Judging by the pictures of the set so far they seem to be going a bit 'arty' and 'concept' with it, it doesn't seem it's going to be a traditional set or something you might expect. Also with the orchestra. Generally Curve musicals have a fairly limited band but I've always thought the shows sound good regardless. I did see pics from the sitz though and the band actually seemed rather large so who knows.

When are you going Michael? Fri, 15th April + Sat, 16th April (both shows) Fri, 22th April + Sat, 23rd April (both shows) Unfortunately, I'm not free on any other weekend during their run, so I had to book two consecutive weekends. Otherwise, I'd have booked one weekend early in their run and one towards the end. I was going to go Saturday but no seats left take may fancy (I'm incredibly picky) . I may now go the Wednesday matinee after. I did book my tickets ridiculously early, even before the majority of the cast was announced, so I'm always *) front row. *) bar one, when it didn't let me book a single seat and I had to move to the second row.

Does anybody know when this "big news" will be announced? I would assume today on The Elaine Paige Show, but with her track record on such things the "big news" might be "mildly interesting news" or "news we've heard already news"

I'm hoping that it'll be news like a UK tour but I'm not gonna hold my breath!

Well that isn't bizarre news at all.......
Maybe Curve should concentrate on UK Tours and West End Transfers than sending their shows to Hong Kong and South Korea....i mean.

Hmmm, a very strange choice, I didn't see that coming at all!
Wonder when we're going to get some pictures of this production. I know it only played its first show last night but with all these peaks at the set I'm very curious!

Not happy with the news at all - wanted a UK tour but maybe the new production isn't good enough for a uk tour? Do you think it will tour after the Korea show?

Taking the show to Korea for 1-and-a-bit weeks...is it even worth it?! By the time they've paid to ship out the cast/crew/band/set etc for such a short run, how expensive are tickets going to have to be for this to make any money at all?!

Looking at the set, it doesn't look half as good as the original uk tour and London show set! It looks abit naff but I'm probably wrong. What's the chances it will tour after Korea?

Especially since they already had a Korean language production. Bizarre Racial stereotyping, perhaps, but I have to ask... in the Korean version, when the audience saw Bruiser in Elle's handbag, did they think she'd brought a packed lunch?!

Set a pink box with the band at the back of the stage behind a mesh screen and exposed briefly during the show. Trap with a lift at the back of the stage to raise performers and bits of set. Other set and furniture on trucks from the wings.
In good shape for only second preview. Energetic cast and choreography.Act 2 better than Act 1.
Mixed bag of lead performances.
