I didn’t think the concert would return with the announcement tbh. I thought we would just see the full production return at the end of June. Surely there is no point in it returning for a week or so before they need to change back to the full production, unless they will do the concert for a couple of months until there is confirmation there won’t be another lockdown/vapidity restriction. I hope I can make my new date, I prefer moving the dates to another rebooking scramble! I guess we can be fairly confident that the May date for socially distanced theatre will happen - so they can be as confident as circumstance allows that they can get the concert up and running. The June date. Well, am massively hopeful, and keeping everything crossed it will happen - but theatre with no social distancing seems, hmmm, less certain than the May offering shall we say? Makes sense to run the concert until they can be sure the sit down production can start again. I'm sure most of the same cast will be back and don't forget is basically the touring set. On tour the get ins were 3 (maybe 4) days so wouldn't take long to get it back in. Maybe a week for rehearsals in the theatre and tech - could be as little as a two week interruption I'd say! Anyway, chuffed the concert will be back and can't wait to finally see it. What I find more of a mystery, is what Phantom will decide to do!

I'm not too hopeful about this - they've changed the wording on the booking pages from 'postponed' to 'cancelled': "Following the latest Government announcement, England is currently under Lockdown restrictions. Because of this, performances of LES MISÉRABLES - THE STAGED CONCERT have been cancelled from 1st March onwards."

I can make mine assuming Back to the Future doesn't open until July (I have 2 dates for Les Mis, the first 'pencilled' date I can definitely make). For the shows that did open in the autumn I can't see why they wouldn't reopen ASAP once allowed - though I assume there will be some recasting here.

CHF will be doing Cinderella and Michael Ball Hairspray. No idea about Alfie Boe (though does he do anything without Ball these days) or Matt Lucas though TBO would like to see another concert take on Thenardier. Wonder if there will be a hideous scrum for tickets again or if everyone is over it after so many cancellations.... If we don't have Ball and Boe assume it might be easier to get (more) tickets!

As someone whose ticket got cancelled because I chose not to buy an expensive one, I'm over it. I love Les Mis, but I haven't forgiven DMT for that fiasco, so although I am very keen on being back in a theatre as soon as I can, it won't be the first to get my money.

I was in the same boat, but rebooked when I had the opportunity and have seats that would have cost more! Swings and roundabouts - I think DMT did the only thing they could really. My grumble is paying for DMT+ and losing that advantage when I lost the first tickets. Hopefully I'll see the advantages of DMT+ at some point.

Likewise, still not forgiven them for that shambles. The only thing that takes the sting away is the performance I'd booked got cancelled anyway due to going into tier 4.

I wonder how long they plan to run the concert version for, as they've now taken tickets for the full production off sale.

So my ticket for the full production on 4th June has been changed on the DMT+ bookings page to 1st October!!! God knows if that has any significance or is a random event.....

So seems it could be quite a wait for the full production. Assume the tour will have a similar fate. I have Bristol and Birmingham tickets coming up!

I have 2 concert and 2 staged performances booked (one was a replacement for Sister Act!), no Les Mis tour tickets to confuse things! I have labels in my email and symbols on my countdown app but think I'll need a spreadsheet too (20 bookings up in the air right now) I hope this means there is an announcement soon. I have to say I do prefer getting given a new date to a scramble, its a starting point at least. EDIT: just realised I'm double booked for the October date

October is a sensibly far enough time to wait to have full Houses again.

My dads ticket from 2nd June moved to 29th September. If the dates were moved like for like then that would put reopening day for the full production as 13th September.

Makes sense to remount the concert with socially distanced audiences and be able to increase capacity as and when the relaxation of restrictions enables them to do so.

Also agree that Lucie is a superb choice for Fantine - I hope she continues when the show reopens too.

Oh dear, may have to retract my previous statement about not giving them my money as I'd love to see Lucie as Fantine.
I will wait until they announce the guest Valjeans though so I can decide who I want to see. I'd like to know who it will be on my birthday...

Have to say I’m impressed with Delfont Mackintosh. Got my new dates yesterday lunchtime, couldn’t make one of them so used their form and got my chosen date by 8am today (slightly better seat too!)
