Kate O'Donnell and Oliver Stockley are also leaving Oh Mary!, with the same last performance date of 26th September. So that means only Scott Karim remains.

I see Alaska Thunderfuck is doing the US tour from September through to January. I wonder if she'd be considered for a UK run?

 

[Finn]

Teri Hatcher's more of a draw to you than Vanessa Williams?

Oh 100%, love. She's LOIS FUCKING LANE!

Actually it's ALL CHANGE

Just seen Thelma & Louise. The songs are so-so but it’s been staged very well with an incredible cast. Jordan Luke Gage in the Brad Pitt role was lovely.

And Amy Lennox as Thelma melded perfectly into Geri Halliwell and 90s Nicole Kidman.

DESPERATE to see Hay Fever but good lord the ticket prices.

Just entered the lottery for this.

Wish me luck

 

[Lucille]

I booked for December and got tickets for £85 which got me 2nd row in the Grand Circle.

 

[lolly]

Is the lottery for cheap(er) tickets? There seems to still be reasonable availability if you're willing to shoulder the prices.

 

[jyxz]

I think they were £35

Thought Arcadia was a bit TEDIOUS tbh.

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Why do we have to wait until 2027 for this?

 

[cwej]

Sorry for the promo push but I’ll just do it as a one off…

Come see my play people! Some Explicit Polaroids by Mark Ravenhill. Ravenhill himself coming along on 22nd for a Q&A (though that has almost sold out).

On from 16th-26th September.

A Little Night Night Music is one of my absolute favourite musicals, so I was intrigued to see who was going to be cast in this revival. Slightly underwhelmed



When I saw it in 2009 it was Hannah Waddingham, Maureen Lipman and Jesse Buckley, and in 1995 Judi Dench, Sian Phillips, Patricia Hodge and Issy Van Randwyck.

I like Michelle Gomez, but she's not a big enough pull for me to make a trip up.

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Oh I'd love to see Megan Hilty!

Stop with these “concert” productions with all star casts, unless this is actually potentially going to become a thing

Maybe they're doing it before announcing DBH

Tell that to the 20 or so recent ones at the Palladium and Theatre Royal Drury Lane

Sunday In The Park With George CANCELLED

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE Cancelled Following Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey Departure

Following the departure of Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey, the previously announced London revival of Sunday in the Park With George has been…

Something's gone very wrong if a production of a nice Sondheim can only happen if Ariana fucking Grande is on board

Or the cancelled one with Jake Gyllenhaal during Covid. Why do they only want A-List stars?

Titanique closing in the West End 3rd January 2027 But going on a UK tour after that.

Not unexpected but quite a swift announcement. Wonder what will replace it at the Criterion.

Thrilled that Myra DuBois is touring though, I really want to see her in it

 

[lolly]

I read on X (although not seen confirmation outside the post) that People, Places And Things is returning to the Trafalgar 'in early 2027', so presumably Oh Mary! is closing if that's true. Currently booking to Jan 2nd.

 

[Jark]

Vanessa doing all this promo for a role she's leaving is sending me. nice to see Teri getting on so well with a Desperate Housewife

 

[lolly]

Can't remember if I posted about seeing this in May, but it's an absolute fucking riot, and I recommend it to anyone now it seems to have been revived for a short tour.

Its on in Liverpool for a TENNER.

Count me IN.

@Ellie, have you seen the Back To The Future musical? The tour is here in a few weeks and I've got the possibility of cheap(er) tickets.

@Ellie, have you seen the Back To The Future musical? The tour is here in a few weeks and I've got the possibility of cheap(er) tickets.

I saw it 11 times

It did lose some of its pizzazz in London with various cast changes. But I hope the tour doesn’t scale down the effects, because it’s really quite something.

 

[lolly]

The tour seems to be doing at least a few weeks in each location, and the Hippodrome here at least has a huge stage, so that shouldn't be restrictive. That both makes me hope it's a big production.

It doesn't seem to be selling at all well though. I can get cheap tickets through local heroes on Monday and Tuesday, and the dates I'm looking at towards the end of the run in early November are only about 10% sold. It's better earlier in the run and at the weekends, but still loads of availability.

Tonight was Tilda Swinton’s one woman play that she previously did in the 80s called Man To Man.

It was 85 minutes long. About 30 minutes in a handful of people started leaving. We lasted 60 minutes before we couldn’t take any more of this pretentious madness and pissed off for a meal and more wine instead it was absolutely GHASTLY.

 

[cwej]

Oh my god what have the reviews been like?

Should have come to see my play instead. We didn't have any walk outs?

 

[FannyFaudrey]

The Guardian gave Tilda 4 out of 5! The FT and Telegraph raved about it too.

 

[Lucille]

I’d sit through 85 mins of Tilda taking a shit, filing this under one of Ellie’s NUMEROUS bad takes.

Just back from seeing ‘Letter to Brezhnev’ (matinee )

If you love the film, I’d recommend going to see the live show. Apparently Margi Clarke was spotted, but take that with a pinch of salt.

I hope it tours, but it’s definitely loved in Liverpool.
