Is GGareth GGates playing a high school student in this? Or the vicar? Because that’s a stretch 😂

So the Karen Bruce version of this was sensational. Such a feel good show and the dancing was just off the scale.
Sadly the more recent actor-muso version was cheap cheap cheap; made Kenwright look lavish. (Think was Sella Door? Never quite sure why people rave about them so much as in terms of cash thrown about they really are no better than Uncle Bill). Assume this is that same production?
Anyway, a great score and a show with heart that even on the cheap is still enjoyable. And coming to my local in Brighton so have booked. Another one of these Stalls ATG 'price promise' 13 quid seats. Does all seem to be good to be true! Does anyone know if we are deffo entitled to these 13 quid things and it's not an ATG system error lol?!?!

Yep, I have several sat on my pinboard awaiting use for Heathers, Mamma Mia & Mormon. If its stuff you’ve seen before I think its a great way of filling the house without openly discounting.

A little unkind, perhaps danbI thought this was a well established fact? My lack of kindness that is.

Oh dear. This isn't very inspiring. Looks like it going to be the awful actor/musician production like last time.

I'm sure it's nothing Paul Mathew's haven't encountered before (is that a double negative?), but Barnstaple to Sunderland, and Aberdeen to Brighton, are, I imagine, quite challenging journeys, especially with opening nights being on a Monday, rather than Tuesday. Oh it wouldn't have been a problem for us, we would have got it there by about 9 am ready for a ten am get in

This performance in Wimbledon is one I did get an email from ATG about 2 or 3 weeks ago saying it would be rescheduled. A change from the usual voucher. Quite a few shows waiting to be rescheduled. Lucky I'm very trusting.

The things you learn from checking your ATG account. Apparently, I am now seeing this at Wimbledon on 8 March 2021. But no sign of this new date on the venue page.
That along with two gift vouchers for cancellations I wasn't aware of, as well as some other shows just having disappeared off my Upcoming Shows page without notification, which I've no idea if that means they've been cancelled, postponed or what.

I have just noticed the same. 2 vouchers have appeared and one forthcoming show has disappeared although no voucher issued. I tried calling them earlier but gave up. For such a large company they really do have such bad service and systems.

I saw this once on the original tour with Chris Jarvis & Cassidy Janson, including Karen Bruce’s assistants’ excellent choreo. It was still pretty ordinary. I remember CJ singing the living heck out of ‘Holding Out For a Hero’ and maybe a Nolan?

Are ATG being the usual ATG? In Doncaster, which follows Birmingham on the schedule, the advertising has Jake Quickenden as Willard.

The cast have been doing a Q&A session on the Manchester Opera House Instagram stories and one of them confirmed this is the actor/musician version again.

The last tour was the one where Maureen Nolan demonstrated the art of acting through the method of “cardi tugging”. The emotion in that cardi had to be seen to be believed.

The best version I saw was with Rachel Wooding as the female lead. I cannot recall if CJ was in that cast but I seem to remember her being in a production of that I saw.

So in the middle of act 2 about 10pm, cue the sound of flip seats thumping and exit doors squeaking as people leave for their buses…
