Does anyone know about the Garrick? Curious as I know For Black Boys has extended four weeks, but might they get something to fill the June/July gap between this and Why Am I So Single? announcing Very Soon Is it another Kenny Wax show? He seems to singlehandedly fill Nimax venues.

Clive Davis from The Times was in last night. He'll probably hammer it.

I am at a loss as to what to say. No wait This is the most appalling show I think I’ve ever seen. Was it deliberately created to test the audiences patience? (As well as rip them off) The timeless, witless music and lyrics are the worst I’ve ever heard. If they ever record it (they won’t… can’t… MUST’NT) it could be used to torture people. Sheridan’s ‘singing ‘ was absolutely painful. She can’t sing and this exposes her terribly. A load of tuneless screeching. Even Audra McDonald couldn’t sell these songs though to be fair. What is her character supposed to be? What is the point in all this? I felt embarrassed for every single person on stage. What on earth must they all be thinking- looking out at the dead eyed audience- slowly losing the will to live? There are some seriously talented people on that stage. None of them deserve this. The audience reaction was bewilderment throughout. The shameless curtain call is perhaps the single most mortifying thing I’ve ever seen on a stage. No we won’t get up and clap. No it wasn’t good. Stop trying to engineer a standing ovation. I hated every single moment of this show and I hope it closes the day after reviews come out. I’d rather Thriller Live go into this theatre than this. At least that would give an audience some entertainment and joy. Ivo Van Hove and Rufus Wainwright should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. But did you like it? Ha, God, I wonder will this last?

I’m sorry but drunkenly slagging off a show mid show is not au fait. Especially when you’re in the second row of stalls! I beg people to get some decorum. Ah no, the cast don't need that sh*te!

I wonder where the Donmar Macbeth is going. My guess is the Gielgud in September before Oliver comes in. Or possibly the Harold Pinter after THOC. Is this definitely going somewhere? Yes it's transferring.

What´s next for the Gielgud? Opening Night ends mid-summer, surely something else should go there in August. Frank Skinner is returning for 3 weeks between 5th and 24th August.

Sad this isn’t extending. A summer filler for the GL to be announced any day now. Just announced the return of The Wizard of Oz as part of its UK tour from 15 August for 4 weeks Hopefully this means that SATSE will complete its scheduled run til 3rd August

You've got to hand it to IMcK. His commitment to touring is exceptional.

lol. Guess the “sign up for priority access” was pointless. I got the booking link because I signed up on the ATG website, don't think it was specifically for ATG plus members.

I'm curious about the next sohoplace show. I imagine they will be announcing soon due to the limited run for Red Pitch, but nonetheless interested to see what they might do. Would love to see them take on another classic like Medea, recent shows have been more contemporary I wouldn't be at all surprised if Till the Stars Come Down transferred there at some point this year.

That is really sad to hear. If not extending, is it coming off early? I have booked for 19th June and hope it holds out until then.

Yes it’s soap opera, but the performances elevate it to a higher level in my opinion. Absolutely. They are truthful characters. You get right inside their skin. You believe in every bit of it because they are so expertly drawn and brilliantly acted. And that is what has moved so many people about this play.

Rory, do you feel the pricing systems work for your planning? Well it just means that if it's something I really want to see, I have to book in advance at often wild prices and can't leave it to chance for a last minute deal.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane was the last to tour, I think.

This finished yesterday at the Dorfman. One of my favourite theatre experiences of all time. It has to be transferring, surely?

That new poster art is terrible. Also racially a bit awkward Which agency is responsible?

It did generate interest. I went to the Old Vic site just after their performance to check the casting and there was a queue of 2 600 at that point.

I wasn't madly impressed by the Comic Relief performance. You're not alone, based on social media I see what you mean! Yikes. I'm sure Opening Night is grateful for the deflection.

Davina has just said on Comic Relief that this will be going to the West End. Would this fit in the Harold Pinter?
