I'm already seeing this in Edinburgh but I might see it at the Sunderland Empire or Kings Glasgow too. Both of those runs are in late spring/early summer and that would be good for me as I would have just finished all my exams - it would help me relax instead of spending ages stressing over results!

The Theatre Royal Newcastle have tweeted about an 'exciting announcement' tomorrow in regards to the show, hopefully it's a cast announcement!

I wonder if Baz will have the announcement tonight. Be interesting if they go for any names. I don't really think it needs it.

I hope the 2 leads aren't 'names' such as soap stars/x factor rejects but I think they might use that tactic for Lauren.

I saw him once in London when he was understudy, he was excellent.

Looks like I need to book in a date before December! Need to see Callum as Lola! Though I’m also very happy about Kayi taking over the role afterwards. As for Paula I’m assuming she’s playing Lauren.

I was pretty much happy with anyone other than Ray bleedin' Quinn, so hurrah! Joel was great in Myth at the Other Palace earlier this year 😀

Very happy to see Callum opening the tour, he was great when I saw him in London and constantly got rave reviews when he played the role in Oz.

Very excited about Callum and Joel! I saw Callum twice in London and he’s my favourite Lola of those I have seen and Joel was pretty spectacular in Myth!

The jury is out on Paula. I assume with this that she has been cast because she is able to do the role but it makes me nervous when the star casting has no theatre/singing experience at all, which she doesn't seem to have.

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is Paula Lane actually famous for?

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is Paula Lane actually famous for? My thought as well, never heard of her, I had to Google!

Good casting for the three leads, I'll certainly be intrigued by Paula Lane's performance!

Helen Ternent is playing Nicola. Her main defining characteristic is that she isn't Ashleigh Gray, who is the person that should be playing Nicola

Her main defining characteristic is that she isn't Ashleigh Gray, who is the person that should be playing Nicola Ashleigh could very possibly be the Heather Chandler for when Heathers transfers to Haymarket. Two similar actresses to her have played the role (Amy Ross, Jodie Steele) which makes me think she could get it. EDIT: I’ve just been imaging “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World” sing in Ashleigh’s tone. It’s interesting to say the least.

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is Paula Lane actually famous for? Coronation Street! She played Kylie Platt for a number of years. I’m looking forward to seeing her as Lauren, im spectical as I’ve never heard her sing before but she is a fabulous actress at least. As for the other leads I’m glad they’ve stuck with MT actors rather than names, looking forward to seeing all three of them. Wasn’t planning on seeing the tour until after the London production had closed (no early venues are that close to me) but I need to see Callum as Lola and this seems to be my chance, looks like a Saturday matinee trip will happen (if I can get a Saturday off work that is)
