It will probably be Sam Barks and then a star/stunt casting for Edward. If the stars align we might get Andy Karl and Orfeh to come over for a short bit.

Moulin Rouge is definitely going in from March 2021.
I quite like some of the music from this. Well, Samantha Barks numbers anyway but the whole production looks so cheap, and we are sure to get an even more basic version here.

Amber Davies wouldn’t be an awful choice.

Amber Davies wouldn’t be an awful choice. Not at all. And really quite ‘now’.

I honestly don’t now how you can get a more basic production than what broadway served up lol

Amber Davies wouldn’t be an awful choice. Not at all. And really quite ‘now’. Exactly. Plus she’s definitely got the chops for it and she definitely looks like a Vivienne. She’d be a bigger box office draw than Samantha Barks, although it would be nice to see Barks open a musical on home turf.

Sam Barks - lacking in the onstage charisma department I fear. No ta.

I was wondering if Killian Donnelly might end up as Edward, as he is now free and did the workshop, but I believe he and SB used to be an item so that would be awkward 😂

I def think Amber might be appealing to producers because she might help to bring in the 9 to 5 type audience that Pretty Woman will probably attract, and I think she could do a decent job, but i don’t personally think she’s a strong enough actress and singer for a leading role. That said, I think Sam Barks is totally overrated - she was good when I saw it in broadway but I didn’t think she was anything particularly special ... but then a lot of that was due to the musical itself I think.

BurlyBeaR - lacking in the onstage talent department I fear. No taste. I've just been looking at the finalist photos for the 2019 Comedy Wildlife Awards & I feel these two sum up @theatremonkey & BurlyBeaR's ongoing difference of opinion perfectly!

Sheridan would be a decent Kit but she’s no Vivianne. I doubt she’d ever do a supporting role however.

Looks like it won't be Samantha Barks as she has just been announced to be in Chess in Japan which runs Jan/Feb.

If Sam Barks isn't cast, @theatremonkey wont be too happy considering he's probably bought a fair few tickets. I expect we'll see lot of PW tickets for sale on the Noticeboard thread shortly if this is the case.

There goes any thought of me buying a ticket then, the only reason I'd see it again would be for her. Unless she does a limited run at some point? Or would Chess finish early enough for her to make the last couple of weeks of rehearsals, even though that wouldn't be ideal?

Chess Performances dates are from 25th Jan - 9th Feb in Japan, so highly unlikely.
