An integral part of the stage mechanism for the show’s set is currently not operating correctly and this needs to be resolved before performances can begin at the Palladium. As a result Saturday's performance has, regrettably, been cancelled.
The first preview will now take place next week.
Rebecca Quigley, Producer for Stage Entertainment, said:
“Our teams have been working extremely hard to correct a problem which has developed this week with a particularly intricate piece of technical equipment. Our show features a hugely ambitious set including a multi-truck system on track embedded in the stage to allow pieces to move constantly during the performance. This tracking system is not operating correctly and it’s imperative, for the safety of our actors and the quality of the production that we’re committed to delivering, that we take the time needed to resolve this issue.
“I’d like to offer our sincere apologies to everyone who has bought a ticket for this week’s preview performances and can assure you that everyone at the Palladium is working night and day to guarantee that I Can’t Sing!, in all its hilarious, all-singing, all-dancing glory, will begin previews next week as scheduled.”
The musical was originally meant to start previews on the 27th March 2014 which was pushed back to tomorrow (Saturday 1st March 2014). Tickets have been taken off sale until the 5th March 2014.
Ticket holders are advised to contact their point of purchase for reseating options.
