I'd already used a panto refund to book for this at The Mayflower and now used my Waitress TodayTix voucher (for the 3rd time!) towards seeing it in London too as I can't see that cast all touring!

Wowsers, that rattled your chains did it? I’m not sure anyone will see it for a while but when they do I hope it’s wonderful and everything you were wishing for. I hear 99 year old Betty White is understudying Reno, with Sheila Reid as second cover. 😀 (For the record I just don’t think it’s worth doing these things half assed. Its clear who’s money they are going after by casting Mullally and I really do hope she is half as excellent as either Triplett or Foster were.) Out of interest did you actually see Sutton Foster in the show? Because she wasn’t good. I genuinely think maybe you should save your money if you think that them casting MM is somehow a cop out.. I think the vast majority would think this is pretty luxury casting. Given that Sutton Foster won the Tony Award that year for Best Actress in a Musical there are others who didn't agree with your assessment of her performance...

You forget that NY Times critic Ben Brantley waits to see what Mr Barnaby thinks first, without printing a word until it’s been set in stone for all of us mere mortals to regard. 🤣

Though of course some times we do disagree , and that only makes life richer.

Thank you, that's who I am with. Should of been going on 15th May but haven't got a new date as yet. If it's 4 weeks after I am going to have to change it as i'm away, hope they can do this as really don't want to miss it. Been a fan over Megan Mullally but over 22 years Did London theatre direct get in touch with you literally as soon as they said it had been put back? I still haven't got my new date as yet, messaged them and they said they are still waiting to hear back from the theatre

Sadly, I agree ... though I have now received my rescheduled booking, I don't see it being the last change.

Above pessimism notwithstanding... a quick heads-up for anyone else booking through London Theatre Direct - their re-issued confirmation email advised the rescheduled date but the e-ticket attached was still for the original date. I emailed and they've immediately sent the correct e-ticket, but best to find out now rather than on the day of the show which is when I'd usually dig out the ticket for a once-over!

Thanks for that info - I got my "old" date/seats as well, but figured since it was July only, they simply let us keep our seats on that date. Will email them and check!

I was on the verge of booking the tour at the lowry but decided to hold off. It’s not going to happen on those dates, no way.

Sadly I agree. I can’t see anyway this can open in the next 6 months without a severely reduced capacity, if at all.
I just hope if /when it’s delayed- that Megan M will still be able to do the show.
Was so looking forward to this one 😢😢😢

‘Singin’ in the Rain’ would be really good for the soul about now. When it happens I’m there.

Just got my rearranged date for this of 9th June, so looks like they anticipate opening before the 21st June with a socially distanced audience.

They'll need to shuffle people around for the first couple of shows if so and they're pretty well sold, so whether they'll have sufficient capacity to do so is debatable. Suspect my date may yet change again!

Has this been postponed again? I have a look and you can’t buy tickets before 23rd July now
