I bet they push out the pre-recorded version. They surely barely have enough cast to go ahead? And with the possibility of more dropping at any moment, surely it's the only real option here? Unlesss they have filmed a show with an audience already I doubt it. I’d imagine they are hurriedly rehearsing anyone near by who knows the show 😂

It’s not an option as there is no pre-recorded version. It hasn’t been filmed yet. The entire show was recorded during rehearsals for the live broadcast to test camera angles, etc. And to be fair, there is no way that any company planning a live broadcast in 2021 is not going to have a back-up plan in case Corona gets in the way. The 2013 tour with Thornton was also professional recorded (as are most shows nowadays), so they probably have multiple options available to them should they not be able to broadcast live.

Nup, can't do it.
Been thinking about it all morning.
Can't justify £23.50.
It's a screening for Halloween

No. There is a rehearsal for the live broadcast where the show will be filmed to test camera angles etc this afternoon. It hasn’t even started yet.

I’m not sure I’d bother if someone fluffed my cushions for me, poured me a refillable large shiraz and gave me a bag full of red cables to munch on throughout. Horse…flogged …dead.

I hope it's the phantoms they get new people in for. This is an amazing opportunity for the understudies and I hope they get that chance to shine.

Very sad for the cast and for the audience who had to be turned away. Facebook gossip suggests it was due to a cast injury during warm-up. I guess they're running out of understudies. Hopefully all will be good again for tonight.
I've had to cancel my cinema attendance as I'm full of cold and it wouldn't be right to sneeze and cough around the rest of the audience. Sadly I have no understudy available either! I hope it all works out for everyone this evening, fingers crossed for you all.

Well the way it is looking, it is going to be a surprise as to what we get tonight! I wouldnt be surprised if they have been/are trying to get people in who have performed this particular version of the show before to try to fill outstanding roles. Whether that be as phantoms or replace key cast so understudies can go back to the phantom roles

Sorry but over £20 at my local Cineworld is unjustifiable. It's the same tired old production, nothing in the cast - as usual - to excite, and the poster has someone I've never heard of and don't recognise, with the hook being he's in a show I never watch.
13 seats sold, by the way.

Definitely going ahead - they’ve just announced Rachel Grundy will be on as Janet instead of Haley Flaherty. Quite the night for cover roles!
Please do post your reviews as I’m gutted that I had to cancel.

I wish I was going now! Wasn’t fussed to see the same cast again though (nothing wrong with them). Just on my way to magic goes wrong at the mayflower though.

Twitter going berserk, it's trending in the UK. Half the people have no picture, the other half have no picture or sound. What an absolute nightmare.

Glad I didn’t rush back from the matinee I saw today. Just saw on Twitter that my local cinema has sound, but no picture. No doubt it will end up on YouTube in full anyway…
