THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE, due to run at the Alhambra this week, has been cancelled.

The show, starring Hayley Tamaddon, was due to have run at the Alhambra until Saturday.

In a statement from the show’s production company, the producers said: "We are extremely sorry to have to announce the cancellation of the UK tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie.

This has been caused by lower ticket sales than expected, which in turn has put the company producing the show in financial difficulties and they are no longer able to continue with the tour. The show was wonderful, and received excellent reviews as it toured the UK, but despite this, ticket sales were not strong enough to maintain the viability of the show.

"Our hearts go out to the brilliant cast of the show, who sang and danced their hearts out to bring Thoroughly Modern Millie to audiences all over the country. Sadly, and regretfully, the show is now cancelled.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this cancellation will cause everyone who was planning on seeing the show."

Bradford Theatres are notifying customers and providing full refunds to those who had booked to see the show.
