Threads merged. I'm afraid some of the gags were first used in autumn 2020. Awks! You can't complain in a Steps-thread about lyrics/quotes already been used. It would wipe out a significant part of their discography. 😀 Thank you. How we were to know What the Future Holds?!!

Put in a production of The Boy From Oz, with Hugh Jackson playing Peter Allan. People wont care if hes not quite the right age for it, they'll go and see Hugh in anything. I'd pay big bucks to see him do that show again. Unfortunately he also makes it very hard to find someone of a similar level who could take over the role. Lets have some new shows that have never played London and far less film to stage adaptations That's a coincidence you bring up TBFOz, I was talking about it yesterday with a colleague who'd worked on the original production in Australia. She'd misremembered that it had eventually made it to the West End. He could totally pull it off still. It would be a good high-profile job to go alongside any special announcements that Hugh needed to get off his chest. You know, what we've been wondering for years... how much longer he's going to be playing Wolverine in the MCU, I mean. Of course.

Stephen Mangan at last night’s Plaza Suite. He didn't awkwardly stand up in the middle of it and say "SJP, you're AMAZING" did he?

I couldn't imagine Beetlejuice being a big enough pull to fill Drury Lane, but we will have to wait I guess. Don’t forget it would benefit from the release of Beetlejuice 2 which is in 2025 It's sooner than that even, September 2024.

I think Penny Keith did this at the Haymarket in the mid-80s didn't she?

Antigone in the Lyttelton with a very good cast An adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath coming soon too One of your two announced today! No Ben Whishaw though, as potentially speculated for the prospective novel to stage adaptation. I still think he might be doing something at the Almeida.

I remember Mr Enoch when he was a student. I saw him as Ferdinand in The Tempest once The Hogwarts Players, was it?

Is this Daniel Evans first time on stage since Company at the Crucible? Excluding various Sondheim concerts He also did The Pride in the Studio up at Sheffield. Think that was after Company. *actually I'm wrong, that was just before he did Company. So, yes, Bobby was his last role. **not including him playing that pimp in the Les Mis film

And Daniel Evans has managed to get some names over to Stratford - Luke Thompson, Alfred Molina, Samantha Spiro, Stephen Daldry and Rupert Goold's back directing Luke Thallon as Hamlet. What have I missed in here, what is Alfred Molina doing? Ta! I think poster has confused with Alfred Enoch...

English is an absolutely fantastic play. Hope it eventually makes it to London. It's announced as a co-production with the Kiln, where it will transfer straight afterwards.

Does anyone think we might get an actual DVD of the film? Let's hope so, anita . I don't think I've ever mentioned that I've got a small part! That's unusual for a tall bloke!

Just looked at the advert proper and it's for a new play by Laura Lomas* which will be staged in the Minerva.
*Edit - just looked at her agent's website and it says she's adapting Miss Julie for Headlong for a 2024 tour.

Thought this would be the ideal juncture to start this year's thread...
Just seen on FB that Chichester are looking for supernumeraries aged 18-25 to play a movement ensemble of 'partygoers' in a play in collab with Headlong and Frantic Assembly.
Any insider gossip on what this might be?
Any other intel, bar Oliver!..?
Coram Boy was also mentioned by Barnaby.

Could the Grapes of Wrath be the Ben Whishaw play based on a book? I suppose he'd be good casting for Tom Joad.

Any more good plays coming? Antigone in the Lyttelton with a very good cast An adaptation of The Grapes of Wrath coming soon too What is it with the National reviving plays soon after their last version of it? Janet McTeer's Phaedra was only 14 years after Helen Mirren's. Now an Antigone only 12 years after the Jodie Whittaker/Christopher Eccleston production? Is Grapes of Wrath at the National too? They UK premiered the previous major adaptation by Frank Galati. You can't tell me they aren't other Greek tragedies or classic American novels that could do with an airing.

Best known to a whole generation of millennials as the second incarnation of T-Bag on Children's ITV.
Also, the randy guesthouse proprietor who tried it on with Victor Meldrew in Dorset.

Ouch, poor Carrie. For clarification alicechallice , I'm German myself, I find it strange and weird to see this post in a British theatre forum to begin with (and would find it just as strange if a Brit barreled into a German theatre forum shrieking about Gary Lineker or Wayne Rooney). And yea Beckenbauer "bought" the world cup 2006 for Germany, which was not a good look. I agree it is unusual but we have had conversations before about 'General Chat' being for whatever people want it to be, for the purpose of inclusivity. There's always plenty of football chatter around World Cup/Euro championships, of course. And we currently have a major play in the West End about football.

I have only just noticed the word 'corrupt' haha!
Sorry, Burly. I shouldn't be replying to things when I've only just woken up.
However, I did just google 'how bad a person is Franz Beckenbauer & the answer was 'not nearly as bad as Jeffrey Epstein, Oscar Pistorious or Carrie Hope Fletcher'.

And why should a British theatre forum care about a corrupt German footballer? Oh for Christ's sake, Burly why have you liked such an unpleasant comment?!! General Chat is for ANYTHING, isn't it? This is why this board has such a horrible reputation.
