I Can't Sing X Factor Musical cancels first two previews

The X Factor Musical I Can't Sing which was due to start previews later this week on 27th February has now cancelled the first two shows because of “technical issues caused by the ambitious staging” with the first preview now taking place on Saturday 1st March. 

In a statement, producers Stage Entertainment and Syco Entertainment said: “After much careful thought and discussion we’ve decided that we need to take some more time to work on technical aspects of I Can’t Sing! at the Palladium. As audiences will soon see the production is hugely ambitious, and the volume of installation and scale of the set means that technical work has taken slightly longer than could have been anticipated to make the show audience-ready. 

We want everyone who comes to see I Can’t Sing!, from the very first preview, to have the best possible experience. We therefore feel that this course of action is the responsible thing to do as producers, both for our cast and production staff at the theatre and for our audiences. This is not a decision taken lightly and I’d like to apologise to those who had booked, and indeed sold out, these initial two performances. 

Each and every ticket holder will be offered reseating options and should contact their original point of purchase for further details. The entire I Can’t Sing! family cannot wait for everyone to see the show and we thank everyone for their patience and understanding"
