The new trailer would be good if it was an accurate reflection of the show. Sadly though, it omits the clunky dialogue, terrible story and mediocre performances.

Yes -  great trailer - I suspect all the very best bits, so no need to see the show now - I'll save my money.

Its progress though. Someone, somewhere, now has a good idea what the good bits are, and what the show could look like, and what the audience react to.........

Just watched the trailer.
Wow it looks pretty shocking.
Definitely one to avoid.
Also, I guess it's pretty telling when they include a shot of the audience (at 2mins 14secs) and they still couldn't fill the circle for the day it was being filled. (pause and you'll see what i mean).

I don't know why people disbelieve that this show is a sell out!

If Judy Crayfish says it is then what more evidence do you need?

LOL - Sold out?
There are just 6 days where "top price" tickets are NOT available heavily discounted in this offer (Saturdays are excluded).
The engine roared, the motor hissed,
And who could see that the road would twist

I think it helps if you understand that when they say it's a sell out they mean it in the sense of having abandoned any semblance of artistic integrity in a desperate attempt to keep a couple of flagging careers from going under.
Huzzah!
