Heard a rumour somewhere it’s David Hasselhoff but can’t remember where I heard that ! As others mentioned earlier in the thread, David Hasselhoff joining the West End cast. Good to see he's found some work following the cancellation of the Scrooge arena tour. |

Will all audience members will be entered into a draw to win £925 every performance (that he is on)?😩

It would've been a nice touch. It's not a groundbreaking show, but it's got a couple of nice songs. And would be nice to hear Caroline Sheen and Natalie McQueen belting them out!

Do love me an OLC :-) Oh thats a shame, I was really looking forward to this! As much as I love the performers on the OBC, an updaed OLC would have been fab! |

Dunno if part of the problem was that it ended up not being massively clear if Sheen or Louise should be on the CD..... |

One of the esemble put on their stories the day it was announced a pic of the Sheen and the rest of cast- claiming how happy they were about doing a recording! Sheen was the original Violet- would be a cheek if they swapped her for Louise IMO. |

Sheen was the original Violet- would be a cheek if they swapped her for Louise IMO. Indeed - but Louise was the booked original. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a dispute that scuppered things. Playing devil's advocate: The musical fans will all want Sheen. The GBP (where most of the revenue lies) will want Louise. And then it all ends up too much trouble for everyone lol.... |

Stupid question (maybe) - is it possible to enter the theatre as far as the merchandise stand without a ticket? I can't remember if they already check your ticket when you enter the theatre itself (before descending the staircase) or if it's just a bag check at this stage? When I went in summer I forgot that I had meant to buy one of the "cup of ambition" mugs and now that I broke my favourite coffee mug at home (boo) I'd quite like to get one but I'm not paying insane amounts of postage to have it shipped to Germany.

You could have it shipped to the uk and someone that owes you big time could send it over to you? 😊

This happened to me with some Funny Girl merchandise. I spoke with the box office and they allowed me to pop into the theatre before a Saturday matinee and they had the merchandise that I wanted to buy waiting for me. Great service. The person who was working the merchandise stall came up to the box office and I paid them.
Hope this helps.

I did this on Broadway once for Hedwig. I explained to security and they let me go in and told me to report back once I was done.
No idea if they would have searched for me if I didn’t. I did not risk it. ^^
I think if you ask nicely you won’t have a problem in London!

I’ve done this many times (though never at Savoy) to buy merch. Always gone early (usually when doors open as normally on way to another show). Never had a problem! |

Not sure but this may be against the general flow.
Found this contrite, painful and never really rescued itself from the sexist scenes in the first half. Didnt care about any of the characters.
On the plus side choreography was excellent and there were some genuinely good moments
