well, I guess I can say I'm excited for this. I found the production abit boring at first, but I'm sort of getting into it and will certainly check out the tour.

Ostend is confirmed for end of July. I think from 30th till 18th August

I'm relived that this is now confirmed to be produced by David Ian with the original designs, and not another one of Cameron Mackintosh's redesigned lower budget "re-imaginings."

[FANtomFollies]

i wonder if they will use the inflatable set?

[Phantom of London]

Has the full tour itinerary been released yet? 'Ostend' is a seaside resort in Belgium, do you mean Southend or something else?

[philitalia]

It's definitely Ostend Belgium. Casino Kursaal.

[ChiChi]

If it is the origional design, then it won't be inflatable, right?

[CATSNYrevival]

^Not necessarily. The US tour still credited John Napier with the design. They just included an additional credit to Raymond Huessy for scenery reproduction.

Wouldn't it be great if someone finally cut 'Pekes and Pollicles'?

[Musical-Matt]

never cut peak and pollicles i love it

[CATSNYrevival]

That's my favorite song! I hate it when it gets cut. I almost hated going to see the US tour knowing that it wasn't going to be in it.

If they cut something they can cut "The Ballad of Billy McCaw." I still prefer the Italian aria for that part, but Andrew Lloyd Webber prefers the ballad for whatever reason.
