Grrrrr - I really hoped this might be able to go ahead. Not till August and a small non congested theatre.
Ahhh well not a big surprise I guess.
Do hope it does indeed come off in November though :-)

Do hope it does indeed come off in November though :-) It's very congested there! Everyone waiting in the bar to be called in, then seats which are pretty close together ( although to be fair I don't know what their new seats will be like). I had little expectation of them being able to open in August

So we were able to spread out and it felt spacious but without losing atmosphere. Guess Rent will be bigger box office.

Dates I was initially offered didn't suit so contacted them and changed to a Saturday night performance. They even called me for card details instead of me emailing them. Very impressed with the service from them.

Great customer service from the Hope Mill team in rearranging my ticket. Similar to tysilio2 I was offered some initial dates close to my original booking but I couldn't do them as they were mid-week performances rather than a weekend date. A quick email to HM and got changed to a Saturday matinee whilst still being able to keep my front row seat.

Another hands up for the positive Hope Mill exchange experience.
Lovely exchange of e-mails over 24 hours with a charming lady who re-booked my tickets for a convenient date.
These little things breed tremendous good will and good feeling - although I already knew they are a lovely theatre.

Unless ur buying tickets just to support them I wouldn’t bother - they said in an interview with (I think) the bbc in April that if everything wasn’t open again by June they would be out of business........

Well, was just an exchange as had already forked out for August. Wouldn't ask Hope Mill for a refund (unlike ATG lol) and very much hope they'll pull through! But certainly they must be in a precarious position. Bizarrely, have since found out that the lovely lady who was e-mailing me was none other than Jim McDonalds fake Aussie daughter from Corrie lol!

Unlikely going to happen. How are they going to afford the cost of paying everybody, when they say they are struggling to survive.
Its a big show and you cant do it on the cheap! I am sure the cast wont be doing it for free? or will they???

How they got the picture for the poster. I'm a bit 'meh' about it myself. I find it too similar to the images used for Evita at Regent's Park /

Confirmed as going ahead with 50 per cent capacity which should make it even more intimate. Had to change my tickets as run is now shorter and ends on 6 Dec. Should be good though and my first theatre trip back at my favourite venue. Fingers crossed

Is there a way to choose your seat for this? I saw an option of buying a membership but I'm not sure if it works for this production because of social distancing etc.

Anyone able to tell me what the parking situation at Hope Mill is like please? On their site it says there's a small car park but I can't find it on Google Maps.

This is an impressive cast & creative team and I was unable to resist its pull. It’ll be a nice pre-Christmas treat. I could hear Dom HH sing ‘I’ll Cover You’ all the way through his ‘One Last Time’ in Hamilton and now my wish came true. Plus the added bonus of whatever Luke Sheppard does with it.
