Do we know if it starts with (ancient spoiler alert)...Romeo dead or is it a re-imagining of the whole play or some kind of flashback thing.I know it will hardly matter in a crazy train-wreck of an idea like this,but just curious.Think it will be as mad as a box of frogs,but will support it...might work better after a long sesh in the nearest pub🍷....sometimes bonkers fun in the theatre is all you need,especially atm in this country of ours. The blurb in the Manchester ad says "what if Juliet's famous ending was really just her beginning?" So I'd guess that will be the starting point |

Some photos have cropped up of the set design and it looks really good. I'm actually really excited for this.

I am still predicting this is gonna be epic lol! Even if it turns out to be an epic failure will be an amazing bonkers all singing all dancing one - a bit like Moby Dick or Children in Eden moving in to theatrical legend with people in 10, 20 years time WISHING they had seen it!
Just me!?

Can we expect to see the traditional drunk hen party Mamma Mia crowd turning up and expecting a 2hr+ 90’s sing a long? I’m hoping we can get through the previews without too much grief, but as long as it’s big, loud and a load of crazy dancing and pyro it should be a great show. After BOOH, I’m hoping for something similar in this production.
BRING IT ON!

A friend who's there tonight has just posted a pic of the set online. Has a fairground vibe to it

Had a similar idea to you Dom. I’ve a got a row F stalls seat. Hopefully away from any crazy people. Though knowing my luck, I’ll be sat right in the middle of the hen party crowd! |

Hoping it will be so loud that even if people are singing we'll never know..... |

I've just seen a tweet saying that the ushers were encouraging people to take photos during the show so long as their phones are on silent. I hope this is a preview only policy - can't see it working out well.

That's going to cause problems as after photos come uploading them to social media etc etc and before you know it people are on their phones the entire show. |

I hope there's just been some sort of miscommunication and that it's just a Megasix-style thing at the end.

I'm betting that there will be some people who will attach themselves to the show, see it many times, buy the cast recording asap, sing along to it when they go, stage door at every performance, buy their favourite cast member ridiculous things and say that the show is their life!!

As one of the Six girls is in it, that is pretty inevitable! |

Allowing the audience to take photos during the show is so disrespectful to other audience members. I hope it's just a first preview thing.

Well I saw it tonight not realising when I booked it was the premiere. It’s ridiculous and it’s campy but it was such good fun. Production value was incredible and the cast are super talented. Best £13 I’d spent in a long while.

I was already excited to see it for the pop bangers and the amazing cast but the set looks really cool as well from the pictures i’ve seen. I just know this show is gonna be my go-to ‘fun show’ like BOOH was!
