Emphatically NO!

What is it at present that shows have to be remounted within 2-5 years of their closing! A revival should not occur within a generations gap say 10-15 years. So CCBB should be revived in around 2015. AND NOT BEFORE!

[Seriously]

Or alternatively, if there's an audience for it...then yes. Just because you've seen it, doens't mean other people shouldn't get the chance. If there's enough call for it, good luck to it.

If there was an audience for it it wouldn't have closed. It would have transferred.

Most people have already had their chance to see it and didn't take it. Obviously there were some people who didn't have the opportunity to see it then, but why should they now have a chance to see CCBB rather than any other musical?

It's coming to Singapore later this year. November I think - so maybe they're shipping it all over here.

They held auditions recently for the kids parts - saw lots of white and asian kids auditioning - will be interesting to see who they pick.

Any idea if the tour cast (or the bulk of) are doing the international tour? Or is it seperate?

Would be keen to know, as am thinking about booking. But tickets ain't cheap here and would like to know if I will see a decent cast or not! It takes more than a hydraulic car to get me interested! Any info gratefully received.

It's coming to Bradford apparently in April next year. Full report from local paper here.

It transferred, to the touring circuit, where it seems to have done quite well for a few years.

I saw this on Friday night and I was not impressed at all. I had been really looking forward to the show coming to Southampton as I never managed to catch it in London but I felt very disappinted.

The lead was played by Craig McLachlan who I fet did not have the power in his voice to deliver the part. The child catcher was played by Alvin Stardust who was unconvinving and nowhere near menacing enough. But it was much more than that. I just hated the book. And don't get me started on those silly Vulgarians. It is just a pantomime show and I can see why it closed in London.

Even the flying car could not help to spark up my night.
