Panto is back at the palladium next year so beauty and the beast must be spending Christmas either somewhere else or the wmc in Cardiff as we haven’t got a Xmas show for next year yet. My gues is we’re either getting beauty or love never dies

My gues is we’re either getting beauty or love never dies The fact that Wales hasn't announced a Christmas show does not mean you're getting this? I enjoy your optimism that all gaps mean WMC is getting whatever show though! The more logical guess is Christmas at its original home (the Dominion) no? |

Not sure I can see this going into the West End with Lion King, Mary Poppins and Frozen already there. Surely Poppins or Frozen will need to go before Disney want to put it in?...After all that's why Frozen isn't reopening on Broadway after COVID because that with Lion King and Aladdin was too much.

Word is the Poppins isnt going to be around for that long so it frees up space for a third Disney show...

I say about the millenium centre because it is my closest theatre to go to I love it :-) |

I know the show hasn't opened yet, but looking at the tour venues Bedknobs is going to it looks like it could play in a smaller house than the Prince Edward - IF it goes to the West End. |

Thats surprising I thought a show like this would require a bigger theatre. That's because from looking at some of the venues it will be playing at (like the Orchard in Dartford for example), it's not going to be a large scale show like Mary Poppins and Beauty and the Beast. Also, it's being produced by Michael Harrison by special arrangement with Disney (as it says on the Wikipedia page), so technically Disney are giving the rights to Harrison to produce it. I hope I explained that well enough. |

Strikes me too that from the variety of venues sizes it'll be old fashioned tricks (a bit like Wendy and Peter Pan at the RSC) rather than Mary Poppins style flying. I'm excited to see it though!

Strange, isn’t it? It’s gonna be a large tour (at least judging from the costumes, actors won’t have to move things with their hands like in the awful NetWorks tour). But the Palace is a big venue. Maybe they’re waiting to see if it’s worth it to keep touring the UK after the West End run, or just bring the whole set to Broadway for the revival? Or maybe they’ll leave Manchester for Christmas 2021, and keep London for later on?

Nativity the musical went from one of the countries smallish theatres (Birmingham Rep) to one of the largest being the Hammersmith Odeon. |

The Book of Mormon is at the Palace Theatre, Aladdin at the Opera House and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at The Lowry. |

Nativity the musical went from one of the countries smallish theatres (Birmingham Rep) to one of the largest being the Hammersmith Odeon. I wouldn't call the REP's stage small I think it's quite big. But in terms of capacity maybe it is at 825 seats. But I agree that Nativity managed to work at the Hammersmith Apollo but also they did use star casting. Bedknobs could possibly work in a bigger theatre (I know they have the Mayflower, Southampton on the list) but for a long run in the West End, I don't know if it's as well-known as a title from Mary Poppins or Disney's other ones. |

I agree with you
The point I trying to make you can upscale from a small stage to a bigger stage, with good producing, as you pointed out Nativity went big with stat casting, you can also upscale sets and lighting for the West End.
On a side note It is a pet hate when producers use the black curtain surround to save dosh,
As you say they’re playing the Mayflowerto the smaller theatre of the Orchard, by me in Dartford.

It’s exciting to know it’s a large scaled tour I’m hoping it I can’t love her dosn’t get changed. Would also be a nice touch to give beast evermore in act 2 to give him a song in the second act. I just cannot wait to here “home” live again it’s such a stunning song.

Chuffed with this hopefully the WMC will be open in time for Xmas and this is the perfect show to open it with and to bring families back to the theatre again. Perfect choice WMC I can’t wait defiantly getting tickets for this. And we have les miz next Xmas. :-) |
