If these are going to be a regular thing I’d love to see Miss Saigon next year, it’s been a while since the tour closed and we’re probably unlikely to get another full production for a while. If they’re happy to do musicals with book scenes and more pop-style scores like Kinky Boots, I’d love them to do Legally Blonde and have Sheridan Smith return as Elle for one night only. And finally, one that would never happen but I dream about, Evita or Sunset Boulevard with Patti, she could probably still do the whole thing in the original keys.

If these are going to be a regular thing I’d love to see Miss Saigon next year With Tanya Manalang please,she was absolutely definitive (and yes, I've seen Lea Salonga, Eva Noblezada, Ima Castro and loads more). I think she is just about the most underrated (in the purest form of the word) performer in musical theatre.

Kinky Boots is such a bizarre choice for a concert staging. Threads created for each of the shows so let’s move show-specific discussion to those please Chess
Kinky Boots
Treason

Years ago I was looking for a recording of someone singing Glinda's part from 'Popular' to sing with, as I like to sing Elphaba's. Came across a YouTube video of a girl singing it absolutely beautifully, used that for years. Then seeing Miss Saigon, Kim looked SO familiar. Yep, same person - Tanya.

There was talk a number of years ago of Patti & Mandy doing “Evita” for one night only here on Broadway but she shot it down. That was a while ago and I can’t imagine she’ll have changed her mind.

She is so tiny but WHAT a voice. She would make a brilliant Elphaba too, she's an absolute powerhouse. So glad you found her too!
