Does anyone know if there is a minimum age restriction for the show? My daughter will be 13.5 years old by next Feb. I'm inclined to just book for the three of us and "risk" it. I called the Palace Theatre and they don't have any info on age or running times etc. yet.

I'm hoping it wouldn't be anything too embarrassing for her or anything where we will be sitting thinking "oh no, what have we done?!" LOL We were going to get her a ticket to see American Idiot with us and didn't and it was good that we didn't as it ended up having an age 14 restriction (lots of drug use etc). That's why I'm wondering about this.

Seriously though, I was about 14/15 or something before I actually realised what was going on in the last two minutes of Bat and the middle section of Paradise! |

It would make sense that two weeks in they have gala night/world premiere/press night whatever you want to call it with the red carpet.
It's weird how the first few night of a theatre show isn't officially the premiere - the first few weeks are 'previews', yes they need to fine tune and settle the cast in to their roles but I've never got that :P |

Wow...tickets arrived today. Quickest dispatch I've ever had.
It's a shame that you never get commemorative tickets in the UK these days. |

Opening night is actually not opening night, usually the gala performance with press and celebs is two weeks in. |

6? You expecting something? Ah yes, during rehearsals they'll no doubt make a trailer and post videos/pix on social media.
Casting is underway judging by the poster on page 1 so there will be announcements there literally any day now - they will use the actors to promote especially if they're 'famous' (hopefully not random reality TV stunt casting *shudders* sure Jim would love that) Plus Meat is very likely to mention the show on his promo for BTWA. |

Who's involved so far?
There were a bunch of actors at a workshop November 2015 but it is highly unlikely they will be in the actual show. Written by JIM STEINMAN (who else!?) Directed by JAY SCHRIEB Produced by TODD RUNDGREN (also 'choirmaster', I can't wait to hear his new vocal arrangements!), ELVA CORRIE, MICHAEL COHL and DAVID SONENBERG Website by DEWYNTERS Promotion by AMBASSADOR THEATRE GROUP Anyone else known? I read Kasim Sulton was onboard and Rinkoff is a cert. Apparantly Manchester is the first in a series of international engagements including London, Broadway and Toronto. As for a cast album, Dance didn't get one as it flopped so bad! We Will Rock You was a llivr recording but most are done In the studio. If the arrangements are all new surely they'll be one! |

The album accompanying Whistle Down the Wind was released about 4 months after the show premiered. For Lloyd Webber's Love Never Dies, they were released simultaneously. So anything is possible....once they have the cast in place they could easily record the album to promote the show or to sell at the venue with programmes depending on whether they have a cast recording or other artists. And i know there is always a chance of this going the same way as DOTV, but there are two big differences for me. Tanz did and is still doing very well and it was Jim's baby. This is Jim's baby - as we know he wrote the book as well as music and lyrics - which is a big difference to DOTV. The other massive difference is this is called BAT OUT OF HELL THE MUSICAL. DOTV might as well have been a brand new startup show in comparison to what the name brings to this. So hopefully it will do just fine. |

Tanz der vampire is one of the most successful musicals of all time and has run for over 10 years in Europe. It also had an amazing run in Japan. It's got multiple cast albums from Germany, Austria, Japan etc. What the broadway producers did to the show is criminal.
They are unlikely to record a cast album for Bat out of Hell the musical before the show has been tried out. Manchester is like what an off broadway opening would be in the US. It's like it opening in Chicago, having a try out and then going to Broadway. The musical will still be developing in Manchester. So a cast album for that run is very unlikely IMO. (I work in theatre in the UK) |
