You know what I wouldn't be half surprised if Laura Emmitt ends up in that cast. Ha! I called it (at least hoping it's her)

Louise Dearman has already done it, didn't she? I think so. So did Michelle as alternate/understudy

Not sure who I saw in this last time but they were terrible. I think I will stick with the earlier recordings and the film.

I was googling around and Emma Hatton said in an interview that she has Eva on her wish list.

Louise Dearman would get me to this show in an instant! but at the same time, I don't want her to miss her chance at Finding Neverland, as that role really is perfect for her!

If there's no Pellow, I'm interested! It's been 2 long years since I saw it last time so I'm due the next one.

I just moved to Madrid and might see this tonight. One of my favorite Spanish Javerts is in it. At least I can have my theatre fix here since theatre was nonexistent where I lived before.

I'm seeing a Dutch language version in Belgium next week. I also saw the last Tour/West End production in Belgium before it went to London. Evita was Madalena Alberto, but Marti Pellow didn't come to Belgium with the show. His understudy was the lead for a few weeks.

He played Che in the previous tour cast, 2010-11, then came back for Belgium when Pellow wasn't available (plus 2 shows in Aylesbury, where I went to see him. Belgium being a bit far for a day trip!).

This opens in January. Surely they must have cast the leads by now. Or is BK holding out for some ex girlband member to do it for peanuts?

I'm wondering if those of you that 'do' social media know more or can try and find out more, about casting news. All I've found is that it's "star casting", which really worries me - see above.
Anyhoo thanking you muchly in advance for your help!

"Celebrity" wise, if it opens on 24th January, they'd need to start rehearsing on January 2nd at the latest (surely even Bill wont rely on 2 weeks?)... so this really needs someone who isn't doing panto!

One week of rehearsals in December, Christmas off, then back in Jan. Opens 12th! (in Bromley). Think some ensemble casting is still ongoing, but not sure about Eva. Would've thought they'd have got it sorted by now!

Jeepers creepers can you really rehearse a show in that sort of time?
Unless they bring back someone who performed it recently... Madalena Alberto?

Tell that to Kenwright!!! Don't think I'm exaggerating (too much) when I say that his shows like Blood Brothers & Joseph rehearse for even a shorter amount of time. Heard a couple of names bandied about for Eva (Madalena wasn't one, not to say she won't be!) but I guess an announcement can't be that far away.

Yes, Kenwright has been known to launch a tour of Blood Brothers (admittedly with cast who have played roles before) with just 4 days rehearsal!!
