The hard-copy programmes have not arrived yet, so the Donmar is making a digital one available, but at £3.00 just for a pdf, I shall wait for the real thing. Have the hard-copy programmes arrived yet? Because I do like buying programmes but am not prepared to spend £3 on a PDF! Anyone know if the PDF programmes are available to purchase online? I’m trying to cut down on my hard copy collection and would like to get one in advance. Thanks

Well, she was brilliant but who would have ever thought otherwise. And she got me teary at the end with Home because that song always manages to make me emotional even though I'm not even a big fan of The Wiz. I wonder how the film will be distributed. What was the set list, running time etc. I ended up missing this one but was desperate to go!

I was there and Linzi & company were on top form. What a talent she is, I’m so glad she got to reprise the Narrator again. Jac gave a heartfelt speech at the end before the mega mix, and Linzi said she almost didn’t do the tour as it was 8 shows a week (rather than occasional shows like at the Palladium), but she was glad she did. The audience was very responsive & the atmosphere electric! A fabulous night!

I travelled from London on Tuesday to see this, travelling by train so had to have an overnight stay. I enjoyed it so much that I booked an extra day at my accommodation for Wednesday night and went to see it again. It's a wonderful, full on show, how Charlie Stemp can even keep the energy up in this heat I do not know as at one point in Act 1 his shirt was just soaked through with sweat. A highlight for me is I have a friend who is in it who I haven't seen for a couple of years, and a long catchup over a few beers in a favoured local hostelry on both evenings was the icing on the cake. I'm going for one last visit on 2nd September because it's just so good. If you do get a chance to see it, grab it with both hands, I don't think you'd be disappointed. Could you give me an idea of where you stayed as I really want to see this but feel I can't manage the trek from London and back in a day anymore. I find it really tiring and get home exhausted. I looked at Premier Inn but it was over £100 for a room and was told I'd still need to get a taxi as the hotel isn't in the centre so any advice would be great. There is a Travelodge in town which is within walking distance from the theatre.

Our only hope is that more dates are added but that’s unlikely or we’ll be celebrating Christmas at Halloween! A gays gotta do what a gays gotta do. Indeed! 🤣 And Lorna Luft is certainly a big draw! Right now I’m telling my younger self off for not going to see her in a previous production of White Christmas just up the road and now older me is facing a 4 hour plus journey! And they say we grow wiser...

Me too! The nearest venue to me is probably 4 hours away - wish it was closer! I said to my partner that there’s no Scottish dates and he said “we’ll just go wherever it’s playing” to which I replied that none of the places are easy to get to from where we live! Will just have to miss it, I suppose. Our only hope is that more dates are added but that’s unlikely or we’ll be celebrating Christmas at Halloween!

Annoying there’s no Scottish dates! Would love to see this for Lorna Luft alone! Me too! The nearest venue to me is probably 4 hours away - wish it was closer!

Maria and Laura were interviewed on The Curtain Up Show this afternoon & there was talk of reinstating Loose Ends on Monday night - fingers crossed! If anyone is interested the interview is being repeated on Sunday at 9am on Resonance FM. It’s a great song I hope they’ve brought it back! Did they not confirm it then just said it was a possibility? Maria said she was looking into putting it back in as many people had asked for it. I think the interview was pretty-recorded so there’s still hope!

I’m excited for Claire Moore. She’s going to be a great Felicia! She and Laura P P are the only classy bits of casting here. Natasha Barney’s is great- but she’s not an Alexandra Yes I’m looking forward to seeing Laura too - she’s a real class act!

Well….. that’s slightly disappointing, was really hoping for a greatest hits “cast”. Only person I am particularly excited for is Laura…. I’m sure it will still be a pleasant evening….. Agree 100%! Was hoping for some blasts from the past too, but am glad Laura is involved - she will be fantastic! Not so familiar with the other two performers playing the witches...

Carly Bawden would be amazing! Loved her in Romantics Anonymous.

I’d be quite happy to see Ria Jones (from the tour) as Alex, original cast Joanna Riding as Jane & Rebecca Thornhill (2nd cast and tour) as Sukie...but it will probably be trendy names from current West End shows! Hope they announce casting soon...

Yikes. When did the donmar become so expensive. It had better be good! Indeed! Last show I saw there was about half the price! Am hoping for some great casting for this one...

Genuinely can't think of anything id like to see less really than Carrie doing Waiting for the Music to Begin. Would honestly love to have Jo Riding, Josefina Gabrielle and Rebecca Thornhill all come back and play the roles 20 years on I loved Rebecca Thornhill in WoE - she’s always a standout in everything she does. Would love to see her Sukie again (with Loose Ends reinstated).

Can’t wait to see it again. I hope Maria reinstates Loose Ends (which was originally her big second act solo) - it was cut from subsequent productions and I always miss it.

I was there and it was a wonderful evening - I thoroughly enjoyed. Maria is such a fantastic interpreter of all she sings and she was joined by four talented friends and a choir from RAM I believe. It’s a must see in my opinion and is a production of very high quality. Go see!
Interval 9.15 End 10.40 but will probably get tighter by opening night.
