Sent my reply back yesterday for option 2. I’ve not heard back from HM yet. ☹️

Hoping it will return one day. A huge well done & thank you to them for attempting this at such a difficult time. Hopefully it will be the financial making of Hope Mill.

Looks like four and five star reviews across the board.

Slightly off tangent but after someone mentioned Rent Remixed earlier in this thread I made the mistake of looking up clips on YouTube. I remember enjoying it back when I saw it, but seeing it now...well some of their choices were questionable, to say the least.

Seems like things have changed regarding the stream's international availability. The booking page now states:
"Streaming to the UK ONLY. Playing at advertised times British Standard Time (BST). This event is geo-blocked to customers outside of the UK."
A bit of a problem to those overseas who have already booked tickets.

They should have cleared that before selling tickets to all and sundry. |

I imagine if you use a VPN to change your location online you can bypass it Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (iPlayer, I'm looking at you). I'm just annoyed that they didn't sort this before accepting sales from abroad. If they won't refund me, I'll try my VPN (and I know it'll float up online anyway...) |

Well, Hope Mill redeemed itself by sending a nice email around to us foreigners and refunding the full amount promptly. I may paypal them a donation anyway ...

I also received the e-mail about the refund. I would rather have seen the show!
Why geo-restrictions? It is not like there are a lot of Rent shows running worldwide, competing for customers.

I may paypal them a donation anyway ... ...and I hope they redeem themselves by telling me what merch they’re sending as part of the ‘option 2’, so I still have time to buy whatever I want before it sells out. (and getting my continental pal a programme if need be!). |

I reckon it’s to do with the licensing. With MTI Shows you often only get the right to perform/broadcast the show in the country where the production will take place |

I had an interaction with them about the seating arrangements when I was planning on seeing it live and they couldn’t have been more helpful. |

Well, Hope Mill has outdone itself.
AFTER they refunded me for both the stream and the programme I had ordered... they have now sent me a programme anyway, all the way to Germany.
Sent a donation their way now.

I'm really excited for this! Going to plan a nice evening, order some food and enjoy the show. Still wondering what they're sending us in the post along with a programme and keyring.

My "Party Pack" arrived today, containing a programme (including the actors' pronouns which is a nice touch), a keyring, some sweets and a little picture of the cast.
Also, does anyone know how long the stream is available for? Or can you only watch it at a specific time.

Pretty sure it’s geolocked to play at the exact time it starts and then no replays |

Their email said it's available for three hours with a 2.5hour running time, so I guess you can start it a little bit later, but not too much as you'll miss the end otherwise.
