I'm so excited to see Adam Bailey back in the UK doing this tour. Ever since he first humped me during Jest End, I've wanted to see him in another show. 😂😂

I was undecided whether to book for this at the lowry, but after watching this clip, I’m now seriously tempted to do so. |

Have booked for my wife and mother in law to go for one of the Sheffield Matinees - notice the balcony is not on sale at the moment. I hope this does well though, Katherine Kingsley is always worth watching.
Quite a lot of the 'new' shows in Sheffield only sell in the stalls and circle to start with. I go to most of the musicals and used to like second row of balcony as it was cheap and if you can cope with the restricted leg room is a pretty good view. Now (if I want to save money) I have to buy rear circle, which in fairness isn't expensive, but the leg room is horrendous so I now try end of isle, which means I can stretch one leg out, but miss stuff in the wings.

Reading the Don Quixote thread, it looks like if Dusty does find its way to London, it will either be without Rufus Hound, or after February 2019.

I'm seeing it next week. I keep looking on here to see what anyone else thinks of it, but it doesn't appear to be on everyone else's list of must see shows. :-(

I’m very much hoping this is coming to a theatre more accessible to me soon. The current stops aren’t particularly convenient, but I’m holding out hope yet.

3 star review in The Stage - very mixed - while praising performances it implies there is work to be done on the show.
I would like to have seen this but the short tour doesn't come south at all. The producers must be looking to bring this into London?

This show must be coming to London. They wouldn’t make a brand new musical for 3 tour dates surely?
I can see it being in a playhouse rather than a musical house. What ones could be free? Theatre Royal Haymarket after Xmas?

Don't think I can reach any of the tour venues on the limited dates specified so I've signed up to the mailing list for any further dates/venues and/or London transfer. Those interested will find the link on the musical's own site.

I'm seeing it next week. I keep looking on here to see what anyone else thinks of it, but it doesn't appear to be on everyone else's list of must see shows. :-( I was beginning to wonder if Sheffield Theatres had forgotten it arrives next week. By bus, car and foot, tens of thousands of people must pass the back of the Lyceum every day, but since Jersey Boys moved on, it's Thriller that has been advertised, rather than Dusty. Looking at ticket sales, perhaps there's a reason; Dusty is currently selling much better than Thriller. There is hope.  |

Sounds like it might be pretty good. Yes, you are right, I must have had an email every day plugging Thriller, but nothing for Dusty. I decided to book Thriller as well, I know it's not really got a story, but I do like Michael Jackson's music and the dance routines. Went for the cheapest seats in the balcony and there are only 6 of us up there up to now, so will possibly be upgraded to stalls. |

I'm afraid, BurlyBeaR, that you'll have a long wait. For all kinds of reasons, including the nice weather, Wimbledon on the TV, and a trip to London, I'm not actually going to see Dusty. (Not next week anyhow.) Call mi'sen a theatre fan? So it's all down to you then grannyjx6!!! |
