      It’s health and safety, they are about to pack down and insurance wise it’s not covered to have under 16s there when pack down is going on. We have done shows in similar venues where it’s the same

    It's so bizarre to see the Excel hosting a convention for just musicals fans - I was one of the first musical cosplayers turning up to MCM Comic Con at that venue, years ago, and the thought that there might be a whole convention just for us? Total daydream. Didn't make it this year, but hopefully will make it next year... and hopefully they put it slightly earlier in the year, one week before Comic Con in the same venue reduced their audience by a chunk. Anyone travelling to London had to choose between Musical Con, or the established, massive social event of Comic Con this weekend.

    I saw ads for this and was worried it would be dreadful (other comic/sci-fi cons at the same location have been shocking) so decided to wait and see. It's seems sooooo amazing and well organised! One of my favourite parts of cons is the independent artists selling their creations and the workshops and performances looked incredibly fun! Thanks for sharing. I'll start prepping my cosplay for next year! 🎶

    • @BellePullman
      @BellePullman Рік тому

      IDK but I think it's a curfew because the central concourse is public access but it's private property - they've had problems with local "Youth" hanging around and making trouble. It's weird how this massive, massive convention centre has a few hotels, then just residential areas around it, it's a local neighbourhood!
