Pippin 50th Anniversary Concert - Theatre Royal Drury Lane

I would imagine they haven't announced more cast as this is about to get pulled 👀

No point in a band if there is only 1 performer.
They are really pushing it to the wire with casting if they want to shift tickets. Massive amount of seats left to sell and only 2.5 weeks until the concerts.

With most of the Stalls and Royal Circle priced at £129 or £103 before fees, it's hardly surprising this hasn't been a sell out smash. I would hesitate to pay that for a fully-staged production, let alone a concert with one name attached.

definitely not being pulled. more cast very soon.

Looks like we may get some casting announcement tomorrow if X is anything to go by.

Patti as Berthe

Sheila Hancock is...90 😂

So they moved the concerts in date and in venue (to April 29 & 30, and now playing at Theatre Royal Drury Lane): www.whatsonstage.com/news/pippin-anniversary-concert-moves-dates-and-announces-full-casting_1584201/

Oh whoever I'd heard from got the wrong end of the stick - they'd told me cancelled at the palladium but failed to mention moving to DL.

Had basically no interest in this as it's your usual folks (Lucie Jones, Cedric, a strallen etc) but Patricia Hodge as Berthe is...excellent casting, and it's be fun to see Alex.

Fingers crossed for offers.

Am I right in thinking Hodge was in the original London production?

Luckily the change of dates are OK for me as nothing booked as long as I get similar seats that I had booked for Palladium.
It's a great cast especially Jac Yarrow as Pippin. I think he will be excellent. I remember Patricia Hodge coming to the press night of Pippin at the Menier and being told she was in the original production.

Rehearsal…
