Toy Show The Musical has confirmed that shows will resume tomorrow afternoon, but with a reduction in the number of shows originally scheduled for the week ahead.
The announcement has come after the musical cancelled its shows over the weekend. While performances will resume on Tuesday 20, Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 will see two shows instead of three with the 12:30pm show on Wednesday and the 7:30pm show on Thursday cancelled.
RTE have confirmed that their ticket partner Ticketsolve will be in contact with those affected and offering a full refund or an option to attend a show at a different time. "We will of course be offering full refunds," said a spokesperson. "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."

RTE took to Facebook on Saturday afternoon to tell people attending the show that it was "with deep regret" that due to illness in the cast and crew that the musical was forced to cancel its afternoon and evening shows, as well as all of the shows for Sunday as well.
The announcement came just as the show was about to begin, with audience members already in their seats. RTE said that "the team did everything possible to avoid this situation," and that they are "truly sorry for the inconvenience caused."
RTE said that the team thought that the shows would be able to go ahead up until the last minute but "ran out of time and options and had to cancel." The changes made to the schedule for the upcoming week are to "minimise the risk of that happening again," and that they "are very aware of how disappointed and upset families were that the shows were cancelled, particularly at such short notice."
