I’m guessing a few from here will be there tonight? Looking forward to reading your reviews.

I know you’re just having a joke Mr B but seeing as this board is a place for many theatre lovers to come and talk about their passion and love of theatre without judgement from people who don’t understand, it’s not really a good look to make fun of someone for wanting to see a show multiple times.
I think it’s a great production with a brilliant lead in Jac Yarrow and Linzi will elevate it even more!

Even more excited now oh my god! Just a shame that Ramin probably won’t be doing the title song with his top off seeing as it’s a concert version 😒
But Mazz, Ramin and a huge orchestra playing the Sunset score is gonna be theatre heaven.

I wonder what will happen with the tour if Sutton has to leave by early October I don’t think Megan was ever doing the tour anyway though, or was she? They could probably cast a British musical theatre star for the tour and it would still sell with the other three names attached.

Just like Judi Dench’s “foot injury” that caused her to pull out of Cats 😏

They’ve now taken it off the Facebook and Instagram accounts again, what a mess!

I’ve decided to go to the 15th anniversary show instead of reopening night in the end, I wasn’t at the 10th and have always regretted it. Can’t wait to celebrate my favourite musical with hopefully a load of alumni.

The 28th (no show on the 27th) is showing as 0 availability in the stalls so I guess they are doing something special for the 15th anniversary. I am right that it was the same for the 10th right, with the stalls reserved for ex-cast/celebrities/special guests and us plebs left with the circle?

I’d love to see Rachel Tucker or Louise Dearman as the Witch, they’d both have the acting and singing chops to do an amazing job I think. This won’t be a very popular choice with many on here but I think Sheridan Smith could make a brilliant Baker’s Wife, I think people forget sometimes that she’s a brilliant actress with both straight and comedy material because we just remember her hamming it up on stage in Joseph two summers ago. It would be a full circle moment for her too having played Little Red Riding Hood at the Donmar probably over 20 years ago now? I LOVE the idea of John Owen-Jones as the Baker if they don’t decide to go for a name.

Has anyone else signed up for priority booking and had any email yet? The website says general sale on the 17th so this presale must be pretty soon. I’m stuck between going to reopening night or to the 15th anniversary show. I guess it’s unlikely they’ll do much for it anyway, it’ll be just 12 days after they’ve got the show back up, and we still don’t really know how everything will be by then for them to start organising a green carpet gala event again.

There’s 40% off some tickets for the London run on TodayTix right now.

Full cast is up on the website now. I know we knew most of the principals but I think Jamie Muscato as Enjolras is new info. www.lesmis.com/concert/cast-creativesAlso Dean Chisnall is listed as Valjean as well as Jon Robyns, so I don’t know if when they said “various celebrated Valjeans” would do some shows they meant just him!

The theatre token offer does seem to be gone, big shame.

I’ve found the Death Drop/Jamie etc. deal on my app but I can’t find the theatre token one anywhere?

Carrie’s photo on there makes her look more like Elphaba than Cinderella!

Evelyn sounds likely seeing as she was about 8 weeks into her contract when everything shut, I wonder if they probably sent offers out to most of the supporting cast/ensemble from the final London cast? Sandra wouldn’t surprise me either since she had a very short run, plus I guess there’s a tiny bit of name recognition from her awful stint in Emmerdale... Lucie’s meant to be in the Les Mis concert until at least September though.

Not another announcement of an announcement 🙄
Still, excited to see who they’ve cast and to be getting my pie show back this Autumn.

I think it’s fair that Alyssa’s charging more though, she is arguably the Beyoncé of Drag Race in terms of fame and recognition, up at the top of the most successful queens who’ve gone “mainstream” along with Bianca and Trixie. Sounds like it will be quite a production too.

The Waitress website now says the tour starts in Wimbledon beginning of September, so any dates before that will be rescheduled again.

I find it hard to believe that there has NEVER been a narrator of Sheridan’s body type in 50 years of various London productions and the endless Kenwright tour. It’s absolutely ridiculous at any rate that people are even discussing her “size”, to start with she’s not even plus-sized, she was a very “normal” weight/body type during Joseph and she always has fluctuated between skinny and “average”. Secondly, it literally doesn’t matter jack sh*t what the narrator looks like because she’s a NARRATOR, she’s not even actually “part” of the story, she’s just telling it to us, it could literally be played by anyone of any shape, size or ethnicity. But most of all, whatever size she is does not need to be discussed at all by anyone on here because it’s none of our business, whether it’s from a “casting” angle or not.

She’ll sing it brilliantly but I’m guessing they’ll be dropping the comedy angle/narrator playing multiple roles? I can’t imagine Alexandra being good at comedy AT ALL.

I agree. It's refreshing casting - seems far more suited to the role vocally and physically than Sheridan. More suited physically? Sorry but what’s that supposed to mean?

Like the pandemic and Katie Rowley Jones’ second run in Wicked, the drag race content this year is never-ending...
Starts 1st of May, they haven’t confirmed where it’s gonna air in the UK but I’d guess it’s between iPlayer like Canada or WOW Presents Plus.
