A 2020 'original' tour was mentioned here in the Predictions thread, so top marks to that person.
The phrase "featuring original Maria Bjornson designs" implies this isn't the original production verbatim., which strikes the fear of god into me, but happy to read it'll be visiting Manchester soon!
OOOOH Thaxton?!!
Edit: In the comments -B confirms it's the original production!

By Sia? Pretty sure they’ll stick with the original score BB but I like the idea of Meg Giry belting her face off at the annual opera house karaoke. Maybe suggest it.

I bloody hope so. They did the fall back at the end of the 90s so cant see a reason why they wouldn't now, other than budget. Liverpool Empire still has the holes that they had to cut to in the roof specially to accommodate the flying steels for the chandelier.

Running 26th March - 30th May at the Palace Theatre in Manchester.
So, in May 2020, there'll be West Side Story at the Royal Exchange, Les Mis at The Lowry, Phantom at the Palace, and Back to the Future at the Opera House! Not too shabby.
Wonder if Hope Mill have something equally spectacular to add to the mix?!

This is probably the Asia tour just heading West by the time it concludes its current scheduled runs. The current cast is truly international, but I would think it'll have a UK cast by the time it hits the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if its current Phantom sticks around. The tour Christine is pretty fantastic too. A legit opera singer whose done the US tour of Love Never Dies. Though it's the original design there are some scaled back elements.

With Phantom and WSS both playing in Manchester at the same time I’m certainly considering a Manchester theatre weekend. A double show day on Saturday and hopefully a visit to the Hope Mill for a Sunday matinee if their programming ties in 🤞.

I’d definitely be up for that.

God! It’s soooo elitist. Everything happens in Manchester 😂 London’s West End is so yesterday. Manchester is THE place to go to for top quality theatrical entertainment. It is also the home of the 🐻. Manchester - the Northern Theatrical Powerhouse.

Yeah, theres like five great things on at once, plus ‘Ghost’ started there! (Other face melting musicals of quality may have also started there).
All it needs now is for SirLordBaronLloydGeorge to premiere his latest offering there and I might actually believe that things are a changing. I just cynically thought it was to do with it being a smidge cheaper to do things oop North, so the hard payroll hours are done out of London and a finished product is delivered to its London home without the need for loads of London weighted hours going into it. Also you’re more likely to get a 4 or 5 star rave from the Manchester Evening News than any other newspaper in the Western world.

I saw the tour a few years ago in Edinburgh and really enjoyed it. Seems there’s a lot of great shows planning tours in the next year or two 😊

It would be brilliant to get more than one watchable production on in Bristol & the South West at the same time instead of the odd decent tour or interesting tidbit at the Old Vic. I don’t even know if my theory is true. Is it cheaper to rehearse and tech a large show up North? Do people work for the same scale wherever it is, with just the expenses being more in London?
