Due to illness, a number of shows were cancelled at the weekend, but it has been confirmed that Toy Show the Musical will return to the stage on Tuesday 20 December with a special sensory-friendly performance 12:30pm.
However, a number of changes have been made to the schedule this week, with a reduced number of shows taking place. The 12.30pm show on Wednesday 21 December and the 7.30pm show on Thursday 22 December have been cancelled.
A spokesperson for the show said in a statement: "It was with deep regret that due to illness in the cast and crew Toy Show the Musical had to cancel a number of shows on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 of December.
"While there is a significant degree of resilience in the cast, where roles can be covered by understudies, given illness persists among a cast of predominantly children, it is necessary to make further adjustments to the schedule this week.
"On Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 December we will be reducing the number of shows from three performances a day to two, cancelling the 12.30 show on Wednesday and the 7.30pm show on Thursday."
The spokesperson confirmed that Ticketsolve will be contacting those affected regarding rescheduling and refund options.
They added: "We will of course be offering full refunds. In addition, for those who missed the show due to the cancellations, we would like to offer a 25% discount on tickets to attend a show this week or next. We sincerely hope those affected by the cancellations can find a time to come and see the show."
The statement also said that The Toy Show the Musical team have been monitoring and responding to ticket holders on social platforms and are "very aware of how disappointed and upset families were that the shows were cancelled, particularly at such short notice".
The spokesperson said: "The team tried its very best to make the shows happen, but ran out of time and options and had to cancel. The adjustments we are making to the schedule this week are to minimise the risk of that happening again."
Toy Show The Musical runs until 31 December at The Auditorium, Convention Centre, Dublin
