I don't think I've ever seen so many musicals running in the West End concurrently with fairytale/fantasy at their heart.
How do you think the audience will align?
I reckon 'Frozen' has child pester-power sewn up, and 'Back to the future' has retro nostalgia in the bag (making it surprisingly okay for dragged-to-theatre dads).
Is 'Cinderella' on tougher ground, being too offbeat for some families, while young adults want '& Juliet' and 'Six' more?
Is 'Mary Poppins' the safe one kids get taken to, but might have been more excited elsewhere?
Positive ideas - rather than which will fold first:
Twitter reaction to 'Cinderella' suggests word of mouth v good, but price it to sell every seat - and not just via offers only obsessive theatregoers know about.

Judging by the demographic of the audience when I saw it, young adults and their mothers and grandmothers all want Six.

They've got the teenage flame market covered with Heathers.
They all get dressed up in the cooler of their favourite Heather and throw their scrunchies/hairbands at the stage during the bows.
I mean it's got it all- the popular girls, feelings of isolation, flirtation, falling in love with dramatic consequences, fit boys in their underpants, murder, gay love- most of the things young teenage girls go through and can relate to.
Is there anything I've missed?
i mean it covers it all, doesn't it?
