Heathers: The Musical - TRH / The Other Palace / @sohoplace

Don’t joke...there was a womens march going past at about 1.30 which I wondered if Emi was spearheading. A morning of militance followed by a two show day. Sounds right up her street! 😂❤️

We actually hate each other. So much so that we have to be kept apart. 

Saw this again tonight and loved it. Great to see the company settled and fresh on a Monday. Was surprised though to see it pretty full with every level at 80-90% couldn’t quite see right up the top but looked busy.

Also huge queue out front, right down the front of the theatre. I like that they’ve organised & structred a place to meet & sign. Works well. Also cast were talking about being relieved to have recovered from recording the album which may explain Jodie being off and reported tired performances. But seems like the album is a definite which is nice as I like the new song Carrie sings so to have that would be great.

I’ve no doubt that the new recording will be excellent. Like you, I much prefer Carrie’s take on it to Barrets, but not only that, you have the rest of the insanely talented cast and ‘I Say No’ which fits so seamlessly into the score it may aswell have always been there. If it is to be the definitive recorded version everyone needs to be at the top of their game. I just wish it didn’t have to be at the expense of the casts vocal health.

Cover run today, judging by Alex Hatton's Instastory.

Finally seeing this again today, first time at Haymarket having previously saw it at The Other Palace. Decided to chance it and get dayseats, arrived at 9am with only one person in the queue, so I’m off to the matinee. Can’t wait to see my friends reaction to the show (he’s yet to see it at all) and to hear the new song that they added.

What are the chances of that eh? The upper circle & balcony are ‘sold out’ for midweek matinees from now on, yet plenty of top price & VIP seats appear to still be available. What are the chances eh? 🙄

I wonder with the cast album we will get a tour or west end return of Heathers it has sold well over here

They would have to rethink certain things if this were ever to stay in the West End for it to run. Firstly, the casting. Carrie is a draw for alot of people, if she leaves, how much success does it have. It's midweek matinees are like a third full, so they would be better off ditching the midweek matinee, as well as maybe a Monday night and instead to a four show weekend to get the fangirls in when they are out of school. Also, a smaller theatre for what is actually designed as an intimate show. It would work well at someone like the Ambassadors for a longer run.

Yes, I should have looked further on to see that it isn’t the case. It isn’t half term next week where I’m from so didn’t make the link. I apologise unreservedly to anyone offended by my post, and those affected by it. I just struggle to believe that the hideous gallery could be sold out. Free arthritis with every ticket!

I think heather's has done remarkably well and I am delighted for the creative team and cast that it has made it to the west end but i really don't think it will have another life in the west end. Possibly another run at the other palace but I don't think it has the pulling power to sell out a west end house for 8 shows a week for much more than the 12 week run it is already playing.
