They'd be better doing a late matinee, maybe 4pm on a Friday and then another at 8.

The matinee has been cancelled due to cast illness so I assume someone has got on a train to make tonight's show go ahead.

Victoria tweeted something the other day that it was always in her contract not to do the Sunday show. I assume she has school age children and she would like to spend some time with them during the week.

Could it not just be that when we get into the festive period the schedule goes a bit mad in shows anyway with extra matinées being added here there and everywhere so who is doing what show may not have been decided yet?

Plus it's also an access thing. The thought of finding myself being surrounded in the middle of one of those long rows with no middle aisle fills me with dread.

Oh is that all. Makes sense then.

Eddie and Jessie were talking about the show on the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show this morning. It was interesting to listen to. Eddie said due to the way it's all laid out there is "not a bad seat in the house".

It was very interesting to see in previews and watch the creative process. By the time they left Newcastle one song had been swapped and another scenes dialogue totally re-written.

Stoke has been cancelled unfortunately. Lucie's last dates are now Aberdeen.

I saw it in Sunderland last week and it did not sell well (both top tiers were closed), so this does not surprise me.
I was pleasantly surprised though. Lucie was great and Charlie made her Dawn debut.

I turned on the telly late and saw John Bishop caged by a giant talking dog and turned straight off again.

When fans are tweeting him and there are interactions occuring between them it's not quite the same when you find out it's not him but someone in an office somewhere. Obviously you expect all the big stuff to be controlled in some way.
It's not a dig against Marcus as I am a United fan.

I've been to a few of the Sheffield Christmas productions over the years and they have always been fantastic.

I'm in London in February for Camelot anyway so have booked the Sunday matinee of this beforehand.

They will be able to get away with spending any extra money at all, the girls night out crowd will be quite happy with the boys having their tops off! If this production keeps some rowdy theatre goers away from shows I want to see then I am happy.

Marcus' posts on social media are not done by him, they are all done by a PR company.

I hope to see The Drifters' Girl with my local U3A group. I'm old enough to remember their songs and they were very good. I would like to see a James Brown jukebox musical. The film biography" Get on Down"? was very good but then I am a fan of the Godfather of Soul. I am no fan of jukebox musicals and didn't really know much about The Drifters but I went along to see it in Newcastle out of curiosity and loved it. So much so I went back three more times! The performances from the cast are just incredible.

Special charity Gala night performance in aid of the Malala Fund scheduled for Monday 22nd November. Tickets currently £100 or £175. Think I’ll pass! I paid £45 for my ticket and thought that was too much! It's for charity! How can anyone think donating profits is bad.

Typical of musical theatre that anything goes (pardon the pun).
It's a disgraceful message for ITV to send out. Abuse is bad but in a musical theatre environment it's fine...
