Why would they bring this show back out over 2 years after it was onstage? Seems so random

They've seen the success of other recent cinema showings I presume?
I loved this show so am happy I will get to see it again.

So has anyone figured out if this is the Savoy version or touring? This thread implies it was filmed in London and on tour so I'm curious. I know which version I would prefer it to be. It was filmed at The Palace MCR in the final week of the tour.

Seems so random To start with it’s only actually been a year since the tour finished and secondly it will probably sell better than other stage screenings of musicals because it has a celebrity in it and people who missed Sheridan in London and on tour might want to see what her performance was like.

Sheridan's performance was fantastic.

I completely agree, I saw Sheridan pre-meltdown so can't comment on after, but I thought she slayed. She was amazing.

I can confirm she was equally sensational post “meltdown”!
If anything, all the sh*t she went through probably helped her to channel the emotion for Act II Fanny even more.

I didn't get to see Sheridan at the Menier or Savoy so I'd be very happy to see her rendition of it! Will be pencilling this into the diary so I don't forget it!

It was filmed at The Palace MCR in the final week of the tour. That's a shame, I had hopes for it being the Savoy version since it was mentioned that that was filmed too. I guess maybe it was just archive filming at the Savoy then. Might see it but won't be able to know if I'm free then till much nearer the time.

I didn’t see the tour - but didn’t Darius take over as Nick on tour part way through? So it will at least be the two Savoy leads? I know that’s not the same as full cast...
And I saw Sheridan pre and post - there was almost something more wonderful about it post. You could see how much it all meant to her even more.

Darius alternated the role of Nick throughout the tour with Chris Peluso. Alot of dates had Natasha and Darius, and Sheridan and Chris paired, but as the tour went on Darius and Sheridan did more shows together and completed the run in Manchester together. So presumably, this filming will have Sheridan and Darius.

Chris Peluso only lasted the first few weeks of the tour if I remember correctly. Don’t think the reason he was no longer with it ever became public knowledge,

Was it "technical difficulties"?

He was only really functional in the role at best. I can imagine Darius being great and wish we’d had him in Bristol. He has that ‘salesman’ vibe to him that Arnstein needs. Chris Peluso did not have this.

I was certainly no fan of Darius before the tour but he was wonderful in this show. Perfect casting.

Chris Peluso did not have this. Totally. When Darius made his first appearance in that evening suit there was an audible gasp/ooh! from the audience. This did not happen with Chris Peluso who was a very inadequate replacement as far as I was concerned. We lost Joel Montague from the tour too, which was a shame.

Booked for the cinema for next Wednesday - after much dithering I decided on Harrow, a local for me. I saw the filmed "Company" there and the sound was out of sync, very distracting ... I may ditch that ticket and look elsewhere, but it hadn't sold many and I'm a b*tch about people in cinemas generally with phones and the like.

Our live relay in Hackney (and other reports) was terrible and I got complimentary tickets for the follow up re-broadcast wheich was technically sound. (Apologies if you do mean Company).

There was an American production that was filmed, I don't know how widely it was distributed to UK cinemas though.

Yes, the American one with Jon Cryer & Neil Patrick Harris (quick google, 2011) ... It came across really well on the big screen but I couldn't watch the faces, had to watch the shirts as the visual of mouths opening and different words coming out was hurting my brain ..

A second clip has been released, this time of the scene leading up to Don't Rain on My Parade.

Has there been any mention of whether or not they will release a DVD/Blu ray of this at some point? Really hope so as it's not playing at any theatres in my area.

It's £22 at both my local cinemas. I hardly ever go to the cinema so Dont know about prices. Is that expensive?

I think it's expensive, compared to what I paid to see this in the theatre (and even compared with films), but that's the going rate.

Ah well. Guess it's one last chance to see the show that I loved.
