Sadly I think that it wasn't even the ticket sales that stopped this tour happening, I imagine the goings on with Wonderland caused the final nail in the coffin for this show to ever happen. *Note to self, always read the producer names before booking or getting hopes up* I don't know. Irregardless of Wonderland the show didn't see to have legs. No interaction online or announcements, they'd brought a domain but no website, coupled with poor sales it seemed to be a non-starter. I agree, I just think topped with the Wonderland controversy, it put a lot of people on tender hooks and I imagine some of the suppliers ala Wonderland may of chosen to get out before it was too late.*
*speculation of course!

Such a shame for all those venues now with gaps in their schedules. I was looking forward to this one, too  |

I wonder whether this even ever got to the stage of actually sending out offers to actors - or whether any actor or crew/creative accepted/declined/pulled out after hearing about Wonderland. If more people's jobs have been lost already on this non-existent production that's a disgrace, I hope it maybe never even got to that stage and I'm "happy" to see the show not take off for one reason and one reason only (doesn't need to be said!) and hope it doesn't re-appear in 2019, or if it does, maybe with different people involved. I hope and pray that anyone in the industry will, from now on, decline work from particular people no matter what umbrella or name is changed behind the scenes.

Just had an email from ATG.
The email implies that everyone has to ring ATG to claim a refund which seems a bit unnecessary. Wonder why they can't just issue refunds regardless?

Looks like they may well have got around to casting this, judging by Natalie McQueen's tweets:

Wonderland seemed to be doing decent business - 4,000 tickets pre-sold for a week in Wolverhampton in August was good business especially as it was a none Kerry week. You just wonder what the show's Producers were up to!
I thought that casts had to be given two week's notice even if performances were pulled so would that apply to Wonderland and Bring It On casts.
Regarding BIO, will any major theatres book these "producers" again, a lot of the huge ATG empire alone will have a week's hole in their schedule now. Venues later in the run can probably fill dates with an alternate tour or one nighters but "early run" venues will struggle before you factor in staff who could have been booked to work at venue those weeks and will not now have that income etc.

I didn't have an email either but I just phoned and they confirmed the tour has been "postponed" and issued a refund. No point in waiting for the email to arrive, we know it's not happening.

Its interesting doing an internet search on both facebook and twitter of this producer guy... always seems to be on holiday in lavish places and wearing expensive clothes. Shame he couldn't put that money where he should.

Very quick, refund confirmation email arrived in seconds. Every little bit of precision is magnificent. |
