It needs to be moved or even ticketed.
Still make it open for all by having a big screen in Leicester Square or something showing it live as well.
I last went 3 years ago and it was madness, by the sounds of it both last year and now this year, it's got twice as bad.

What i don't really think is ideal is if you play merry hell because an actress has just lost her job (temporarily) due to a bit of stunt casting but in the next breath seem gleeful about the prospect of the entire show closing and thus tens of actors and creatives losing their jobs. I'm seeing a lot of this, especially on twitter.

They haven’t announced the theatre yet- because they don’t have one! Is Moulin Rouge still happening next year?

Wait judging by this most recent tweet it looks like it’s not coming until Winter 2020 now 🤔 .... unless by Winter 2020 they just mean Jan/Feb!? I’m confused 😆
the marketing department are obviously the same ones who look after Waitress!

There isn't really a reason they couldn't announce the theatre if it was The Piccadilly. The fact they haven't perhaps suggests it's a theatre that currently houses something that's not announced it's closure yet?

I can't see where there has been any confirmation?

There seems a lot of musicals that get a revival every year or two at some theatre or other around the country, there have been more productions of The Wizard of Oz, Joseph, Guys & Dolls and the like to shake a stick at, but what shows would you like to see given another life that haven't been seen for a while? Maybe i'ts a show that's just not been done for a few years you'd like to see again or maybe it's something that well and truly seems confined to the history books!

I'm sure he is a nice bloke and I dont doubt that he knows or is privy to certain bits of news and goss. I think that he lets himself down by how he presents it. There is a certain level of attention seeking to it and he could do with censoring himself. You dont have to make a big thing out of everything you hear or think you know, especially when it's not very plausible.

I'd like to know how this man became of this news. If this is a case of accidentally coming across that page or being tipped off about it by someone who found it, it's interesting to then make out you are 'exclusively announcing' a show.

I fully expect an announcement to say the tour is being pulled because they’ve sold 13 tickets. None of the general public will have heard of this show and the casting is just absymal. Ore ? Please. Isn't it entirely the reason that they have cast celebs like Ore and Jason because of the very fact it's not a well known show? People might not have heard about the show but they might thinking of going because of those two names. I don't think the public will find the casting abysmal. Quite the opposite.

Well so far with shows like Mean Girls and Pretty Women hotly tipped for transfers for months it's been a case of surprise ones coming out the blue recently. And wasn't The Savoy the theatre that was most linked to both those shows? What does that mean for them i wonder? I suppose there is room for one of them after SITPWG. Didn't Baz say autumn 2020 for Mean Girls? Which i suppose fits. Pretty Woman could take the Shaftesbury if & Juliet isn't a hit? I suppose but it's an unknown quantity at the moment. You's have thought these shows would be planning now and wanting to pencil in.

Am I right in thinking this has been in development for 7 years? Yes.

As mentioned in my 'review' the set consists of a back curtain and a few panels that slide on and off in various positions that are used for projections to set the locations and then props come on and off to aid that. There is a a concert stage that houses the band and that comes on from the back whenever there are concert performances in the story and at the end for the megamix and such. I was told this is the very same set as Broadway actually so it's not a case of no money being spent on a transfer. I saw this in NYC and it had more to it than that.. hence me commenting. Oh I guess I was told wrong then. They said it was the same. 🤔

I actually thought the nuns playing the instruments worked better than it sounds. It actually added a bit more fun to proceedings and worked very well in a lot of places. I didn't see the original but i have seen clips and pictures ect and theres no doubt the last tour was a lot more intimate and on a much smaller scale.
I would imagine that it would be the last touring version again. I don't mind seeing it again.

Is there any info on actual venues? Just the cities is a bit useless...

Seems Matt is well and truly in the theatre world now. There was a time after Memphis where it seemed he might not do a show again.

I don't know about Birmingham but i've not really known Curve do many discounts. Though they already have done some for certain groups such as under 25's and the like. Sometimes they do a kind of like day seat thing but only once or twice to my knowledge over the years.

Jamie Muscato and The Other Palace. Not two names that usually go together.
Oh wait.

I try not to read reviews before i see a show. It's hard to not see reviews at some point though when you are one of the people who run this board....

Any thoughts on a West End venue? When Ghost played the Opera House it transferred a month later to the Piccadilly, which would seem like a good sized venue for this too. I know they were originally planning on the Dominion but that would mean waiting until at least October 2020 to bring the transfer in. They want the Adelphi. Moulin Rouge is already booked into the Piccadilly ... this was only destined for the Dominion when Jamie Lloyd was directing. The current team only agreed to do it if it *didnt* go to the Dominion. I wish he was till directing. I'd be a lot more confident it will be good.

Less a prediction more a "this is coming"...
Just reading through the programme for On Your Feet and i notice that in the Bio for the produder Jamie Wilson Productions it says they are bringing a new production of Sister Act to London next year.
That is the same producer who did the Alexandra Burke sister act tour a few years ago but it says "brand new production of" so i don't know if it will be the same one or not.
