Shamed BBC Star's Tour Struggles to Fill Seats
Tickets for John Barrowman's new tour, "Laid Bare," are being handed out for free as sales remain sluggish. The former Strictly and I'm a Celeb contestant vowed to address his tarnished reputation during the tour, following allegations of inappropriate behavior on the sets of Doctor Who and Torchwood.
Free Tickets Offered for February 5th Show in Kent
Despite the tour's upcoming date on February 5th at Tunbridge Wells Assembly Halls Theatre in Kent, tickets for the event are being distributed for free. Show Film First, the sales site, is only charging an "Access Fee" to cover administrative costs, with no additional charge for the tickets themselves. The theatre's direct site indicates original ticket prices ranging from £32 to £42 before additional fees.
Struggling Sales and Sparse Seating
With the show just two weeks away, the seat map displays numerous unsold seats, with the cheapest tiered stalls priced at £32 having only 18 out of 310 seats sold. Less than half of the £37 stalls tickets have been purchased, leaving over 300 seats vacant in the nearly 1,000 capacity theatre.
Barrowman Hopes for Comeback Amid Controversy
John Barrowman's tour was anticipated to mark a return to the spotlight after facing career setbacks due to misconduct allegations. The actor expressed his devastation over the past three years and aimed to address the accusations during the tour, emphasizing a desire for transparency and entertainment for the audience.
Barrowman's Defiant Response and Tour Details
Barrowman dismissed the allegations as "bulls***" and defended his on-set behavior, attributing it to script requirements. He promised an engaging experience during the tour, featuring a mix of Broadway classics, contemporary songs, and a candid question and answer session with the audience.
John Barrowman, who currently resides in Palm Springs, California, with his husband and parents, is determined to reclaim his reputation through his tour despite the challenges in ticket sales.
