Who or what is Albermarle?
Not convinced until I get it from a source I've heard of. The Duchess is so tiny. :unsure:

They are an agency who have been going for years!

As has been said, this is no different to what happened on Broadway with the show

Going to a seating capacity that's 32% the size of The Shaftesbury will mean the Equity rates will be lowered.  I hope that doesn't affect casting!

I really didn't think ticket sales were so poor to warrant such a drop. I go to see the show a lot and usually the u/c is closed off but stalls seems pretty full whenever I'm there. Not sure about circle.
Would rather it moves rather than closes as I have a serious addiction to this show!

The article is printed in todays Daily Mail and reported by Baz Bamigboye who is always very reliable in his reporting.

The show originally opened on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson theatre (capacity 1,038) before moving to its current home, the Helen Hayes theatre (capacity 583) where it played to 99.1% last week. Better to have a show running at a higher capacity with less costs than close.

A reliable poster on Broadwayworld says ROA will move to Duchess, Burn The Floor (with Strictly people) will go in to fill the gap until Memphis opens in May

Could you post a link to Baz's article please? Yes, if he says it, then it's very likely to be correct!
