How much longer does this run for? I wonder if they'll be relieved to end it, it seems to have been a continuous disaster. A shame for everyone.

What’s the reason they are giving for last night’s cancellation and tonight’s abandoned performance?
I’m due to see it this week, but looks like I will need to just keep fingers crossed, check before travelling and would rather not waste the travel expenses especially if it is abandoned at the interval.
What’s really going on?

What’s really going on? “Reduced cast numbers” was the reason we were given for yesterday’s cancellation. Received a text & then email at about 3.45 offering credit voucher or refund. |

Cancelling halfway through is just so unusual. Are people falling ill at the interval?

After the incorrect rumours about a major player departing the company (and then they were on after all) I thought this show might finally have stabilised for the completion of the run. It's a big company - surely by now a male and a female company member could have been readied to go on with the book to cover any major absences. Audiences get hugely onside in such circumstances.
What on earth is going on?

Thanks for giving the information on cancellations jamb0r and PJ.
Something really is going badly wrong when several performances have been abandoned mid-show. Really bad PR for the Young Vic also for what was a prestige project.

Tonight we were just told ‘circumstances beyond our control’ We had a few covers on (including Mandela) but everything seemed to go fine in the first half As we left at the interval, we saw an ambulance and a paramedic bike outside the door so think they may have had a medical emergency. Hope everyone is okay. |

Saturday evening’s performance cancelled - notified by text and email just before 115pm. Credit voucher given but have applied for refund. Reason given: “Unfortunately due to reduced company numbers we are very sorry to have to cancel tonight’s performance.”

I’m hopefully going tonight - email has arrived welcoming to my visit……fingers crossed it’s on. Sounds like it’s worth keeping an eye on emails this afternoon though.

A book will be written about this show one day. Forgive the old thread bump, but I was thinking back on this and wondering if any more had come to light about the multiple issues this one faced? |
