Haven't heard anything about tours. I'm supposed to be seeing Beautiful at Wimbledon Theatre next week. All my other shows (5 others, mostly West End) for this week and next are definitely closed, I'm assuming this one won't happen either??

The New Wimbledon is an ATG theatre so presumably covered by their announcement that all their venues are suspended.

Technically dance rather than theatre, but Sadlers Wells shows are cancelled until June 8th.

It's not impossible they will reopen next week, but I'd say it was highly unlikely. (I'm also booked for Beautiful there - or was)

Thanks. I'd forgotten, or didn't know they were ATG because someone else bought the tickets.

Might just be me, but can it be made clear somewhere which theatres this applies too? List of SOLT member theatres here: solt.co.uk/about-london-theatre/solt-member-theatres/(the Affiliates may not count for this purpose, but might have made their own announcements already) Link for UK theatres - go here: uktheatre.org/who-we-are-what-we-do/about-uk-theatre/and click 'list of members'. Not all of the members are venues, as membership is wider than that for the organisation. Broadly, it's every West End theatre, most of the major commercial theatres, and some of the NPOs.

I'm still waiting to hear about The Other Palace and Cadogan Hall. Supposed to see shows at both of these in the next month. No activity on their Twitters.

I have it from a reliable source that Kenwright has pulled all shows for the foreseeable future.

Southwark Playhouse (where The Last Five Years went ahead this evening) have announced all performances are cancelled for the next eight weeks. I thought as much, and was surprised that it went ahead tonight. I'm really glad I got to see it a couple of weeks ago.

Interestingly despite the suspensions, you can still buy tickets on the ATG website!

Interestingly despite the suspensions, you can still buy tickets on the ATG website! Give them a chance, it’s a massive blow to be dealt. I run a cinema, and these daily occurrences are incredibly difficult to manage. We’ve had to deal with Bond, A Quiet Place, Met Opera and now ROH Live all being pulled, and trust me, it’s not been easy. I’m sure they’re working as best they can to deal with everything and will get to it when they can.

No notice from them yet, but the Palladium site says events have been suspended indefinitely and that they hope to provide an update in the next few days.

Manchester's Home theatre/cinema/gallery complex has closed, and Liverpool's FACT has closed its galleries though at the mo I think the cinema bit is still open (not clear on this - it's a Picturehouse franchise so maybe it's not up to them?).

The Almeida is still pondering, but it's dark for the next two weeks so it doesn't make a difference atm. I'm surprised the king's head theatre hasn't announced anything yet.

ATG venues all shows suspended And yet 14 hours after the announcement they are STILL selling tickets for tonight’s performances of Six in Brighton and Back to the Future in Manchester!

Really worried that "Hairspray" may not occur next month.
