ITV postpone 'Street of Dreams' after bad reviews
 

Coronation Street arena musical Street of Dreams has postponed its forthcoming tour dates, with the producers claiming they are “far from happy with the show artistically”.

The musical stars Paul O’Grady and Jodie Prenger and opened in Manchester on May 9 and 10. It was due to continue to Dublin, Belfast and Newcastle later this month.

In an email seen by The Stage that was sent to cast and crew involved in the production, the show’s co-producer John Ward, from Reckless Entertainment, said he was postponing the dates planned for later this month because he and his production team, which includes ITV Studios’ Kieran Roberts, “are far from happy with the show artistically and we are not prepared to take it out again in its present form”.

He added: “We will be re-working the show for dates later in the year.”
