I really enjoyed this when I went a few weeks ago. Definitely worth seeing. I sat front row at the side which wasn't the best seat in the house but no complaints.

Love, love, loved this today.
What a creatively staged, beautiful piece of theatre. Booked this ages ago and was slightly concerned by the lack lustre reviews but it was glorious and extremely moving and not at all mawkish. Thought Kelsey and the whole company were superb. Lots of tears on stage and off. It was filmed this afternoon too. I would love to see this have a second life. Clearly an audience favourite if not a critics.

Seeing it tomorrow for the first of my Christmas four show binge (five if you include Sooty)
Extract on the RVP made me even more excited to see it

Alas this sadly looks like one that may pass me by.
According to the website this is now completely sold out.
Grr!

If you're bothered enough to keep checking the website, seats have been popping back up fairly regularly. For instance, both shows tomorrow were sold out but then both had seats come back up today, and are now sold out again. |

I do wish they extended this, did another run or transferred. Sadly I think along with Carrie, CandleMakers Daughter and Dogfight it will go down in my musicals memory as one of the good shows that never found another life  ((( |

Is there a cast recording available at the theatre and how much is it please ? No cast recording yet, but I've heard through the grapevine they have/are recording one.  For the Other Palace cast? I’d like this version of the recording as the 2014 broadway recording is quite different. I overheard an usher telling a friend that they are optimistic this will transfer into town and Heathers will be appear in the main house soon too. |

Saw the matinee today. Lovely show. Feel you need to see it in entirety for it to fully make sense. In the early stages it may feel a bit bonkers. Plenty of hankies out at the end.
Delayed start to the 2nd half. Out of interest do daffodil petals normally fall from above the stage. A few odd petals fell down during the show but nothing of note.
Quite a few empty seats despite it being sold out.

Saw the final performance this afternoon. 4th time and I enjoy it more each time I see it.
Got hooked on the musical originally by the excellent Arts Ed production last year which was similarly staged on a small scale.
By the way,this is the second time I've noticed that the audience guy who gets 'picked on'in the Act 1 circus sequence is missing for Act 2. Wondered if this was just a coincidence.

Listening to the Broadway Cast Recording. Still cry at Daffodils and the Finale. I really hope we see this show again at some point soon. Way too underrated, the most underrated of last year. The critics are dicks. I'm still pissed.

I believe that a future life for the show is planned, but it's very early days.

I wasn’t so convinced I’m afraid. It was a pleasant production, but it wasn’t by any means one that I’d rush back to. I thought a lot of the plot events were far too random.
Fantastic if it is coming back for those who enjoyed it, but personally it wasn’t anything more than an alright show with an emotional scene at the end.

I saw this tonight at Stockwell Playhouse and enjoyed it even more than I did at The Other Palace. I'm fairly sure it's an amateur production, but if so premier league amateur in every respect.
Running till Saturday and well worth a visit.
