I did wonder if there was an element of ‘vocal rest’ going on to be certain things were going to be fine for the broadcast/recording. Ball and Boe also have a TV special to record too That's not being recorded until December 13th, well after this show ends.

Yes but what is the answer if they cannot transfer the date of the ticket (of course you'd never be 100% sure the favourite star/s would be on on the rescheduled date either)
Partial refund? Full refund?
I genuinely do not know.

I disagree.
The dates that people were due to be off were clearly shown on the booking pages.
When illness sweeps through a company and lots are off at the same time then there is little they can do about it.
If it hadn't been selling well then they could have possibly transferred people to another date but it's totally sold out so that is not an option.

It is hard to know what the answer is.
If it was a normal performance then no cause for complaint but it has been billed as the "all star Les Mis".

There must be a better way to display the news than this. It looks pretty terrible!

What's the harm in that?
Worse interests to have.

Lucie has said before that she is eager to play Elphaba. Waitress closes on July 4th, and the next Wicked cast change is July 18th. Would it fit for her to do Wicked next year? I think it's only a matter of time.

Let's be honest, the target audience for kids show aren't going to be influenced or put off by reviews in the likes of Telegraph.
The very positive word of mouth on social media will be what gets them in.

Were both scheduled to be on today?
If you are advertising an event like a Ball and Boe concert you can get away with it a bit if one of them is on, but both of them off is something else.

Just thought id let everyone know that the OG Elphaba - Idina Menzel is performing tonight 16/11/19 at G-A-Y Heaven. I feel its gonna be busy because she is such a well-known broadway legend but yeah !!! It was the Frozen 2 European premiere tonight, held in South London. I stumbled across it and saw Idina walk down the white carpet. My inner Elphaba fangirl rejoiced!

What a small world. I was in that very seat for the matinée the next day!
Seen it many times before and still as wonderful. We loved Charlie. Such a likeable guy.

So pleased for Joel. Fantastic performer.
Any show lucky enough to have him in the cast should be shouting it from the rooftops!

I wonder if he will be doing his radio show tomorrow morning? Strangely enough he’s not missing his free lunch at the Savoy... and he sounds far from Ill. The way Ball, Boe and Mackintosh treat the high ticket price theatre goer is beyond disgusting. Are you seriously complaining about someone giving up lots of their time of a day off to do a load of things to raise loads of money for Children in Need?!

It is a shame.
I'm not an Alfie Boe fan particularly but if I had booked especially to see him I would be upset.
I have lots of favourite performers from leads to ensemble to swings and if I go and see a snow they are in and they are not on I am disappointed. That's not to say the understudies/alternatives are not fantastic because they are but it's natural to be disappointed. I'd never dream of sending tweets telling the performer how angry I am, berating staff members in the lobby or demanding refunds because that is ridiculous. It's live theatre. It happens, but this whole narrative going around berating Alfie fans for being upset he isn't on is pretty ridiculous!

I'm sure there's a huge difference between performing one song and doing a 2 and a half hour concert (and isn't Thursday JOJ'S day anyway?)
