I'm hoping they extend the lawn screenings through September, maybe then i'll consider going because I could do a pretty cheap theatre weekend with that and Sleepless.

I'm sorry i'm getting aggravated by this snooker thing. Firstly, social media is up in arms and circulating pictures that aren't even from this years event. Secondly, whilst I don't get the who mask thing, that is a strange thing, there WAS social distancing, the capacity was reduced to 300 from 900, anywhere it looks like a lot of people are sitting together then that is a social bubble. Thirdly about the outcry that they have the audacity to put this test event on in a theatre.....The Crucible has housed this championship and others for getting on 50 years and is far more globally famous as a snooker venue than as a playhouse...... Finally, Theatre is literally allowed to do the same thing/ and not just as a test like this was, but as standard (minus the mask wearing for some reason) and is doing so from next week with the Sleepless musical.
I'm all for speaking out about getting theatre back and any injustices that impacts that but can we actually make sure we know the facts before kicking off, or at least not spreading false pictures and information?

To be honest this looks like it's going to be close to the full show?

I wasn't sure about the song when the first snippets were released but the more that's been revealed and especially now with the full orchestrated version there I really like it.

Oh that's good news.
Isn't it weird though the way that next year is basically going to be everything a lot of us thought we would be seeing this year!

Just to warn you all if you’ve not yet watched the final. Netflix have really helpfully used a screen grab for that particular episode when you choose it from the list. Said screen grab? Oh just a queen. Holding a sceptre. Therefore showing you who wins. Clang. Way round it might be to go from the previous episode and scroll through so the final autoplays from there. I noticed the same thing. What a stupid mistake.

Did the run sell out? Do they only sell tickets for a certain amount of time?
I just tried going on went on website to have a look and it just auto refers you to queue it page saying the booking event has ended?

Don't worry, no bad news! Probably should have made that clearer in the title! Bit of a random post but if Curve happens to be your local theatre or even it's just a theatre you enjoy visiting and seeing shows at, can you please make yourselves known in the replies? The reason will become apparent when I chat to you!

That is amazing for Danielle. I saw her in The Color Purple at Curve in what I think was her first major role, and she was the stand out performer for me, I just knew she would go on to great things. I was sad to never see her as Juliet and guess I won't now!

Good on them for doing this, but how on Earth is this worthwhile when they are employing the same number of people but with a massively reduced capacity ? Have a horrible feeling this will go the way of Six, and be cancelled. Really hope not though of course, this void of live theatre is really bloody depressing. Are they employing the same amount of people? It's a concert version, there probably won't be any of the ensemble. Just the main characters. Also they can probably produce it with a much more streamline crew. For the venue, a reduced capacity also means reduced staffing levels.

I would love to go and see it and be at a theatre again but I feel iffy about travelling a long distance on a train and tube to see something. If it was local I'd be straight there but with this I might have to give it some thought.

What do people do with their tickets? I had the idea yesterday of maybe picking some outand making some kind of wall art/collage out of them to frame and put up.

I love Jujubee. Is she the most polished queen there? No. But I'd love her to win.

I too saw the TurnUp concert last night and was blown away - so well organised and some brilliant performances - too many to list here. As a big Hairspray fan, I adored the 4 Motormouths doing I Know Where Ive Been. It was so slick and we'll done. They honestly should put it on Netflix or the BBC or something.

I don't know if anyone is watching or bought tickets for other streams of the TurnUp concert but i'd highly recommend it. It's sensational. I mean, sensational. The whole thing is of the highest quality. It brought tears to my eyes at times and some of the performances were stunning. It also included some very unique things like a performance of For Good by a black Glinda (from Broadway) and black Elphaba (Alexia Khadime) which i think is the first time that has happened and the coming together of 4 of the Motormouth Maybelles from Hairspray.
The team behind it did an absolutely amazing job putting it together and it was really powerful.

Do you have a big collection? Do you buy something from each show or trip? Do you have things on display?
The only thing I normally get is a programme. They then end up in boxes under the bed hardly ever to be looked at again, but I just can't go to see something without buying one, I just need to mark I've been and seen it with a programme. I'd feel weird not getting one now.
Other than that I don't generally buy anything, though I'm starting to wish I did have a little more of a theatre collection to subtly show off rather than a load of dusty programmes hidden away.
Maybe once it's back up and running i'll start with something like pins.

Really? We have been crying out for a financial package, which not everyone was even confident we would get at all, and we've just had one announced that is actually higher than most people even predicted or hoped for and yet the only response by some is to start comparing it to Germany? Or start complaining about the potential allocations? Or make digs about it being leaked?
Can people not just be pleased and grateful that we finally actually have something in place that will help?
Honestly.

I really liked Urinetown, I wished it did a bit better in the West End.

This seems pretty pathetic. Well no figures are mentioned there so it seems a bit early to call it pathetic. Also what is wrong with loans and grants? Those things will still help save theatres and organisations. I'm going to wait and see what exactly is announced and how much is offered before making a judgement. Regrading the no theatre till next year thing, well I hardly think that is a surprise, most places have already begun to cancel their shows for later this year and Christmas anyway and at least a concrete announcement to that effect will mean that no money is being spent on shows that will not be going ahead, which is the case currently in many cases.
