Venue Cymru have just emailed to confirm Jamie is cancelled at their venue. They have not been able to reschedule. A link was provided in the email to select full or partial conversion to credit vouchers, donation to Conwy Arts or refund. I've selected partial conversion to credit as one of our group really needs a refund. Credit email will be received in the next couple of days with refund to account soon after. Seemingly painless compared to other experiences.

RSC has cancelled their winter season, postponing productions to next winter, with the hope to reopen in the Autumn with some rescheduled productions. Includes the cancellation of their Barbican residency, usually November - December. www.rsc.org.uk/news/coronavirus |

Everything beginning to point towards Theatre resuming spring next year at the earliest.
Hope I am proved wrong.

Everything beginning to point towards Theatre resuming spring next year at the earliest. Hope I am proved wrong. I know a few theatres have cancelled/postponed their pantos, I'm wondering how long it will be until most theatres do the same? I know one said that writing and rehearsals should have started by now. But then again if they were allowed to start rehearsing by say October would that be enough time? I do wonder how may theatres could cope with the influx of refund requests. |

I don't know what is pointing to that. At the moment it seems quite clear a lot of theatres are actually working towards opening up in some capacity in November.

^If the Panto season is lost it could be an absolute disaster for theatres everywhere...easily biggest revenue maker of the year...friend of mine told me for some theatres,it’s up to 70% of their annual income...sounds a lot to me but could be true

If possible could regional theatres just re-do last year's panto if sets and casts are available? Would need less rehearsal time and if it's safe enough, and that's a big if, families may be happy to see the same show just to get a night out.

Would need less rehearsal time and if it's safe enough, and that's a big if, families may be happy to see the same show just to get a night out. Most casts are already booked. I wonder with things like the famous York panto with Berwick Kaler or Paul Chuckle in Cardiff how it will work, with older cast members. Unless you isolate the cast together before, which would essentially happen for rehearsal so it might work! |

Update for West End theatre audiences Statement from the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) Every show is now extending cancellations until Sunday 2 August, certain shows may decide to extend this cancellation period and producers will make their own statement as appropriate for their shows. Ticketholders for affected performances do not need to do anything. They will be contacted by the organisation from which they bought their tickets to arrange a refund, credit note or exchange for a later date. This does not mean theatres will reopen on 3 August; and further cancellations will continue to be announced on a rolling basis. The decision to reopen theatres will be made based on government and scientific advice on gatherings and events. Different theatres and productions are likely to reopen at different times. We are grateful to customers for the continued patience and kindness they are showing during this challenging time for our industry. FAQs: officiallondontheatre.com/coronavirus-information/ |

I got the cancellation notice from the Arts Theatre just now about my Six tickets in July. I’ve applied for a refund but I am letting them keep the booking fees as they are an independent theatre and not owned by ATG/DMT or any other big firm.

As said in the statement, other shows may extend their closing. Matilda have said they're closed until 30th Aug, currently.

I’ve just had an email from The Bridge Theatre about La Belle Sauvage
“Because of the continuing restrictions on theatres we are sadly having to postpone performances of The Book of Dust - La Belle Sauvage this summer. As soon as it’s safe to do so, we’ll get The Bridge back open.
In the meantime, we would very much like to hold your booking for The Book of Dust - La Belle Sauvage with the seats you chose - and we’ll get back to you with a new date as soon as we can. If you’re happy with that, you don’t need to do anything.”

Statement from BILLIONAIRE Cameron Mckintosh over redundancy plans It's his personal money - would you bankroll everything indefinitely if you were him? He'll still be paying rather a lot in the meantime if the shows are to come back at all... Edit: see also the much better explanations in the "Getting theatre up and running again", thread. Or just read some basic economic theory. |
