It was clearly a popular show and that helps to explain why seat Dress Circle A24 was £34 this time when it had been £28 two years ago. That is still a very generous price for such a good show and here my ATG+ Membership helped with the usual £10 off for the first night.
Pre=theatre followed the well established ritual of a Tofu Firecracker in Wagamama and a large bottle of Budvar in the theatre bar before the show started.
The set looked much the same as before, as expected, though the positioning of the props was slightly different.
The main difference from the original show was the cast, though the distinct lack of information about this on the ATG website is a familiar and inexcusable problem.
The new Darcy was the centre of the story, as the old one had been, and so Rhianna McGreevy had the biggest impact, at least I think it was her playing the role.
There were other small changes that I noticed too and I am sure that there were plenty of others that I missed. For example, they sang Big Boys Don't Cry last time but not this.
Even with the cast changes, it was very much the show that I had seen and loved twice in 2023 and I loved it again in 2025. It remained an entertaining mix of stories and characters mixed with dollops of humour and song.
