I'm surprised there has been no mention of a cast recording so far.

I'm surprised there has been no mention of a cast recording so far. Baz announced it a couple of weeks ago  |

Judging by some of Michele Dotrice's tweets she isn't happy that her character is being photoshopped out of the posters. Initially I thought she was throwing some shade but her replies suggest she is being serious. Quite right she should be too. It's outrageous. They should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. I hope the show bombs. Go find yourself a new tax haven Barlow! |

I think the picture looks better without her, in that they're more evenly spaced, so they should just pick a different picture. I can't imagine how awful that must make you feel when they've actively cut you out. (In fairness, in the original she actually looks photoshopped into it.) Interestingly, the show just changed marketing agencies (again), I wonder if this is anything to do with it? I must say their posters are fairly uninspiring. |

It does seem really bad when all six of them were nominated as Best Actress together (regardless of how you feel about the nomination). |

The issue maybe that Michelle was off ill for a lot of the previews when these photos will have been taken so presumably they cropped the understudy out.
All a bit academic now I should think as I cannot see the show lasting that long.

Someone replied with the photo including her saying they preferred which she replied to saying how grateful she was. |

The posters with all girls are the versions where Michelle was photoshopped in.  |

Oooo damn, anyone wanting to see the show on the cheap, looking at the ATG website, book the Upper Circle tonight, you will no doubt be upgraded! Only 46 seats have been sold up there for tonight!

Looks like this has now been completely re-priced.
More price bands, cheaper seats available on all levels, and now Premium Seats as well...£85 Mon-Thu/£95 Fri-Sat. Maybe this is the toss up for altering the other price bands?
I guess what this shows is that, sadly, in this case, the Producers' experiment on pricing didn't work. Probably not helped by other issues with the show/marketing though.
EDIT- to confirm new prices:
Mon-Thu:
Stalls £29.50, £40, £52.50, £69.50, £85
Dress £52.50, £69.50, £85
Upper £19.50, £29.50, £40, £52.50
Fri-Sat:
Stalls £35, £45, £55, £75, £95
Dress £55, £75, £95
Upper £25, £35, £45, £55

I think, and I may well be wrong, the reasoning is more that whilst there are higher prices, there are more lower priced tickets. So, for example, adding some £95 premium tickets (and there are people who will pay that!) means that they can increase the number of cheaper tickets available. So someone on a budget of £40 can now sit in the Dress Circle in a seat that was originally £69.50, for example. Hope that makes some sense, it quite possibly doesn't! |

I agree TM. Whilst "no premium seats" is great, my long standing opinion has been that I don't mind premiums and/or super high pricing if it means we get a winder range and choice of cheaper seat prices/locations.
That's why I don't mind Hamilton's pricing, but thought Elf's was despicable.

Pity they can't crop the whole thing out of the west end.

Every show has its flaws, this show is no different. |
