How many areas is the UK TRULY world leading in? 1m more attend the West End than Broadway p/y. More people see a West End show annually than attend a Premier league match.
Yet theatreland from top to bottom has been abandoned by the government. No insurance and left to wither.
The little child in me still doesn't quite think I'll have 3 West End shows happening at the same time this summer,with the shortest run of them being 7 weeks.
Very thankful to everyone who has been so generous with their time & aide to make these dreams come true.
#BackOnStage
Parker is entirely right here.We have owners who have spent money on developing Motspur Park,spent money developing Craven Cottage,spent money on our team,our academy, reduced club debt,etc. People need to see the bigger picture here of where the Khans have smashed it.

Scott Parker urges

fans to unite amid unrest while backing Tony Khan's recruitment & investment, saying in today's Sun "One thing I will defend the Khans on & I think we all need to understand this as a football club, is that they have been very supportive. Very generous."
I've spent over a year working on this piece and a lifetime dreaming of putting on a show in the West End. Tonight

This is the hardest moment for theatreland yet and I have so much respect for all working so hard to keep their shows open.
All of the love to everyone in theatreland.
Lazy from
@BBCSport
and just goes to show how sport journalism is filled with gaps.
We are clearly playing a back 5 with Ream, Hector and Odoi as cbs.Not Ream in midfield.
How can you do so little homework when covering a match as a pro journo?!

@ExtinctionR
. This video could not be more important, pressing and vital.
There will be more really sad news about shows delaying.Shows not built with social distancing in mind, so have to delay. But new shows will pop up,chances given to those previously not & a completely new theatreland will emerge like daffodils.The show will go on.Keep the faith.
Shall we open a show in the West End?

Also worth reminding all that Prof Van Tam never appeared after critiquing Domimic Cummings.......
The arts and hospitality have been abandoned by this government like a Christmas tree in January.
My heart goes out to all in impossible situations right now.
💔💔💔
I welcome news of a delay to further unlocking if it helps us to prevent going back into a larger lockdown once more.
But the govt have to respond with financial support for all in the arts & beyond who will suffer as a result of it.(esp.when their dither & delay has caused this)
For those wondering about the difference in Bournemouth beach, BLM protests,secret raves,street parties,etc etc.
BLM were sacrificing their(+others) short term health for longterm change,which will in turn save lives.
The people in the other examples were bored of lockdown.
Pandemic Press Night ✅
Cast who live in 4 different countries ✅

I always get giddy seeing my name outside a theatre, but even more so when it's with some of my pals who have grafted and grafted through lockdowns and more to keep theatre going.
A 7 week run at the Palace Theatre.

is a dream come true.
See you there.

May this next year of theatre provide a safe and consistently open industry for us all.
A big thank you to everyone we have worked with in the hardest of times.
As a producer of 3 West End shows this summer, I can categorically call this nonsense.
This govt. showing the same contempt to only consult their speed dial for PPE rather than a whole industry in need of their help.
(Also Cinderella isn't in Drury Lane.......)
What a great first day of our
@TreasonMusical
with a wonderfully talented group from

The Plotters are plotting something special....... 👀🔥💥
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing 6/10

@BTTFmusical
. They were all immense & are such a credit to theatreland.
During this phenomenally challenging time for theatre,they are truly the heroes who allow us to keep entertaining.
They may not be on the poster, but oh my word the ensemble, stage management & technical team have broughhhttt it to
@WondervilleLive

Day 1 of tech done and already I just know we have an incredibly special show on our hands thanks to their brilliance!

Thank you to everyone who has come to see and support
@AmelieMusicalUK
for our West End run.
This musical hits in a different way. The most sincere, heart felt and beautiful show.
To those who didn't see it, you really missed out on this one.
Amélie, gooodd-byye guurrrlll 💚
Well here we go... I've gone and launched my own shop bringing theatre realness to you in these pandemic times.
I would adore anyone forever if they helped to spread the word so
@PCJEnts
can help bring creativity to all.
Hello twitter. Theatre lovers of all kind, whether you are a performer, director, designer, manager, cleaner, BO, marketeer, FOH, musician, audience member or any other area in theatre, then we want to work with you. Help us to make entertainment for all. It starts with a follow.
I recently saw Cinderella & was blown away by the talent of the numerous swings/covers & alternates who performed with such distinction. Love to all involved in any capacity at the Gillian Lynne who found out in such a horrible way & those who will be massively impacted by this.
Exclusive: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella is to close in the West End after an unsettled 12-month run, with a Broadway opening planned for early next year.
If only someone had given him the memo about Government backed Covid Insurance scheme last year some time..........
@OliverDowden
you can't absolve responsibility of this.
You are the minister, you need to fix this & not pass the buck.
The legacy of theatre is in your hands.
I'm deeply disappointed to hear the news about Cinderella. I know how much effort ALW has put into this production, and how much it meant to the cast, crew and theatre lovers alike. (1/3)
As
@JamieCollabro
says, independent producers have "moved heaven and Earth" to create jobs for people in the arts by putting on shows with no pandemic insurance. We stepped up and produced in the hardest period to do it, and I'm so proud of every one of my colleagues endeavours.
I take my hat off to the skill in
@debra_craine

@WondervilleLive
family,who conquered more challenges than any show I've known. It's been a privilege to work with them all.
What a fantastic showcase at
@RoyalAcadMusic
today. I knew they were good from when we were lucky enough to have them for our
@TreasonMusical
workshop, but oh wow I didn't realise they were THAT GOOD.
Congrats to them all.
What a wonderful press night
@newsies_uk
had last night. The energy and creativity was immense.
Led exceptionally by
@michaelahomka

@RyanKopel
shining as ever. Congrats to all involved. I feel like I pulled my groin and got a stitch watching that choreo. 👏🏼
What a dream to work and share space with the most talented people.
#ChessDL
and
@TreasonMusical
we might not have won best concert, but I am obsessed with you all.
As London looks set to join so many of our friends in Tier 3, I'd like to know if the figure for Covid transmission within theatres identified by our world beating track and trace system is still 0 cases?
Our doors are opening at a magical new
#WestEnd
destination...
Following our smash-hit season at the Palace Theatre last year, the
#magic
of
#Wonderville
returns to London from the 9 August, at our own
#cabaret
venue on
#Haymarket
🪄✨
Tickets on sale tomorrow!
Still beyond buzzing that
#ChessDL
and
@TreasonMusical
are nominated for a
@WhatsOnStage
award amongst such inspiring company.
So much pride and love to everyone who worked so hard to put them both on.
How does
@OliverDowden
STILL not get it?!
What support will
@RishiSunak
give to support freelancers who will be made redundant from specific contracts from the tier change?
@MattHancock
show us the data that proves theatre causes higher Covid infections.
Show your competence.
