I hate this drip feeding of cast announcements.
Just flaming publicise who is in the cast.
It’s really not creating suspense - it’s just annoying. Why this trend?!

Lovely to see a few of the Anything Goes sailors in this - hoping for a lovely big tap number for Too Darn Hot!

Would anyone else be interested in seeing Charlie Stemp in NOT another old-timey musical? He's a sensational triple threat no doubt, but I'd love to see how he would get on in something more contemporary.

And, I'm sure he'll smash this role too. But, it would be nice to see how he fares in the more contemporary scores. |

Just noticed that seats D1, D2, D37 and D38 in Stalls have been reduced to £25 for June. Just got mine. They go up to £79.50 in July.

For anyone like me fortunate enough to be under 25, there's £10 Young Barbican tickets for this 4th to 28th June.

I was on the fence about seeing this because of Adrian Dunbar but I just got what would usually be an £85 central stalls ticket in the third row for £10 with young Barbican (thanks for the reminder that it's a thing though I really wasn't expecting such expensive tickets to be covered as well!) so I bit the bullet. Hopefully everyone else is so good that it makes up for any of Dunbar's potential shortcomings.

I´m going towards the end of the run. This London trip will be pretty expensive, so I´d ideally not pay too much for a ticket. Should I get the cheapest seats now (central gallery), or wait for offers? One doesn´t know these days...

Looking at availability for June post Press Night the producers must be very worried. Can’t decide whether to buy now or wait for even bigger discounts than the current ones. Barbican shows tend not to close early so they might be giving tickets away by the end.

Barbican shows tend not to close early so they might be giving tickets away by the end. I was just thinking the same thing. That unless booking picks up dramatically after Press Night/reviews I'm sure this will end up on Rush tickets. I definitely want to see it, but haven't booked yet, so perhaps it's the price putting people off. Or the venue. Trecking to The Barbican isn't as appealing as West End for a lot of folk. |

It's a sensible venue for a production of Kiss Me Kate, but they're definitely having an Anything Goes 22 rather than Anything Goes 21 in terms of sales.
I'm looking forward to it, and will go multiple times I'm sure as lots of the casting is excellent and it's a super solid creative team.

I saw a great production at the Victoria theatre ages ago. Lots of fun*.
Then I saw a terrible production by Opera North at ENO and left at the interval.
Unsure about this one. I'd like to see S J Block in person, but the shows I've seen by the director are not that good.
I don't think I've ever watched anything with A Durban so don't have an opinion, but can't stand C Stemp, so that's a huge con. So unless reviews are great and ticket prices cheap, I'll give it a pass.
*I corrected myself. I thought it was by Susan Stroman but the coreography was by Kathleen Marshall, directed by Michael Blackmore.

For how high the ticket prices are, I was expecting so much more. It´s giving boring, indeed! |

For how high the ticket prices are, I was expecting so much more. It´s giving boring, indeed! We're only seeing one scene in that clip (a scene set backstage at that), and there's a revolve so I can expect it'll be more exciting than a tiny teaser trailer suggests. I will see this, even if I'm not too keen on Kiss Me, Kate as a musical; I saw the Chichester production with Hannah Waddingham and thought it was fine, but not much more. As for Bartlett Sher, I hated his production of South Pacific at the Barbican with a genuine passion. I still remember standing on Barbican tube platform afterwards, ranting to myself about it! However, his production of The King and I at Lincoln Center is one of the finest productions of a musical I have ever seen. (I subsequently saw the recent UK tour which was good, though not a patch on seeing Kelli O'Hara on the Lincoln Center stage). And his production of My Fair Lady, which I saw at the Coliseum, was also well-crafted. |
