It’s in a funny spot isn’t it showgirl. Ancoats/New Islington is being regenerated so it’s somewhere between industrial and residential at the moment. Starbucks will be along shortly, no doubt! Pleased you found it ok anyway, and hope you enjoyed our little fringe theatre as well as the rest of your trip. |

Closing night in Manchester last night but a trailer appeared on Twitter a few days ago.

Seems to have gone down just as well as Yank, Hair and Pippin so I guess a transfer must be on the cards.

And with the non-singing version being on't telly over Christmas, it will be fresh in people's minds.

Just to add that it was really helpful that BurlyBeaR had given me such good directions and that he and others had also given useful travel info. I was able to mark the location on my various maps in advance and had no difficulty finding the venue (I actually walked from our hotel at Salford Quays, via central Manchester but got the tram back from New Islington) as I found zero signage until I was on the point of turning off the road on which the theatre is situated, into the actual yard via which you gain access. I don't think I missed any signs as I was obviously looking out for some, but if I did overlook any, they're clearly not prominent enough. Hope the theatre and the local authority plan to address this. You actually walked all the way from Salford Quays to Ancoats? That’s quite a way , we’ll done you! |

It's been bubbling for awhile, I forgot she was planning to transfer it. Covid must of delayed it. Very excited to see it though x |

Exciting, 'astonishing' news! This is up there with Spring Awakening for me as the pick of Hope Mill's work to date.
There's three potential venues I can think of where it might be transferring which have connections with either Hope Mill or Katy Lipson.
Charing Cross Theatre seems the most likely. There's also Southwark Playhouse in the Little space. I wonder if it could even be Upstairs at the Gatehouse (if post-Covid they're not doing an in-house Ovation musical this year), especially since they had another Katy Lipson show lined up, Jewish Hollywood, when Covid struck.
Not too long to wait to find out!

Oh, this is exciting! I love this score but 2017 was before I'd figured out that getting to Hope Mill from here was actually an option.

Surprised to see seating is in socially distanced bubbles for this, albeit with a disclaimer during the checkout process that capacity may increase.

Thanks for the heads up, I forgot booking was today. The bubbles and leaving a number for contract tracing is odd, retro and frustrating - I couldn't get my first choice of seats. If this is anything like the directors last show at the theatre sit central as she ignores people who sit on the sides |

It's a shame there are no decent front row seats offered for single theatregoers.
I would have booked now, but looks like I'll have to wait until the seats in the gaps go on sale (which should include some prime single seat positions in the current gaps).

Sorry Tom, I'm a party of 3, I got two together and the neighbouring single on the front row of the circle. Would of preferred side stalls but hey hum - have you tried the upstairs seats? Maybe still some left 🤞

I didn’t even think to try the pairs and see if it would let you book a single. Anyway, I shall look again later. I’m not expecting an immediate sellout.
I have set upstairs at the Park Theatre once but it was an awkward angle (hopefully I’m not muddling this up with another theatre).

Never been to this theatre. Is the view good anywhere?

I decided to secure the solitary decent single seat in stalls row B as it was available on a Tuesday when I already have a matinee booked at Southwark Playhouse The website states they exchange tickets for a £2 fee so I might do that to move forward if the opportunity arises. |
