The cast change for the London production would have been HUGE if this whole situation hadn't happened, supposedly 7/10 were going to be leaving. Where has this information come from? I'm now intrigued to find out who would have been leaving

With the announcement of Curve now staying closed until the end of October, we can now assume that this will be rescheduled to next year, hopefully!

30th October is still over 5 months away so I'm holding out hope. More so for the fact that we're booked on the first preview and I doubt we would be able to get on the new first preview date if it were to be rescheduled. Well you'd hope that if they had to re-schedule, that you would relocate your seats to that new date!

Do you think once Broadway reopens, that first night they will class as their opening night, or will they reschedule a 'new' opening night once things reopen?

A strong recommendation from me is for "The Imagineering Story" - basically the history of Disney theme parks for the past 6 years. Fascinating This is the first thing we watched last night! There is currently only episode 1, but there will eventually be 6, and I can't wait for the rest of them!!

I signed up back when it was slightly cheaper before release. There's lots of stuff to keep people busy, as I own most of the classic animation cannon on DVD, but have very little Pixar, Marval or Star Wars, so that alone is enough to keep us going! There's also the new live actions which we have missed most of the new ones, so a great way to watch them, and not have to own them if we don't enjoy them! Can't wait to get home tonight and start watching!

Just had an e-mail saying Victoria Hamilton-Barritt will be the Stepmother in this :-) Not only is that good news in itself, but is also nice to hear some forward planning theatre news, rather than another cancellation! Tweet confirming Vics casting!

I received an email from them last night about a show I have booked for the 10th April, but nothing as of yet for shows I have booked on the 23rd and 30th of March! I'm happy to take the voucher, my issue is that all the shows I've booked have been on the Official London Theatre Week offer, so hoping there will be offers once theatres reopen so I can get similar deals. Thought at this rate, I just hope that shows reopen, it so sad seeing shows that wont open again!

Just seen the article! Such a shame, it sounded great from your review! I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot of this in the coming weeks, on both sides of the pond!

Kevin was talking about the show on This Morning today, said how much the film meant to him and it is his dream role. He came across with such enthusiasm for it, I’m looking forward to his take on the role. When he was partnered with Susan Calman on Strictly they did their Paso Doble to a number from SB, which Kevin had been asking the production team for years to do, and they finally let him do it with Susan! So I'm not surprised he's excited about going on tour with this!

Has anyone sat in either of the front 2 rows? As its reduced price on all performances, and down from £40+ is something I'd very much like to take advantage of if I can Yes I've sat in the front row there on all my previous visits and have already booked this show and ... Pluto , plus Nativity, all in the front row. The stage is, as they say, slightly below eye level, but there are plenty higher and for the reduced prices the front row is a bargain. Perhaps best avoided by children and anyone under 5 feet tall but otherwise I'd say go for it. Thats great advice thank you! Hopefully should be booked by end of play tomorrow! Really excited to experience a new venue (for me) and a new show too!

With public booking opening today, a £17 front row stalls seat for a Saturday matinee is a definite bargain as all the rows behind are £40+. Has anyone sat in either of the front 2 rows? As its reduced price on all performances, and down from £40+ is something I'd very much like to take advantage of if I can

Super bad timing that Broadway shut due to coronavirus on their opening night! I felt so bad for them! It shouldn't effect the show in anyway, hopefully it will just make them more eager to see it once it reopens!

Yesterday I saw The Inheritance, double bill. I saw them separately in London and loved them, but wow it was really incredible to see both parts in a day. The audience reacted much more strongly to it here I thought, but it is such a New York story. Such a shame it hasn't done better over here. Thinking back, I don't think I could have seen them both separately! It was such an experience to see them back to back, if it wasn't closing if we were struggling for things to see I would have gladly seen it again when we go over in June! How was Tony Goldwyn?

Is the tour programme identical to the London one? The one that I got from Milton Keynes looked identical to one that I'd seen from of the West end, with different photos in it. But the page that talks about the historical queens, and the inspiration behind there Six counterparts, has the historical portraits next to photos of the original London Cast, so that page is a direct copy from the London programme. So other then cast bios and some photos, they are virtually the same!

That sounds like a great selection to see! We've got plans to go towards the beginning of June, so trying to keep an eye on whats opening/closing around then, so we can get a list together of what to see! It'll be my first trip across the pond, my other half has been twice, so is an old hat when it comes to seeing something at every opportunity!

Come from Away is first first show in a long time that has made me stop while listening to the cast recording! I had to listen to it in 1 sitting, all the way through, as I could tell quite early on it was something special! There are not many shows that any song from the recording can come on shuffle and I'll listen to it, but Come From Away is one of those shows!

Oh fudge! I've booked 30th March, so that means we'll miss Rosalie! We booked through TodayTixs, has anyone ever needed/changed date when booked through them? If so who would be the best people to speak to? I'd just like to swap to another day if possible, so we don't miss Rosalie! Ive booked for August so miss all of them it seems. I am sure when I booked it didn't say the cast were on limited runs I checked once I noticed the details, and it does say on both the official website and on TodayTixs, and as soon as someone said it on here, I remembered that it had a strange cast dates. Its my own fault for not checking more, but I'm more interested in the show then the cast!

I have asked for an exchange with todaytix in the past and they gave me a voucher thing to rebook for the same show, make sure your quick so you can rebook within the offer Had a fairly quick response from TodayTixs. As the tickets were brought through the London Theatre week offer, they can't exchange or refund them, due to the terms and conditions, which is fair enough. Oh well, possibly means we might be taking 2 trips if we really feel like we want to see Rosalie! Thanks for the advise though, its always worth the ask!

^Trying to work out the different combinations of who is on and when and who is leaving when,is frankly too much for my tiny brain. Still haven’t booked yet as I am torn by the said convoluted combinations. I would say you'll be safe as long as you avoid Monday before the end of May, and you should get most of the cast! Its after that it looks like you'd struggle, I just opted for what looked a quieter day, not realising Mondays were an 'Off Day' for Rosalie!
