Owing to circumstances beyond our control, we regretfully announce that we have been forced to cancel our production of Chicago that we had re-scheduled to November 2020.

We had intended to return to rehearsals in September, but maintaining current social distancing guidelines meant that the cast could neither safely nor practically return to rehearsing for this show, which demands high levels of close proximity and interaction. Furthermore, restrictions remain in place for live musical theatre performances and no further updates are expected from Government around amateur performances before November. These ongoing restrictions are circumstances beyond our control and we have been forced to cancel our production of Chicago.

What happens if I booked tickets?

Anvil Arts will contact all individuals who purchased tickets. They will advise you on the refund procedure or alternatively, you can choose to donate the value of your ticket to Anvil Arts. If you would like to make a donation to BATS, you can do securely by credit or debit card on our website.

We know that the vast majority transferred your ticket to November and we’d like to thank you for your support during these unprecedented times. We hope that you continue to keep well and we very hope that we’ll be able to see you in May 2021 for Shrek.
