I'm sure he can get out of that if need be. It wouldn't be the first time an actor gets out of a contract for another role.

Anything announcing now, to go in before Christmas, is silly too. Unless it's got Jodie Comer in it, it just isn't long enough to sell a run in a 1000+ seat house

This won’t necessarily last until April. A musical is looking to transfer here before Xmas and very well may happen. It does smell like one of those slightly desperate ‘try & make people see it before it closes’ type extensions. I’d expect it to start stumbling after Christmas and maybe close Valentines week. ‘Crazy for You’ and the Savoy seem like a match made in heaven.

Is this due a cast change? Am I right in thinking the leads have been in for 2 and a half years? I wonder if whoever goes in next will be taking it on tour.

Aimie Atkinson and Danny Mac are confirmed in it until 13th November. Really, it's only been just over a year. It played for a month at the Piccadilly before Covid closures and then reopened on 8th July 2021.

Surprised by Courtney Bowman as Kit, a lovely piece of casting in my opinion! Saying that, I’m really surprised this is still going. I enjoyed it but with so many shows closing, I’d have had this one in the mix too.

Both performances cancelled today due to "illness in the company".
Fortunately for me the notification was emailed just after 11am. An hour later and I would have been on my way to the station as I had a matinee booking. No text message though.
Rebooked same reduced-price front row seat for a few weeks time.

Extends to June, surprisingly.
The leads never seem to be there!

How long is Courtney Bowman in Pretty Woman? Is there a website for this type of question?

TBH It'll have done almost two years at the Savoy plus the month at the Piccadilly so it's had a successful run all in all. It'll do great guns on tour.
Wonder what's planned for the Savoy. A musical or perhaps the Stranger Things play?

Standing at the Sky's Edge? I think you’ll find SATSE is booked into the Arts. Following some minor modifications to the staging of course 😀

It feels like he's been in it for about 25 years

It feels like he's been in it for about 25 years ... although only appearing in approximately 4-5 performances a week ...

Any ideas on who is taking over from Danny Mac?

With it touring to places like Milton Keynes, Woking, Bromley and Wimbledon, I’d assume it won’t be running concurrently with the production in the West End. Possible a final extension through the summer to be announced?

Tour announced, I think it may be the case we do see the show leave London soon (I hope to be there for the final performance!) as Wimbledon is on the tour.
I have loved having this show here, I first saw on Broadway!
I truly hope we get a Broadway musical transfer in its place!

I thought it odd that the tour would be going to York Theatre Royal. Turns out it isn't. They've only gone and used the wrong photo.
They have used the right photo for Manchester Opera House, but the link takes you to the Palace Theatre.
Those new CRM Executives can't start soon enough!

Saw this tonight for the first time. I’m not gonna lie, for a long time I had no interest in seeing it, I had this idea in my head that it would be really cheesy and a bit rubbish, but I’d always thought I’d give it a go at some point. An old close friend of mine is in it so I used that as my excuse, even though I’d been saying for about 6 months I’d see it, I finally did tonight!
Honestly I loved it! I don’t think I can fault it much at all. I’m not saying it’s the best show on the west end, but I just enjoyed it from start to finish, nothing felt off, or cheesy, I liked all the songs, it was funny. I really wish I had seen it sooner now.

Saw the show this afternoon, went in with low expectations but actually thought it was okay!
Throughly enjoyed Aimie Atkinson as Vivian, I liked how she made the role her own and didn't seem a copy of Julia Roberts. Courtney Bowman was great as Kit, what a voice! Great to see two Six Queens I had seen before!
I liked Andy Barke as Happy Man/Mr Thompson, thought he was fun and comical how he appeared in different scenes.
The opera part blew me away, amazing vocals.
John Addison was on as Edward and I did feel he was doing a copy of Richard Gere!
Walked away thinking I hadn't made a BIG...HUGE mistake seeing it finally.

I really wish I had seen it sooner now. I saw this on Broadway twice with two different leads. Loved both. My second time was with actors that have extraordinary rock voices. They were amazing and so different. The London production is a scaled down version, similar to Hamburg. Yes, Im a theatre geek that saw both Tina and Pretty Woman in german in Hamburg. What the creators got right was teaching Vivian to dance and not which fork to use while dining. Jerry Mitchell is a masterful creator.
