#croydonsaurus sequel

[personinthepalace]

Hi! I’m just curious about a random history question—I’m watching through MMNI and noticed that Croydonosaurus is stated to be part of a Sequel Sunday like the Look Out movies, but then Back to the Tutor airs a few days later with no mention of a Croydonosaurus sequel? I was just curious as to whether you (or anyone) remembers what went on with that particular show—was it canceled? Or did it happen but just wasn’t recorded? Thanks!!

Yes I do remember! The sequel was cancelled bc someone in the mmni team tested positive for covid in btwn shows. Literally 30 mins before the show started, Jonathan Sayer told the Zoom panel that the sequel show was cancelled. This message was later sent to everyone who bought a ticket for that show:

And this message was posted on their social media:

The next weekend, they had a whole new cast on. The emergency cast consisted of Dave Hearn, Lauren Shearing, Bryony Corrigan, Ellie Morris, Laura Kirman, and Matt Cavendish. Dave and Lauren were already listed as part of the summer cast but Dave had only done 2 shows up to this point while Lauren hadn’t done any yet that summer. Ellie was pulled from tptgw west end, Laura from tptgw uk tour (if I’m remembering correctly), and Matt from Groan Ups uk tour. Jon remained as Oscar.

Hope this helps clear things up anon! It was truly a wild time, but the Mischief community was very kind and supportive through it all!

What do you mean that mmni was two years ago?!?
