"UK tour" announced, hitting 6 theatres in the south and 1 in the midlands. StageSideUK still fighting the fight to stop the clickbait headlines. A tour of the south does not make it a UK tour, especially when you're only touring England.

@theatreandtonic I kinda hope it tours because I couldn't see it down south. Sadly no London trip for us this year.

It's been 3 days, that's enough time without The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Musical.. so shall we bring it back for 2026?

The number of people who say "but you are trained in theatre" when I apply for jobs... Creative jobs are just impossible to get, and now I know why!

@WhatsOnStage @GreatestShowman @disneybroadway It will be interesting to see how they translate such a huge box office hit!

It is no secret that theatres are sometimes the most beautiful of buildings. Perhaps its because they have grand staircases, gorgeous decorations or a stunning stage. This week I want to know which theatre has the most stunning architecture. What theatre has gorgeous features?

@Theatretiquette It worked so well, why has it changed xD if it isnt broke...

@StageSideUK1 From what I read its more Todrick singing... saw a video where the wig and costumes look cheap....during the preview the choreo wasn't all there and and its longer now (dont know why)... story change

Honestly from all the news of Burlesque it does feel like a fall from grace from its days in Manchester... also saw clip from curtain call... costumes look cheap and really shake and go wig? My opinion is summed up with this gif

@mrcarl_woodward I do apologize @mrcarl_woodward I didn't realize so much would change. I've heard it looked really naff. How has it changed so much from the manc show! That was a highlight of my year!!

@mrcarl_woodward As a lifelong fan of the film and someone waiting for the musical for ever, I think they did a great job. There were a couple of moments that felt todrick show absolutely, but I had a fab time!
