Anyone know what Ramin Karimloo is up to? Would be great to see him and Zizi Strallen return from the 2021 concert. Or are there any other casting rumours for these roles?

I struggle to consider CZJ as a “huge star”. She was last spotted selling towels on QVC.

Ramin would have been an ideal Joe but I think his time has passed. Shame he didn't do it opposite Glenn.
I hope they cast just as strong a Joe as Norma. Both need to be great actors.

Wow! As has already been said, Glenn Close at the Coliseum with that orchestra will take some beating, but I’d love to see this again. Sign me up!
Interesting list of names though, with none of them really grabbing me. Would Mazz take a break from Mamma Mia! to do it? I didn’t see the concert version she did but can imagine she’d be amazing. Also agree Ramin would make a great Joe. Eyes peeled for the announcement later this week then!

I thought the Curve production/tour was great. The ensemble were so impressive - one of those times you can see that each of them has a clearly worked out character and never lapsed into 'general chorus' acting for a second. The concept of it seemed to be a mix of extended swimming pool tiles, and a cell. Really well directed. Would be happy to see exactly that again with whoever the touted star names are.

An announcement this week (on casting) was mentioned above. Really hope not. Bad timing with 'Aspects Of Love' not even open yet.

I'd love to see Adam Pearce reprise Max if the timing is right and he is well and able.

Can Cate Blanchett sing? Apologies if I’m being ignorant here. CZJ would be wonderful but I keep thinking about Olivia Colman and Sarah Lancashire - would be great to have a British actress.

Is Sunset a limited run or is planned to be open ended?

She might not be as big as star as she once was but I’d pay big money to see CZJ in Sunset.

They won’t have just a two month run, would they?…I’d think it would play through the festive season to capitalize on that.

Is Sunset a limited run or is planned to be open ended? At least 5 months is what I'm hearing though if it's successful then it could see an extension.

Kings Coronation concert. Turned up bold as brass, sang Reflection from Mulan and buggered off again!
She’s mid forties isn’t she? Norma is 50.

Interesting that this wouldn’t go into an LW theatre… She’ll be 45 next month which is only a year or so younger than Mazz would have been when she did it in the concert. But she looks younger and Norma is meant to be 50 so as great as I think she’d be it’s very unlikely at the moment.

The actor playing Norma isn't going to be only big star. Bartlett Sher is said to be directing though I'm not so sure about the credibility of this. It’s a british director Just hope to god it's not Lawrence Connor. Don't need another flawless show to be ruined.

Jamie Lloyd directing! Nicole scherzinger to lead as norma… This is more worse then I could have possibly imagined. He's going to nick some scaffolding from a nearby construction site and bill it as an Italian palazzo.
