I think the Romeo and Juliet rush for tickets today has overshadowed this, I think tickets go on sale at 10am today with the show name also being announced

Memories of seeing this with Toyah Wilcox at the Shaftesbury when the theatre was half empty!

This didn't get any traction!
Has anyone seen it before? I recognised the name but only know what I've read on Wiki!

I don’t know…turning the theatre into a circus could work… True. I saw it at the Menier and not that keen on seeing it again. Probably will get bums on seats though and I do always like to see what they do in such a small space!

Announced today that it's Barnum. Can't say I am excited by that!

I think I prefer the old name. At least you kinda knew what it was going to be about. I didn't think that was the name of the show. I think it said the show name will be confirmed on 13th Feb

There's a thread already started for this but with the name used in the workshop 'Why am I so Single?' 🙂

I thought Totoro was expensive, but the seat I paid £107 for recently is now £175 for Kiss Me Kate. OUCH

My friend got one seat so must just have been lucky as I couldn't find any!

Don't know if just luck but for those struggling it might be worth trying again. I forgot so just logged on now. Said I was queue number 12250. Wait time one minute and got through and bought tickets without any gitching and have received the confirmation email!

I went to watch this tonight for the last show in Nottingham before it goes to Ally Pally. I thought the set was excellent- perhaps the best I've seen at The Playhouse - and some of the special effects were good.
Otherwise though I found it quite boring. I haven't seen it on stage before but obviously know the story but just thought it was a bit flat. I didn't rate Keith Allen either.
The audience however seemed to love it so perhaps it is just me. Bah humbug!

It's interesting that DEH's tour is being done by a regional theatre and not the original producers. Yeah, ATG are also co-producing it

It's going to be quite the year for Nottingham Playhouse and Adam Penford. The world premiere of James Graham's The Punch in May, then this new production of Dear Evan Hanson in September. Oh I'd missed it being James Graham, interesting! It is certainly a more exciting year than usual. They also have a co production of Minority Report by David Haig and The Trials that was seen at the Donmar last year!

I actually don't mind the artwork. I think they've gone for a Heartstopper vibe.
Interesting to see it is a Nottingham Playhouse production as they don't do loads of musicals

I wasn't going to book this but given what many have said on here, finally bitten the bullet. Managed to book for the last show for a reasonable (well not really but in comparison to what is left in the stalls) price. Excited to see it now.

Easy booking process. Compared to other shows pleasantly surprised by the ticket prices!

I think I might be off to Plymouth. Top price seats £65 rather than £175 at the Dominion. Bargain!

Easy to get through to the booking page straight away now. Albeit I saw the prices for half decent seats and have decided against booking yet!

The advert on Facebook says "18 years since first opening in London"... Am I going mad? It opened in 2009 didn't it? It was definitely 2009! I thought so. How could they not get it right...

This doesn’t look good at all. Guessing it’s sold out so doesn’t matter really, except for Ken’s ego. Yep albeit isn't it transferring for an Autumn 2024 season somewhere in New York?

Gracious Nothing other than the dreaded 3 stars so far Guardian WOS Telegraph Independent Time Out NYT states it is “shallow” Not ideal for a great Shakespearean actor really 3 stars from WhatsonStage too with the final line 'The only consolation is that he is tackling it so early, he can always have another go.'... The Daily Mail meanwhile has given a brutal 1 star!
