Broadway Blues.... Joe Longthorne Cancels Due 'Car Crash' or just 300 seats sold?

Joe Longthorne: No Sicknote...

At PFNW Towers, on Sunday morning we started getting irate telephone calls about the Peterborough Broadway Theatre, still owned by one of Mr Fasulus limited liability companies. You may recall we ran some searching items on the new management company (not legally connected to Mr Fasulu and very arms length) and its' connection with a disqualified and recently jailed company director seemingly then fronting up the Broadway team. A Broadway Google search brings up the PFNW website and telephone number!

We decided not to run the story, (but would make enquiries and suggested the upset ticketholder might like to telephone BBC Peterborough and the Evening Telegraph), as we have already several times advised anyone dealing with the Broadway Theatre to always ensure that ticket purchases are grouped together so that more than £100 is spent USING A CREDIT CARD.

If the current theatre stand-alone management company goes bust, than a direct claim against the credit card company will get your money back thanks to Section 75 Consumer Credit Act! The same advice goes for purchasing package holidays where both the flights and hotel accommodation are sold and invoiced as a single item!

But back to the Broadway, theatregoers hoping to see Joe Longthorne on Friday 11th were shocked to find the theatre dark, the box office closed. No notice on the door explaining the cancellation. Even the St. Johns First Aid men were stumped as over a dozen souls waited outside.  In response to our tweet on Twitter, a spokesman 'Steve' phoned in to tell us what has been happening. He could not understand why a notice was not pinned to the door although he claimed all the 300 ticket holders had been phoned or texts sent.

We also have a sneaky suspicion that with only 300 seats sold in the 1,200 seater, Joe who clearly had his accident, could have cancelled, citing the accident, as allegedly he appeared elsewhere on Saturday apparently in fine voice and to a full house...  Ticket reclaims should be directed to 0844 850 0850
