The Apollo Players: The King & I – CANCELLED

It is with regret that we have to advise you that the proposed production of the King and I produced by the Apollo Players has had to be cancelled.

We had great concerns over the safety of the scenery that they intended to bring into the theatre and we were just advised of this last week. Further to carrying out our own fire risk assessment, various questions and safety measures required answers and proper certification in terms of fireproofing were required to ensure that the items were safe to use within the theatre.

Despite requesting this numerous times and extending deadlines, the proper acceptable paperwork was never produced. We therefore could not take the high risk of potential fire that this scenery caused.

We are sorry that this is such short notice and hope that you appreciate that we really needed to ensure that the theatre was safe for everyone, customers, staff and Apollo members who were on stage.

With regards to refunds, all tickets booked direct from the Pavilion Theatre via credit or debit card, please contact the box on 0141-332-1846 and they will arrange to refund this to you. If you paid cash at the theatre box office, please return your tickets to the theatre box office to receive a cash refund. If you booked through the Apollo Players, you can contact them direct as they will need to refund you.

Again we apologise for this late announcement but we really did try hard to get the companies involved to produce the proper safety certificates.

The Apollo Players
Presents
Rogers and Hammerstein’s
THE KING AND I
An Amateur Production By Special Arrangement With R & H Theatricals Europe.

THE KING AND I tells the heart warming story of a British Governess brought to the court of the King of Siam to tutor the King’s many children, told using one of the most beautiful scores ever written by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein. The sweeping melodies of ‘Shall We Dance’ I Whistle a Happy Tune’ ‘Hello Young Lovers’ ‘We Kiss in a Shadow’ ‘The March Of The Siamese Children’ and the unforgettable ‘Getting To Know You’ to name but a few.

THE KING AND I is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicals of all time. Seen by millions of people across the world since it opened in 1951, when it was showered with awards and became the blockbuster Hollywood movie, its glorious soundtrack is still a best seller today.
