cant wait to see Only the Brave with niamhh perry and keith jack
And I'm also a theatre goer who lives in New York. We got discount tickets to shows in college and sometimes friends come into town and will treat us to a show. Classics like "The King and I" and "Oklahoma" are always great. Some newbies were a bit silly like "Young Frankenstein". But "Wicked" is going strong with young adults and just about evey man takes his girlfriend to see "Spamelot" which nabbed the Tonys in 2005. |

it doesnt look like it is closing in london as is london one is booking until october next year and is opening in birmingham on 1st july until 5th september, i would imagine ref tour casting, it may be a bit early yet
At the moment the tour opens in Manchester towards the end of next March. I'd imagine casting calls won't go out until at least November but I could be wrong. |

just got back from the eveming performance of cabaret at the birmingham rep as well, another full house tonight, the sign was up in the entry and couldnt see a single empty seat at all, so doesnt appear there were returns or no shows either
fantastic cast, they all worked well, both acting and musically, and i must say, despite all the negativity about sam only being 17, not able to act etc, well she certainly proved people wrong, she was fantastic, the audience loved her, and i heard several comments about no one believing she was only 17!!! and that if you didnt know otherwise you would think she was mid 20's. loved wayne sleep, and jenny logan matt zimmerman and henry luxemburg also deserve a mention, and the rest of the cast were really strong too. i wish i was seeing the show again! |

Our site is an exclusive online theatre club - you join by paying £30 a year, then you get full access to all the site plus a free top priced ticket to a West End show worth up to £60 which is redeemable at any point during your year’s membership! http://www.totallytheatre.com - take a look around! |
