Love Christina from BooH. Any chance the Westside version extends past September? My guess is it would have to change theaters?
It would definitely have to change theatre and they would have to find someone else to play J.D if there is an extension as Jordan will be contracted to return to &Juliet, which re-opens 24th September.
I must admit, this casting really excites me, Christina and Jordan were both great in Bat and can see Christina being a very good Veronica. Jodie's return as Chandler was no real surprise as I had my suspicions this would happen when she announced she wasn't returning to the UK tour of Six.

I thought Moulin Rouge was opening in November? We believe it is, but no official date announcement as of yet.
The last major West End show to announce a re-opening date is Dear Evan Hansen.

With all the sporadic date announcements, I thought I'd create a list with all the planned re-opening dates so they are all in the one place. Apologies if I have missed any but I tried to cover as many as possible. All dates have been sourced from the official websites. I'll try and update if any dates change and once the last few remaining shows announce their plans, but I hope this helps people in the meantime.
& Juliet – 24th September Amélie – 20th May Back to the Future – 20th August The Book of Mormon – 15th November Cinderella – 25th June Come From Away – 22nd July Dear Evan Hansen – TBC Everybody’s Talking About Jamie – 20th May Frozen – 27th August Get Up, Stand Up The Bob Marley Musical – 1st October Hairspray – 22nd June Hamilton – TBC Heathers The Musical – 21st June Jersey Boys – 28th July Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat – 1st July The Last Five Years – 17th September Les Miserables (concert) – 20th May Les Miserables (full production) – 25th September The Lion King – 29th July Mamma Mia! – 25th August Mary Poppins – 23rd June Matilda -TBC Moulin Rouge – 5th October Only Fools and Horses – 1st October Pretty Woman – 8th July The Phantom of the Opera – 27th July The Prince of Egypt – 1st July Six – 21st May Tina – 24th June Wicked – 15th September

Rehearsals begin this week! Hopefully a full cast announcement is imminent! Lauren Byrne has just heavily hinted that she's involved on Instagram. Hopefully we find out the full cast soon.

I was just looking at the front section of stall seats and the note "You'll be moved in more ways than one". Does this mean the section of flooring moves underneath these seats to rotate them to each side or that the stage revolves? I'm intrigued.

Has anyone else dealt with their rescheduled email from ATG? Has anyone tried to get a full refund as opposed to the credit note with much success? I've been given a rescheduled date for March but don't think I'll be able to travel in that month. I'm hoping the show extends further to cover April/May but it's not available at this stage to book so the credit note would be of no use as it needs to be used by 11th August. Email atgcustomer@theambassadors.com, quote your order number and tell them you would like a refund instead of the credit note and they'll sort it. ☺ They generally seem a lot more efficient at processing refunds now than they were a few months ago, once you look beyond the emails that fail to mention refunds are an option! Thank you very much!

Enjoyed it more than the actual show to be honest - you realise the music is very strong. Still annoyed that they totally screwed with “The Plagues” and made it awful.
Yeah, they have spoiled "The Plagues" and the intensity between Moses and Rameses. Although I don't mind "Deliver Us", I do feel it works better slowed down. I think the pace on the cast recording takes away from the drama and desperation of the slaves a little.
Overall, the music is very strong in this show though.

I've been reading reviews from people who have been back since the initial previews and there sounds like they have made some good changes. Has anyone else been back to compare?

Extended bookings through to 27th June. Are they seriously only going to keep extending the booking period by a month at a time?

I've seen a lot of people suggesting she may have been fired and Equity was involved. It was very abrupt, and her announcement on her Instagram story was very blunt and didn't have a very nice tone to it. It clearly wasn't planned: there were no speeches and none of the cast have sent her well wishes or anything on social.
Who knows? Something definitely happened though - this was way too abrupt.

Also, producer Paula Wagner and Aimie Atkinson were on BBC Breakfast this morning! Was quite near the end, around 8.50ish. Available on iPlayer for those who want to catch up.

Grace Mouat is doing a three-part vlog backstage at &Juliet for Bryony Rose - this is the first one!
The part about her leggings made me laugh!

How truly awful and incredibly sad that she felt there was no other alternative to escape. The press and social media have tormented and hounded her, but how that has all changed as her death has been announced. Some websites have deleted the old pages where they slated her so they can write about the "heartbreaking" news. The press are so two-faced and false.
My thoughts are with Caroline's family and friends - this is just horrific for them.

I saw it last night too and loved it! Matt is just incredible as Lola and has always been a firm favourite. I do agree with greeny11 that Natalie threw away some of Lauren's comedic lines and I did felt she played it too over the top for "History of Wrong Guys". I do miss the show so was a nice treat seeing it at the cinema.

Unicorn was unmasked...not who I had thought it was!
{Spoiler - click to view} Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters Who did you think it was? I was quite convinced it was Matthew Morrison.

disappointed tbh when i listen to her singing Eponine i cannot imagine her belting this role 8 times a week would have loved someone with a more powerful voice i think i will watch it in Hamburg then She belts out a lot of the Pretty Woman songs- have you heard them? I agree and she does a good job as Vivian. To be honest, when I listen to the end section of "You're Beautiful" I can hear Elsa.

Surely an extension is imminent? I'm patiently waiting for them to release the next batch of tickets for June onwards.

It's a wonder that, given they even state that Grace plays Juliet at certain performances, they don't just schedule her to have two or three set shows a week? That way, it gives Miriam a break in between, which it sounds like she needs with the big sing.

Hi friends.. Does anyone know if any of the leads have scheduled holidays on the week of Jan 4th? Also, does Miriam do all shows bar sicknesses or is there an alternate Juliet? I'll be in London for a few days and this mad musical is my priority! Grace Mouat plays Juliet at certain performances but they aren't scheduled.
