Are shows carrying more understudies now I wonder. Also shows which began in the West End are often scaled back cast wise on tour but some shows you can't really cut too much back.Perhaps its not the time for "challenging new work" in the commercial theatre. If producers are nursing big losses are there some fan favourites they could wheel out for a bit to help balance the books?
Even in pre pandemic times, commercial producers producing challenging new work was very rare unless you’re Sonia Friedman or Nica Burns and even in Sonia’s case, a lot of the new work she produced originally came from the subsided theatres.
