Tonight's show at Liverpool Empire cancelled "due to extreme weather conditions" Not sure how that impacts on an indoor show? / I live on Merseyside and am somewhat confused as to what extreme weather conditions we have apparently been facing! Has the weather gone wrong then? |

I live on Merseyside and am somewhat confused as to what extreme weather conditions we have apparently been facing! Has the weather gone wrong then? It seems that there's been flooding on the Wirral but where I am in north Liverpool it's been a fairly nice day apart from a bit of light rain mid-afternoon. |

Been sent pictures of backstage. Stage door flooded and so did parts of the stage including a lot of electrical equipment.

Have they done rewrites over the pandemic? Some of these character names are different while other characters don’t appear at all?

Caught this in Milton Keynes last night, I definitely felt it was the weakest of the Mischief productions. I think the basic concept boxed them in too much, it was obvious what was going to 'go wrong before it happened and it never really took off. I smiled a few times but that was about it. Not dreadful at all but significantly less impressive than Play, Peter Pan and Bank Robbery.

If anyone saw the re-opening of the West End production last night, or will be seeing it soon, & had also seen it pre-covid, I'd be interested in a summary of the changes that have been made.

Is the touring version still the original version or the newer one? Wasn’t too bothered about seeing it again, but I really enjoyed Groan Ups when that played locally, so might give this another go, especially if it’s been altered.

As far as I know, not having seen it myself, the touring version is the original WE version. It certainly has the characters of the original WE version.

Is there any audience participation in the current London version?

Just a heads up -Today Tix have a special offer for this for 24 hours. I’ve just booked two row B tickets on a Sunday matinee for £25 each.

Yes. This was a great deal today. Even if it's just to get people booking a really good deal. Band A stalls seats for £25!

Well this was funny! Classic Mischief with all the laughs you expect with some really excellent comedic moments. There is some audience participation for those sat right at the front (including a few people coming up on stage) but it’s all in good fun.

Saw this as a last minute thing a couple of weeks back, as it was one of the few shoes still open, and I am a big fan of Mischief.
Didn't disappoint. Not as funny as Bank Robbery imo (a show which was so funny I was struggling to breathe at one point) but hugely enjoyable. A couple of tweens next to me were killing themselves laughing. We had all the cast intact except Sophisticato who had to have his understudy take over.
The Mind Mangler segments were my favourite, Henry Lewis is an amazing actor and improviser. He picked on a lad in the audience who was a dress designer for drag queens, and when asked "Do you do it outside?" he replied with "Not dress making, no" and the audience just lost it.

So is this playing in the West End with the original cast? I thought there were replacements now?
