It's not "racism against the whites" if people want to give a show a standing ovation, Paul. Doesn't really fit, your attempted witticism, does it? And when you refer to "people [who]want to give a show a standing ovation," you are omitting mention of other people, namely, those sitting behind whom the former lot selfishly prevent from seeing the bows/finale. |

I'm thinking of standing when she hits the big notes in A New Argentina, because that is achievement to do that night after night. 😂😂

I was so disappointed hearing them sung the octave down on the Kenwright tour a few years ago. It sucks so much excitement out of the number. |

I spent a good half hour discussing that song and how it gets lowered with a few members on twitter earlier tonight. 😂😂 |

I was so disappointed hearing them sung the octave down on the Kenwright tour a few years ago. It sucks so much excitement out of the number. The thing is it's only lowered the first 2 times so I don't see why they wouldn't just do it as it was originally written? I suppose it's just to protect the singer's voice but it does lose so much oomph. |

If they're not interested in having it sung properly, or are just going to lower the keys, then maybe they should cast Sheridan Smith  |

Haven’t heard of any of them. Probably because they all appear to be coming over from America to do this. Lloyd was clearly looking for ethnically appropriate cast members, so I wonder how much of the casting he did over there? Hopefully there will be some home-grown talent in the ensemble. I’m excited though!

Yes, seemed like ethnically focused casting was the priority above home-grown talent...

We should welcome this casting. It seems we were getting to a point about a year ago where the same few faces were being mentioned for everything (whether it was the case or not)and with this and his baby Joseph it seems like ALW is taking the right sort of risks. I know it’s not him casting them, but yknow what I mean.

I’m liking the look of the artwork. So it’s modern dress by the looks of it. Exciting!
Now I just need to get a cagoule sorted.

Is this one to book now or could there be discounts closer to the time? I remember seeing deals for Little Shop towards the end of the run last year. Unfortunately I can’t take advantage of the brilliant Under 18 half price tickets this year💔

Unfortunately I can’t take advantage of the brilliant Under 18 half price tickets this year💔 Their 18-25 membership costs a one-off £10 fee and lets you book Band B seats for any production (including the Barbican transfer of JCS) for £10 each, so even if you just book one ticket for one production it'll cost you £20 in total instead of £50. The only catch is you can only book for preview performances, so it's not ideal in terms of flexibility, but you get other benefits too. openairtheatre.com/breeze |

Thanks so much for letting me know about this though, I’m sure it’ll be of great use to me in future years! |

The front two rows are now on sale for Evita.
They were previously held back, as the theatre was unsure of the staging when tickets first went on sale back in December.
