I am wondering are any of these casts worth seeing Matilda, Aladdin,Kinky Boots, and in addition has anyone seen Kooza in Australia?

I am asking because the comments on 'The Voice UK' page state a lot of 'who is she'?

There's a video of behind the scenes of the EPK, followed by the finished product. Looks pretty much the same as the West End and Broadway production. anyone who has been to Sydney's

I literally cannot wait for this. And it's got the glorious Gavin Creel in it too (who was so brilliant in 'She Loves Me'). If my grandmother wasn't a dead, alcoholic Nazi I'd sell her for a ticket. he was too ! Having seen him

Sheriden Smith Rhoe Thornton Graham Norton (even he will agree) Claire Sweeny Sian Phillips Cilla Black (marmite to many RIP) Amanda Holden Sarah Harding and many more - they aren't singers such as Kimberly Walsh! Sheridan Smith and the Olivier Committee might disagree with that.

The body of work may be impressive, or maybe they had just one massive hit show. The reputations are huge but how much of it is/was just fabulous style over very little substance? A few suggestions: Elaine Stritch (God rest that woman's soul) Michael Crawford Judi Dench Hugh Jackman Carole Channing Twiggy Richard Gere I have a few more but fear being run out of town if I say them . Dare me? Compared to all the singers in the industry today. Broadway talent are much better than anyone that has a record deal then anyone I have ever heard. I have always considered Broadway one of the few places to have real talent. Rather than auto-tuned crap Actually all of those actress/actors can sing. What is the point of this thread ? For instance why on earth does Katy Perry or John Newman have a record deal ?

At least they got a proper Jasmine (coincidentally, Broadway's Aladdin's sister), and Michael James Scott isn't a bad Genie either (seen him on Broadway when he was the standby). Yes but I am fro Brisbane, And do not want to waste my money. Going to Sydney costs so much money. And personally would would rather see NYC theater. But if its good I will go. Seeing Hamilton was so good

She has done so much for Broadway. And she should do what she wants to do.

He is clearly going to get the Helpmann Award. He could have taken the Olivier Award too. I love him he sounds and most importantly acts amazingly. His character is so well defined.
PS.Why do we have so many American and British Actors in Australian Musicals not that I am complaining they are a good find

I just find it hard to believe there were no French speaking actresses that were available for this production

Just announced as part of the Sydney Theatre Company's 2017 season, running from 6th November 2017. "The film’s original writer-director PJ Hogan has updated his screenplay into a dazzling new stage show, bringing the story into the present but keeping all the irreverence and naughtiness of the film along with its dark edge. Director Simon Phillips (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) leads a stellar creative team, with eye-popping sets and costumes from Gabriela Tylesova (Love Never Dies) and original music by award-winning singer-songwriters Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall. With a big cast and a live band, this will be the theatre event of the year. With songs by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus & Stig Anderson originally written for ABBA " Sydney here I come

Better than Hamilton (and hamilton was amazing) this musical was so intelligent and so well written. Someone also should mention we do not get these in Australia.

Just seen the first look video, I obviously knew this was happening but hadn't read too much about it. Very interesting seeing just how similar but slightly different to the original production it looks. Very strange seeing an Eliza dressed in the same costumes I've seen in old photos. Just looks awful

I've seen a lot worst in some of the West End's most recent hits. (I'm thinking of one in particular.) I am not sure I know the one you mean
