It'll be interesting to see which cast members perform in this as obviously there is a BETM show in Bristol that evening at the same time.

Haydn May and Annette McLaughlin were on BBC Points West (a news magazine) yesterday. An excellent interview for the Bristol opening night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=molnd7bgA58

Time will tell - it looks like it will happen:

Perhaps it will be a prerecorded or broadcast rendition from Bristol. I have seen such things before. They do not have to be present and live.

I think I learned more from this interview with Jon Finn than I expected......and at 5.18: 'A couple of cast are going to leave before we go to Germany....' - did I hear that correctly?

You did but he also said "We've had 5 x Billys since the start", 4 x Debbies and 3 x Michaels and, later, that London ran for 12 years :D.
