And Miss Hedge doesn't have to be from Sheffield! She could be an American teacher who just happens to work in a school.
Oooo she will rock Work of Art and that verse in Don't Even Know It.
Stage door is going to be mental!

I'd love Jordan Cunningham to play/understudy Jamie at some point. He's my favourite ensemble member, he totally caught my attention for some reason. I know he would be faaaab as Jamie. P.S. And those Instagram pics in just his underwear... 🤤 Yasssssssssss!!!

I cant find it Just go down past the gallery, past the info about the show and look under where it says Michelle is taking over. Her holiday dates are there. www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/everybodys-talking-about-jamie/

This could even open the possibility of a ru girl coming in to play Hugo/Loco Chanelle in the future. Mrs Kasha Davis/Charlie Hides? Vicky Vox (little shop) would be brilliant as Loco Channelle

I sat row X on my first visit and row C on my second. Personally I preferred row c, yes you are looking up for the duration but it wasn’t uncomfortable. That being said you don’t miss anything from the back of stalls and thanks to the size of the theatre it doesn’t feel too distant either.
Seeing the show for the second time last night completely changed my view on the drag shop scene, I really didn’t like it back the first time I saw it but I thought it was one of the better scenes last night. Think it’s one of those scenes/songs where the actor makes or breaks it. Overall I really enjoyed the show. Was great to see Luke as Jamie, really liked his take on the role. First time seeing Shobna and Lee in their respective roles (ingoring the cinema broadcast) I really enjoyed their performances, I preferred their protrayals to those who I saw the first time I saw the show.

I saw Jamie again last night since my last visit after the show just opened, which was my second visit following previews.
Luke Bayer pretty much follows John McCrea's blueprint, but his Jamie is a bit more anxious and insecure, add more riffs (that worked in some places and didn't in others). I actually preferred Rebecca McKinnis's portrayal of the tired, worried and stressed single mother. Shuba Gulati's Ray is also quite different. Her Ray is a lot more sexy and cynical, though I didn't think her jokes didn't land as much, she still owned the stage whenever she was on. Lucie Shorthouse is better than ever before. Her vocal muscles are so powerful and at ease, and she managed to bring in new details to her performance.
Stalls not very busy, but it's a Tuesday night. I hope it picks up when Michelle takes over.
Still the best and brightest British musical in ages.

John isn't on as scheduled tonight after a week and a half holiday. Luke will be on for Jamie tonight. Which is hilarious considering he was making comments about his last time on before he becomes alternate and saying farewell to being Jamie alongside Tamsin.

Do we know when Jordan is on as Jamie? I will only pay for this again if he's on.

Do we know when Jordan is on as Jamie? I will only pay for this again if he's on. No is the simple answer haha. From October 6th, it will be: John McCrea: Full Time (except Mondays). Luke Bayer: Alternate (scheduled performance: Monday and covering all of John's holidays and illnesses barring his absence). Jordan Cunningham: 2nd Cover (whenever both John and Luke are off). Obviously with rumours of John leaving, this will change come January. But Luke has been VERY consistent, so it'll be interesting to see when Jordan goes on. But I agree, I wanna see Jordan as Jamie!

Do we know which shows Luke will do each week once he becomes ALTERNATE JAMIE from 6 October?

Hmmmm... Thanks! I still have nothing booked for the 31st Oct matinee. I was planning to dayseat for BOOH, but I'll keep an eye on Jordan's social media just in case a miracle happens and he's on that afternoon. Can't wait for my theatre trip, it's been almost 10 months since I last visited London!!

Luke has just replied to my tweet. He starts Alternate performances October 8th so presumably Monday is one of his dates. Will confirm other dates and shows after then.

Daniel Johnson - you are doing god's work and I so appreciate you! I am pretty god-esque. 😂😂 No, in fairness, I don't do the umming and ahhing. If we want an answer, just ask the performer. And Luke is very active on social media and replies to everyone fast, so you want a quick response with this show, he's the one to go to.

Luke sends nice replies to everyone who tweets him. He’s even sent them to me.
And it’s a bonus that he’s brilliant as the lead!

Tamsin left the show this past Saturday. Kirstie will play the role of Miss Hedge until Michelle takes over.

I believe it was scheduled, but Michelle had prior commitments which meant she couldn't start when Tamsin left. I'm intrigued as to what the programme situation will be the next performances until Michelle starts? Will it be Tamsin or Michelle in the programme? I doubt they will have Kirstie listed for just a couple weeks? Sidenote, the website says Michelle begins on the 18th, is it not weird she starts on a Thursday?

I assume they’ll keep the current programmes that have Tamsin listed until Michelle starts. I too thought it was odd that Michelle is starting on a Thursday, assumed it was just a case of that being the first date she was available to begin. Plus they probably thought it would increase their midweek audience members in a way. Is there a reason behind cast members contracts all finishing on different dates as opposed to a yearly cast change like most shows West End do?

It gives the main cast their moments to have a "night" that is there's. Like, other shows follow suit... The whole cast of 42nd Street should leave January 5th but Clare Halse leave January 19th.

According to a post on social media, Tamsin is heading to Australia, so I should imagine it was planned
