Snow in London - what happens to theatre shows?

loulou2702

I am due to go to see The Jersey Boys performance at The Prince Edward Theatre tomorrow at 2.30 pm. (Tuesday 3rd)
Does anyone have experience of what happens in extreme waether circumstances as I may not be able to get into London - no trains and no buses! And snow conditions due to get worse
(Ironically I bought them with the Get into London promotionand cant get in! This may mean I cant get a refund too.)
I have emailed the box office and waiting for a reply.

I would assume that the cast members would have difficulty getting in to London - I suppose I have to wait and see.
can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks so much

Just seen on SKY News that a number of West End shows have been cancelled for tonight. Not sure about tomorrow, I live in central London and its still snowing now.

I got that message from Prince Edward Theatre website and only applies to Delfont Mackintosh productions.
If you go to the official site for Hairspray there might be notices concerning Hairspray on there.
Good Luck. The weather hasnt let off all day and my sons school in Kensington has already cancelled school tomorrow so cant see any of them being on again.
We will see.

Hi well me and my OH were supposed to be going to see We Will Rock You tonight but has been cancelled and got a full refund but not all have been cancelled - it will be worth contacting whoever supplied the tickets or the theatre as they discuss it with the production team (as told by dominion theatre staff) but you probably wont know til tomorrow as it depends how the weather is overnight.
