If the show isn't doing that great, why are there no discounts? I went on The Monkey's site and if there is a discount, it would be on his site and nothing is listed.
They may be papering but I'd think they'd want some money for seats and thus discounting gives them some money while papering gives them nothing.
hmmmm

Absolutely gutted they cut Lady’s Paying! I feel there needs to be a picket line outside of the theater, voicing our concerns about the ladies paying, and the reprise Beauty is Worth A Little Suffering. I think we should all go out with signs, turbans, and caftans.

I love Sunset Blvd and am excited about this production but the logo and merch are BAD...there is no design or imagination. A random black item of clothes with red Sunset Blvd in Arial text isn't my idea of creative or clever. It is BORNING

Do we think this is going to extend or will it close in November? Any thoughts?

They'll probably bring over Reva Rice who created Pearl to play Mama, a role she is playing in Bochum.
And I am sure Ashley is gone sadly....what is the name of the train who replaced the smoking car?

When is the official opening? And is there an extension built in? There aren't any other shows announced to play Soho Place afterwards...

Josh seems to miss a lot of performances. Chris does Mondays, I know, but he seems to be on a lot of other performances as well.

I vote for Maria Friedman to come in and save the day but she'll be in rehearsals for Merrily on Broadway.
Maybe Rosie Ashe?

There are 52 people in the cast. They all do need to be paid.... Of course. But that doesn't change the fact it is still disgustingly elitist, even more so considering it's ostensibly a family show. I understand that of course, but there are cheaper options if you don't want to get the best seats, right? And the NT does a day seat scheme too I believe. But a family of 4 to come into the city, see a show, and have dinner could run high. Totally hear you....

Bloody hell, just checked the prices. The only family that can afford this is the Royal one, eighty six quid for a decent ticket! There are 52 people in the cast. They all do need to be paid....

i heard the only thing of value in the Chicago version was Javier Muñoz....i wonder if they will keep him?
Hannah is a splendid choice though and if she (and her agent) are smart, she'll have Broadway written into her contract. (Well it didn't work all that well for Patti, but she did end up getting a pool out of it lol)

I know this is a small theatre but will they be able to do the show justice? And is this being looked at as pre-West End/ Will this be a West End caliber cast?
Considering going by train to Manchester for the day but thats about 2.5 hours each way so want to see if it is worth it?

That would be great. Thanks!! Just skip past my posts darling if they trouble you so much. Funny how you’re quick to discuss Hannah when it’s revealed she’s leading this. Which way do you want it? Why are people coming for Mr. B? I always find him a wealth of knowledge, info, and fun.... Don't take this board too seriously. It's theatre darlings....

Is this a strictly limited run or is there a chance it will be extended if it does well?

Haydn Gwynn? Catherine Zeta Jones? Haydn Gwynn is an inspired idea!

I know Jean Valjean is off on Mondays in Les Miz...Does Javert have a scheduled show off? Which other roles have a show or two off each week? Christine in Phantom, of course...which others?

Okay but those of you complaining about Self Esteem (and Madison, Aimie and Maude) having 1 show off a week are probably the same people who complained about Jessie never being on. They can’t win! If the producers have decided that giving Sally one show off a week leads to better vocal health and more consistent attendance, I think that’s a good decision. Sally’s not as vocally challenging as Evita or Kim etc. but she really “goes there” during the title number in this production, and having that one night off a week probably allows the performer to really let go even more. I see no problem at all with giving actors shows off per week, as long as they note it in advance.

Why are people giving so much slack to the stunt casting of this? I don't think it's stunt casting if they can act and sing the parts. It's only stunt casting (like in Chicago) when they would get a tv star who can't sing, dance or act for the lead role. (Melanie Griffith, Jerry Springer, George Hamilton). Jake did Kinky Boots on Broadway and we know that thye both can sing. I will reseve my judgement until I can see them perform.

I think this was the show that was aiming to go the the Prince Edward after Ain't Too Proud, because because of the aforementioned rights issues, it didn't.

Is the Jamie Lloyd Evita that was at the Barbican going to Broadway or another version?
