Bonnie And Clyde - Drury Lane/Arts Theatre/Garrick/Tour

How easy is it to grab Rush tickets?

A couple of Saturdays ago I booked the matinee through officiallondontheatre only a few hours before the performance and got 3rd row stalls 4 seats in and paid like £30. I checked rush too and didn’t get a seat as good as that.

My third and final show of the weekend and wow was it a treat.
Barney as Clyde was brilliant. Delighted I caught him. Vocally wonderful and genuinely scary at times.
Both Francesca and Natalie are equally amazing.
Dying ain’t so Bad was truly a masterclass in performing.
The show has an amazing score and hearing those songs live is worth the ticket price alone.
The set was very impressive for such a small venue too, very clever use of space.
I sat front row and my neck was very sore by the end of the show from looking up but all the same I’m happy with the view. I’d recommend sitting further back though.
I’d love for this show to have a longer life in London. It’s a real treat.

We had the "B" team on evening of 25 June. Alternates/Understudies for Bonnie (Lauren Jones), Buck (Charlie McCullough) and Blanche (Anne Guy). But, all were excellent. Hard to believe the regular cast would be any better. That Jones and Guy could deliver You Love Who You Love with such harmony and emotion together is remarkable under the circumstances.
We thought Jordan Gage was magnetic, charismatic and totally believable. He should be a star from now on. Lauren Jones was radiant and engaging and totally believable, even where the book doesn't provide enough motivation, her performance made her actions seem "right" for her. Guy was right up there with Gage and Jones - hard to say any was better than the other. Just really well performed.
Any issues I have are with the show itself and not the performances - odd to say, but it seemed like there were almost too many songs! And not all of the songs advanced character/plot in a way that required a song.

Oh, and Pippa Winslow was awful as an actor.

I saw the Theatre Royal Drury Lane concert- LOTS of theatre lovies about- with Jeremy Jordan but I've not watched the show.

Does anyone this might gain a second life and transfer to another theatre?

Saw this on Jubilee Friday and adored it.
The thing that struck me most was how very well-acted the piece was which is not always the case in MT.
Jordan and Frances excelled as the edgy,reckless,devil may care lead characters.Big shout out to the brilliant Nat McQueen as well.
Audience were predominantly the younger age group with the odd fossil like myself thrown into the mix.It struck me that ‘fans’ of JLG from Heathers,Bat and &Juliet were out in force to see HIM rather than being attracted to the show itself.Not a new phenomenon,but definitely a great assurance for getting ‘bums on seats’.
Each song ended with raucous applause which admittedly was very well deserved.
Versatile use of the Arts Theatre stage.
Could not fault any aspect of it.
A transfer or a tour? Not sure if either would work without teen favourites in the leads.

I think cult following is key here. It struggled at the start of its run after its initial week or two. It's now doing exceptionally well based on word of mouth.

At Wildhorn and Friends, Wildhorn said he was keen to have a better relationship with  the UK market, so I 100% see it going on tour... but I also can't see it doing well on tour...

The Arts seems to have a strategy now of short runs, then bring back shows that are a success. So I wouldn't be surprised to see this back again.

I don't think this will tour yet. There's a big difference between a cult following in London at a small theatre in London and people knowing the show on the road.

"House Full" must be the favourite words in the English language for a theatre entrepreneur and the words were on display yesterday.

Never seen it before - and mainly went because it was Sunday and, well, there's not much on on a Sunday - but it's a good entertaining musical, well sung and acted, very slickly staged with a few songs which are almost memorable. Couple of understudies on show but both of them, the Mickey Rooneyesque Barney Wilkinson as Clyde and Charlie McCullagh as his brother Bud, did themselves proud. Great performances from Frances McCann and Natalie McQueen too.

I see no reason why this shouldn't continue to grow. The audience, many of whom seemed to be regulars, certainly adored it.

…sold out run? Where was this? 🤣

How are the producers continuing to get away with calling this a sold out run? There were a number of empty seats when I went.
