I somehow missed it, but there was an announcement a few days ago that, "In the coming weeks Opera North and Leeds Playhouse will confirm summer 2021 dates for...A Little Night Music."
What's the betting that it clashes with the Buxton production?

I had a ticket for this last year but sadly don't think I'm likely to be able to get to Leeds for it this year, given it's about 3 hours each way by train for me. It might depend on when exactly "summer" turns out to be. I would really like to see Quirijn de Lang as Frederik in particular.

Unless it's coming later, this morning's announcement doesn't include A Little Night Music. There's opera, dance and music...but no musical.
Leeds Playhouse is going to announce further details of its reopening season "in the next few weeks", so if there's nothing further today, it will probably be included in that.

"wait" I've just asked ON and they it will be made in the next week or so "later"

A distinct lack of casting info - do many people book ALNM for the Madame Armfeldt? - but the mid-June to mid-July dates make me think I might be able to go after all, as I should have my 2nd jab the first week in July so if I booked for the last week of the run...

Grateful that I'm not excited by this casting. I've booked for Buxton in July and doubt that I could persuade hubby to leave London for two Night Musics in a month

Quirijn de Lang was excellent in Kiss Me Kate. However I was not enthralled by Stephanie Corley ... acting is not her strongest suit.

A pity Jeni Bern, who was Lili Vanessi in ON's first run of KMK & when WNO borrowed the production, hasn't been booked for ALNM as I thought she was better than Stephanie Corley as Lili & can imagine her being good as Desiree. But I still want to try to see it just for Quirijn de Lan, who I've thought excellent in everything I've seen him do (2 runs of Nozze di Figaro, 3 runs of KMK, & The Merry Widow).

A reminder that general booking opens tomorrow at 10am.
They have gone down the socially distanced route, at least initially, so you have to book all seats within a bubble of one, two or three seats. Unfortunately, I can't see any one seat bubbles under £35.
The best value, therefore, is to book two £14 seats which, with booking fee, come to a total of £30.50, rather than £37.50 for one.
It's ridiculous, but there we are! 😡

I even went for the exact seats I had last time

I too think I booked the same seat I had for last year, however this time I also had to book the seat next to it. As TallPaul has already pointed out, it was cheaper than booking any single seat. And I thought I'd better go as cheap as possible as I don't know yet whether I'll actually be able to risk going up to Leeds come July.

As 2 of my 3 are currently studying up in Leeds I can confirm that it totally isn’t worth the risk! Costs me a fortune every time we go. 😊

Booked for Thursday matinee 09/07, as this run gave me more performances I could book for than Buxton. I'm on leave all that week.

The Leeds Playhouse website says "All performances of this production will be with a socially distanced audience." and I booked based on that. I would be extremely unhappy if they suddenly changed to a full auditorium & I had someone just behind me, breathing down my neck. I'm worried enough about going to Leeds. I'll be keeping a close eye on the covid rates in the area nearer the time & have booked for the last week of the production as I should have had my 2nd vaccine by then.
