhaps might have seen a poster on the tube but it doesn’t really sell itself very well, unless you’ve seen it and know how brilliant it is, or are convinced enough by someone you know who loves it! I’ve not found it an easy one to entice non-regular-theatre-goers to.

It may do better on tour as people can try it locally on their doorstep without the cost and hassle of a London trip. Especially if it prices itself reasonably
