What a clever idea Tom Jones/ Tom Jones ? and Luke Shepard is the perfect guy to direct it.

^Already sold on this...love the artwork...never been to the Playhouse in Leeds so that will be fun providing I don’t get rejected at the Yorkshire border for my ‘Coronation Street’ accent 😆

Runs in the Quarry Theatre from 23 September to 31 October, with press night on 1 October. I wonder if Sir Tom himself will be there, by which time he will be 80!

Bit scared by Arlene Phillips choreographing it. Her best years are behind her to put it politely.

Front row stalls ticket sorted for the first Saturday matinee. Well I hope the Playhouse are going to put a warning on the seat behind - "Restricted view due to constant dancing". 🕺🙂

Front row stalls ticket sorted for the first Saturday matinee. For £14, an absolute bargain. That’s a bargain indeed. Not just preview pricing either, it seems to be £14 all through the run. Im going the week after, gone for a bit further back in the centre section. Well, I had a theatretoken so it was free, sort of 😁

Email today saying they’ve been unable to reschedule so far and offering the money back. It didn’t say it wasn’t going to happen, but seems doubtful. I’ve taken the £50.

I didn't realise this was a jukebox musical based on a book, not a bio-musical. Sounds much more interesting now! Plus it looks like a pretty solid cast with Bronte Barbe and Kelly Price.

Could be dreadful but seems like a really smart, funny concept.

Harry Kershaw being in the cast should bring in the Mischief Theatre fans!

Is it intending to move elsewhere after? I made the trip to the REP once to see Little Voice with Nancy Sullivan . its a short walk from Bham New Street station , but would rather not venture that far again now?

The first ever performance 🎭 and omg 😱 what a performance it was .. there was certainly anticipation and excitement in the air ... even before it began .. but there was true theatre magic @ Birmingham rep tonight ... from the opening scene to the last note to the immediate full and well deserved standing ovation ! A real colourful fabulous fun quality journey through the English countryside to swinging 60s vibrant London via Birmingham !! Well done all involved bringing some well deserved sunshine after rain Such a polished performance for first preview ... dame Arlene came on before the show with the director ... wasn’t a weak cast member on that stage such a talented cast The 2 main characters were extra fabulous. Tom Jones is ❤️❤️😋😍... loved the set design and Lighting. Great use of projections just enough to add an extra layer to a gorgeous set choreography was fab such energy The show Had lots of humour. Tongue firmly in cheek
I can honestly say it’s the best night out at a theatre I’ve had in a long time bravo all at Birmingham rep. Made in Birmingham x 👍❤️

Enjoyed it so much I booked again !! I think the 6th preview this time . A full house again a couple of changes I noticed only small ones and one or two trimmed down scenes Started 10mins late but if on time finish time is 9.50 pm now
Wanted to see the audience reactions with a regular audience. Not first preview with family and friends etc
Omg electric atmosphere from beginning to end a real tight show definitely no baggage 🧳 here
Some real standout moments especially I who have nothing before interval And big Mickey after the interval bought the house down and stops the show And mary has a fab voice too But lots more too dot & mr partridge are comedy gold and fabulous song and dance numbers
There really isn’t any weak link in this show
And the live band is second to none. Plenty of cheers and applause after the show for them too
Immediate full standing ovation again last night even before. The last song had finished ! And everyone kept standing for the bows and the reprise song Came out smiling ear to ear again and felt so uplifted Bravo Birmingham Rep Made in brum.
