Fiddler on the Roof, Chichester, Summer 2017

She said 'unimaginative' but still gave it three stars. That's definitely the least appreciative review to come out so far but she does use the word 'samey' which is irritating, so I feel like we should just ignore this one.  

And she used to write for the Brighton Argus. Shudder.

No, we most certainly do not!! No more than twice a week anyway. I'd have preferred Portslade to have been the border. 

Saw this on Tuesday evening. I have seen this musical many times before it being one of my favourite scores. To be honest I have heard it sung better but overall it was very enjoyable. They have added a few different touches which is good to see and it was a completely full house.

An excellent production Well staged and sung Omid Djalili gives a fully rounded sensitive performance. Beautiful harmonies from the talented ensemble ..

Oh poo, I always do! We'll be pushing our luck to make the second show in that case.

Sorry to hear (well read) that. And I think Fiddler runs for 3 hours.

So pleased to hear that this production is getting a transfer

A trailer was released today



Gosh, I wish I lived closer to Chichester!

I assume you are driving? As you would never make Newbury by public transport in 1hr 45.

So at the curtain call it will be worth your while hoovering at the exit and get the hell out of the theatre to avoid being stuck in the car park for half hour with every other theatre goer who is trying to use the same exit, it quickly becomes gridlocked!!!! Also in the interval if you are parked for from the theatre i.e. the other side, it can be worth seeing if a shopper has vacated a car parking spot, closer to the theatre and move your vehicle to the more favourable position.

You should do it just looked on Google Maps and it said Journey time 1hr 27 and good thing you should be heading on the A27M27 towards Southampton, so heading away from Goodwood But saying that I hope you make the show and enjoy it.

Oh yeah if you need a toilet do this on the way in a petrol station, don't get caught up in the Chichester mayhem, even quite a bit of traffic getting out of Chichester and will be extra from Goodwood - once passed Chichester town hopefully you be motoring.

Thanks for all the helpful tips - I'm familiar with the set-up there. Plan to arrive early enough to park where I need to and we are reasonably well poised for a quick getaway at the end (and can move rather faster than many of the Chichester regulars!). Journey time can be anything from just over an hour with no traffic... last race at Goodwood is 5.20pm and the bars are open til gone 7pm, so hopefully the two hours will be enough!

Thuought you might be well versed with the venue and journey, just saying in case you wasn't and any others planning to do the same and haven't been to Chichester before.
