⭐ MY BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING MUSICAL – UK TOUR CANCELLED ⭐
The UK tour of the musical adaptation of My Best Friend’s Wedding has been cancelled, it has been announced.
The show was meant to have its world premiere this September, but has now been pulled – though producers are exploring opportunities to revisit the show.
In a statement producers said: “The UK tour of My Best Friend’s Wedding which was scheduled to open at the Palace Theatre, Manchester on 20th September, 2021 is, unfortunately, not going ahead…Successfully launching a new musical on tour is never easy, but continuing uncertainty and its hugely damaging effect on consumer confidence has made a difficult task into an impossible one.”
Director Rachel Kavanaugh also commented: “The producers have full confidence in the show itself, and hope to find a way of re-visiting it at a time and in circumstances that will afford it the best possible chance of enjoying the success it deserves.”
The show, based on the hit film of the same name, was due to star Alexandra Burke in the main role made famous by Julia Roberts.
Such a shame! ! !
