I saw this from the front row at Wimbledon last night. I'm so used to small scale productions touring, it was quite a treat to see the decent set and large cast. A pretty full theatre.
I haven't seen this show before as it was never on my "must see" list, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's likeable enough with some very enthusiastic audience members. As you'd expect, Joanne Clifton is a real treat. Excellent as always and such movement during the ballroom dancing scene. Scott Paige as well really holds everyone's attention as Uncle Fester.
With that said, I've no wish for a quick return visit, but I can see why people like this and the cast do all they can with the material.
Some of the cast got on the same bus as me after the show. The joys of showbusiness!

Papering for midweek in Dartford next week if anyone is interested? Indeed. I saw this last tour and wasn't impressed but for £6.50 giving it another go. Moves to Bromley the following week and they are less than 10 miles apart so might struggle there too. |

Wimbledon, then Dartford, then Bromley, all within the space of three weeks, is an odd order.
I too saw the “offer” for next week, but it’s just too soon for me to want to see this again.

Box office rarely open & online you can only book with a credit card not a debit one. I've tried complaining - to be ignored. |

That's odd, I don't even have a credit card and I regularly book shows at the Orchard and other HQ theatres with my visa debit card, last time only yesterday. |

I cannot see any business would bar debit cards but accept credit cards. Surely most people booking a theatre ticket online would use a debit card which is the same as using contactless in person ? |

From the Orchard Theatre website:
Accepted Payment Methods -
Credit and Debit Card (Visa, MasterCard and Maestro)
The Orchard Theatre Gift Vouchers
Theatre Tokens (via our Ticket Office, over the phone or in-person)
We do not accept American Express.
Sounds as if any problem is technical, maybe with a card provider, rather than policy.

Have you tried just paying normally by entering your debit card details? |

Visa's begin with 4, MasterCard's start with a 5. Double check you're clicking the right option for the type of card you're trying to use? I'm on their page now and I agree, it is very confusing. It does actually say though; "Please enter the information as it appears on your credit/debit card. The address you enter must match the billing address or the credit/debit card transaction may be declined." So it is clear a debit card should work on that screen... If that doesn't work, I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid, you'd have to give them a call! |

Just noticed I chose visa [ which my credit card that I don't want to use is ] & not mastercard which my debit card is. Many Thanks. |

One final thought having looked at their booking site - if inthenose's solution doesn't work - then try selecting the 'maestro card' option. Maestro was/is the precursor of a Mastercard debit card and it's being phased out completely - but I wonder whether they are actually using this as shorthand for debit card (a maestro card has never been a credit card so their labelling on the payment page is wrong). Maestro cards have always been a bit glitchy online which is one of the main reasons they are being replaced.
Fingers crossed that one way or the other something works!

Looks like the rest of the tour has been pulled. Message from Capital Theatres Edinburgh website:
"Due to the continued impact of the effects of Covid on our audiences and their willingness to return to the theatres, we have unfortunately had to take the decision to close the tour of The Addams Family earlier than planned. We apologise for any disappointment and inconvenience this might cause".

This is sad as it’s an enjoyable little show with some gems hidden amongst the mundane. Is it too soon since the last tour? The lack of CHF? The lack of Les Dennis? It has name recognition…stuff like this is normally lapped up?

It has name recognition…stuff like this is normally lapped up? From looking at Twitter it seems to only be the Edinburgh and Aberdeen dates that are affected rather than whole tour being called off. It was selling fairly well in Edinburgh anyway, so I'm guessing maybe high transport costs and lack of demand at other venues? |

With Eastbourne, Oxford, Aberdeen and Edinburgh off sale.
Would be great if ATG would communicate it with those who've booked, as I had booked for Oxford and haven't recieved anything from them yet.
