After looking for tickets to various shows for a trip in a couple of weeks I'm so intrigued to know why I can get a seat at Frozen for less than the very back row of the circle for Cinderella...
Just out of interest what is the back row of the circle like for this?

Two big ones I remember is one time at Waitress where a bit of pie went missing for a scene where Jenna had to serve Earl a piece, poor KMP went to get this pie and nothing was there and she literally just stood silently on the stage for what seemed liked 5 minutes but was probably only 30 seconds or so kinda not knowing what on earth to do before the actress that played Dawn in character said "I'm going to get that damn pie!!" and walked into the wings and came back out with it! Another big one was at &Juliet where for the big scene where Romeo descends from above the stage and he got stuck halfway down and the music stopped and he was just hanging there and said "this has never happened before" and then the curtain went down and a show stop for about 20 minutes.

I'm glad to see Nathaneal Landskroner cast in this, I know him from a lot of Curve Leicester shows. Though have to say he seems way too young for Dr P and Earl, i'm pretty sure he's only early twenties and looks that age too. That will be interesting to see if it reads that way on stage if/when he goes on.

How very interesting. Fits with Mr B's info that the Satine was American too.
Very interesting bit of casting there that I doubt many people, if anyone, thought of.

Seems to be getting a much better reception here than it did in America. Have there been a lot of changes?

I wonder how well it will sell, it's not really a big name musical for just the regular joe on the street is it? Or maybe it is known but is seen as too stagey. Plus they haven't cast a star name to draw those people in. But that's a good thing and I'm glad they are doing this musical because a) it's about time and b) it's very fitting for this time, just wondering how popular it will be.

I thought they might try and get a biggish MT name for Sheila as well but I'm sure the actress they cast will be wonderful too.

Interesting! I think Carly's great, but what is she like as a dancer? She doesn't do much of it in Anything Goes given the character she plays. Music and the Mirror is such a great piece when done well so fingers crossed she is as good a dancer as she is a singer and actress (and comedienne)! Excellent dancer. Prior to Anything Goes she was cast in a lot of dance led roles and in ensembles and of course played Anita in West Side at Curve.

Few questions because I want to come see this but I've never been to Manchester and I'm a bit funny about walking in places I don't know on my own at night. So how easy (and safe) is it to get from Hope Mill back to Piccadilly station?

A lot of criticism about a production most people haven't actually seen yet again.

Where are the rush tickets for this usually? Can you get decent seats?

I'm quite happy to put things like this aside, it's her personal choice. I don't agree with her choice but I'm not going to let that stop me going to see something I want to see at the theatre. It's also pretty different to not have the vaccine for medical reasons, however ridiculous they may seem, than because you don't believe in Covid in the first place or think the vaccine is some kind of chip or tracking device. The latter and I might draw the line.
Also, how many people have served you a coffee or food or at the supermarket who haven't had a vaccine? Very many I imagine. Are you going to boycott those businesses or call for them to be closed because some of the staff haven't had a vaccine? Come on now. How far does this then go? Are we going to then be having a go at Jeremy and all the cast that agreed to work with her? All her friends? Boycott the show just for hiring her? I mean it just gets absurd.

Think of the history your cheese will enjoy sitting on though.

I adored the film but I must say I've not seen it in many many years. I always thought though it would make a great stage musical and so I'm vert excited it's come to fruition. I will refrain from watching the film again so I'm coming into it more fresh when I see it in October and not comparing it too much.

I didn't have a reminder either and was wondering if that was normal.
As said above though, given how important and relevant it is, people really should be keeping track of it themselves anyway.

It's a shame there isn't anything on at the other theatres at the moment I'm interested in because I don't think I can justify a trip and overnight just for this one show. It's also a waste just to go for a matinee seeing as I've never been to Manchester before, I'd like to explore if/when I go and it about 3 and a half hours each way travel for me so that's not ideal.

Not been on this forum for so long but popped on to read people's thoughts of opening night. Alas nobody else from the board seems to have been there. This is the show I always wanted to be made into a musical and what they have produced is quite extraordinary. Perhaps, if anything, too ambitious as there is so much that can go wrong every night as the set is very elaborate for a touring production. There is loads going on onstage so I can only imagine what is going on off stage to keep it all moving. Literally. I won't post any spoilers but it really is the best touring production you will see this year and the leads are perfectly cast. Dianne Pilkington a sarcastic, sassy Eglantine and Charles Brunton a bumbling, excentric Professor are a dream pairing. The ensemble work their socks off from beginning to end and you would think there was double the cast there is the amount of roles and jobs they have to do throughout. The magic is wonderful. There is so much humour and heart. I absolutely adored it. Great to get a report back from the show. Very excited to see the show. Nice to see you back.

Presumably these questions were asked at the time of booking her for this though? No?

Help from you lovely people.
For this show and venue would you go back of dress or front(ish) of upper?

DLAP Entertainment (Curtains, Rock of Ages Tour) had the rights for Bonnie & Clyde here and it was moving forward before Covid but don't know what the status is now.
I hope this concert isn't cancelled, it seems to me they could replace Laura with someone quite easily and it still be sold out, especially if it's another Broadway leading lady. I think Jeremy would always be the biggest draw anyway.
