Surely dates should’ve been announced by now It might have gone the same way as the young Frankenstein tour…

The & Juliet socials have posted an announcement coming tomorrow at 10 - I imagine it's the dates for the tour.

I'm so glad about this. You know looking back, I really think that &Juliet is a contender for one of my fave shows, looking back it's probably one of the shows I've most enjoyed and best theatre experiences I've had, I really enjoyed it, especially the first time, I remember it just filling me with joy and coming out the theatre so happy and connected to the show. I didn't have much expectation going in and was very intrigued how it would all work on stage but had such a blast and was so impressed with what they did. I'd love the chance to see it again with presumably a new cast so hopefully it comes close to me. It was starting to feel the boat had passed with this and we probably wouldn't get a tour which would have been a shame as I think it will go down really as a touring show, so really glad it's happening.

I completely agree. It was a joyous experience, particularly post covid when we needed all the joy we could get. I miss it, and will definitely return to see it on tour.

I just hope it's not downsized for the tour. No real reason it should be, but these things often are

It'll be scaled down. Won't tour with a revolve etc I would imagine.

(Clearly I'm in the minority here but) when I saw this early into its runs I thought this was nothing special.

As long as Miriam stays away, I can't wait for it to tour.

Nice to see this is beginning at the Opera House in Manchester again. Meant to go and see Tom Francis’ Romeo but could never justify the expense. Might go when it gets to Liverpool depending who’s in it.
Is that the Broadway artwork they’re using?

They are using the broadway artwork, video and photos for all the advertising I have seen this morning for some reason.

Can all of those theatres handle a revolve?, Will there be a revolve? Some very short stays on that schedule.

Certainly in the first year. I did see Grace abd she fell completely flat by comparison. Zero charisma.

I did see Grace abd she fell completely flat by comparison. Zero charisma. I'd agree with this. Even later in the run Miriam when was definitely vocally strained, I far preferred her to Grace. Like you say, thought Grace was lacking in charisma. Thought Roshani Abbey was good though.

Zara Macintosh was the best in my opinion, I think she “got” the character the most, delivered the humour the best, and her voice was the best suited to the pop sound of the score.

Surely nobody ever eclipsed Cassidy? I saw someone at the Shaftesbury who was a very poor imitation.

Miriam got better by the end of the run, but her singing was mediocre. I´m afraid she´ll most likely do the tour, given the producers love her.

The Miriam hate surprises me. I never saw her in & Juliet, but did see her in Hamilton and On The Town and she was brilliant both times, amazing vocals.

Oh she was great, but she just totally wrecked her voice by the end of the run and it just sounded...rough.

Zara… THE perfect Juliet. adored her. Grace was fine, no charisma, quite bland . Roshani was a gorgeous Juliet, bessy was a sweet ball of chaos .
Miriam was… Miriam.
And no, she absolutely didn’t sound good in those last few months but weeks especially and I was there a lot.
