Maxine Bialystock and Leona Bloom

Sounds like a high-powered ladies’ law firm

General onsale for this begins September 9.  Right now only scheduled to March 1.  Does the Menier Chocolate Factory have a history of extending productions?

Saw this last night after scoring a TodayTix Rush seat. I was absolutely blown away from laughing so damn hard. The cast was so good, especially Trevor Ashley as Roger! WHAT AN ICON HE IS! I’ve heard rumors about this transferring to the West End some time next year, which is NEEDED! The run is completely sold out at the Menier but if you can score a rush ticket, go for it! You won’t be disappointed!

Great to hear!

If you’re familiar with the original - has much changed? It looks like new arrangers & orchestrators are credited, and it’s obviously a much smaller production than the original.

I have never seen the show live on stage before, so I wouldn’t know, unfortunately. I did watch the movie musical years and years ago. Some bits and pieces I remember from that film on stage, but other than that, it felt fresh to me. It was still an outstanding production

Where are rush seats? I recall that theater is quite small and every seat tends to be a good seat. 
Andy Nyman (who was Gov Thropp in the Wicked movie) is Bialystock!

TodayTix. Every show from now till the end of the run in early March, they will release 4 tickets per show. Odds are slim but as long as you get on the app early enough, it you might have a shot.

I think they were asking what seats they are.

I meant whereabouts in the theater was your seat located. Was it partial view?

I saw Trevor Ashley in Melbourne in a Production Company version of The Producers and he played the German. It was a brilliant production and to this day I still laugh and remember his very funny performance.

I would 'kill' to see his 'Roger'..

Apologies for the delay. Time zone difference, lol. I sat in Row H, Seat 12 in the back, but I was dead center, so I had a perfect view of the stage. This space is very small. If you're close to the stage, you might miss some things, so I am glad these seats were in the back.

If this goes to the West End, he better reprise his role! His Roger had me LAUGHING so hard my head hurt! I'm gonna try to see it again with the Rush tickets because I had a blast!
