Amazing! I’m at the tour tonight so I’ll check the cast board for Jabba 😉 I bet Jabba does a great "things I've never felt" riff!

Something funny happened last Wednesday; someone in the front row sneezed (I'm pretty sure during I'm Not That Girl) and the floor mics picked it up so the entire audience heard it and then everyone laughed. Not majorly funny but I'd be quite embarrassed if I was the one who sneezed! Floor mics? Why would Wicked have floor mics? It has never had floor mics before? How strange....

It felt as if they had them. It was such a loud sneeze! It may have just been a loud amplified sneeze which wasn’t helped by the acoustics of the AV.

Just a quick question...
Are the US and UK Tour sets different sizes? (As in stage footprint)
If the US Tour is being based off the Gershwin Theatre set (bigger than the Apollo Victoria’s set) then surely it would be bigger?
Also, regional venues in the US are generally larger so they can accommodate large sets.

It may have just been a loud amplified sneeze which wasn’t helped by the acoustics of the AV. Even if there were floor mics (which there aren’t), they would never pick up someone in the front row as they are too far away. More likely that it was one of the cast of band

There's a Wicked/Rocky Horror stars fest on this week and the start of next, at the brasserie Zeidel Piccadily in a musical/cabaret I Wish My Life Were Like A Musical - it stars Susie Mathers and Oliver Saville- alongside Liam Iamme and Diana Vickers. Susie gets to sing notes most people can't, and Diana even sings you the key bars from Defying Gravity. I thought it was funny, fun and v well sung. www.brasseriezedel.com/live-at-zedel/i-wish-my-life.

I never even saw the the 1st UK Tour so I don’t know for sure but isn’t the set for this UK Tour “smaller” than last time? It just seemed more cut-back in Bristol than I remembered from hearing from people last time around. I’m sure everyone who’s seen both tours can correct me on this.

Looks the same to me as the previous tours.
More compact than London for sure as you haven't got the elaborate side stairs on the left and platform on the right.

Take from this what you will, but there's going to be disappointment come cast change. At least from what I've heard through my stagey grapevine.

The only people I could see potentially leaving are Martin Ball, Sarah McNicholas (if she returns) and maybe Bradley Jaden? The rest are here to stay which is a shame! 😞 (With the exception of the fabulous Melanie La Barrie!)

You'll never please all of the people all of the time. Agreed. You're better of just getting rid of everyone and starting fresh.

Whatever some on here may think, I would say this cast are very highly rated by the audiences that see them.
I'd expect Martin will want to go.
Maybe Katie RJ has had enough of a break and fancies coming back?
I expect Alice and Sophie to stay.
Bradley might too. Let's face it, fresh faces are good but there aren't that many jobs out there and there's bills to be paid! I could think of worse things than looking at that face for another year though... 😍

I was told that most are staying, including Alice and Sophie. Unless Martin wants to become the next Katie Rowley Jones I think he’ll leave, along with Sarah McNicholas (who I’m pretty sure is still trying to escape Rosa’s basement) and Bradley (because of the tour)

No other reason. 😂😂
