Heathers: The Musical - U.K. Tour (Again!)

It was showing as completely sold out when I looked last week.

Pulled from Windsor by the look of it. They've even removed almost all evidence the tour was ever closing there from their social media.

And an update to the previous post.

I saw this yesterday from the Upper Circle (it was a late decision as I'm already going later in the week, so those seats were the only sensible ones financially).

I've never sat up there before (or seen Heathers from so far back). There are a lot of steps. As a plus, the gents is much roomier then the tiny one downstairs (and being Heathers, there weren't all that many men competing to use it).

The lower two levels were pretty full, but the Upper Circle was more sparsely populated (it is closed some nights), so I was able to sit in a nice central seat with a clear view. The downsides, leg room is terrible (a girl nearby was putting her legs over the seats in front), and there's a light that blocks the centre of the upper level of the set, so I think almost all of the Upper Circle is restricted view.

Positives, all very enjoyable, excellent touring cast, nice to see the whole stage, the cast managed to fill the large stage, the sound quality is excellent and perfectly balanced. Downsides, the lighting did not follow the action as well as I'd have expected, I couldn't see Steve, the atmosphere just doesn't compare to The Other Palace, no end of banging of doors and seats at the back.

I was questioning myself about whether Jacob was JD or not (partly due to the distance and my vision, plus I think he's been working on his body). He played JD so differently to when I've seen him before. Wonderful voice, but I felt he'd camped things up a bit too much. Still, he's up there with the best of the JDs.

Lovely tribute at the end and some gasps from audience members who had not heard the news about Bill Kenwright (along with many, I expect, who had no idea who he was). But the whole week of shows are dedicated to Bill's memory.

I'll be back on Thursday evening in the Stalls (although not at the very front - amazing really how much they're able to sell the tickets in Wimbledon for compared to at The Other Palace).

Is Wimbledon ATG? They’re always more expensive. I think they were upselling it with snacks at the Liverpool Empire, but at Theatr Clwyd earlier this year I sat on the front row for a tenner.

News incoming! Any guesses?

I think
U.K. Tour(Again!)🤣

Desperately hoping it's just being streamed somewhere more accessible for more people :') I'm not a fan of Heathers, but even for the people who are, I feel like they should allow some room for people to really miss is, and then bring it back. It hasn't been gone long enough. Apparently they also pay their actors' terribly too.

I’m thinking London rather than a tour, but it’s not clear from the teaser.

This 😂

With this opening in a Kenwright venue, and opening in just a few months, with no further venues announced today, this feels like it might be opportunistic rather than planned.
