Hearing some interesting casting rumours for this.
If the main one comes true, I hope they have enough marquee space for this performer’s many surnames (or maybe she’ll just go by her mononym).
I at least hope they don’t let her be a payne to any toilet attendants at The Phoenix.

If she is cast I genuinely can’t work out if that would make me want to go or avoid it like the plague!

A nobody with scant talent desperate to be famous at any cost. I'm guessing that's not quite how they would have put the gig across to her but still . . Someone in casting has been very naughty if it is her methinks.

Given that she is also supposed to be returning to X Factor, she is going to struggle to even maintain a Martine level of attendance

Can she dance though?

Are you kidding? If any of her talents are genuine, it is her dancing ability! She's danced dancer and, from seeing her live, her dancing was the highlight of the show. Fantastic dancer, don't worry there.

Is there a list anywhere of the various casts throughout the year? Trying to remember who I saw the different times I went to see it.

Sheridan Smith? For her triumphant return to the WE stage...just not on Mondays...that will be Natasha Barnes. Natasha may also do Tuesdays, Weds, Fridays, and the matinee on Saturday...

Or Sheridan as Velma and Natasha as Roxie, snapping at her heels 😆

As much as I thought Sheridan was overrated in Legally Blonde, and horrible in Funny Girl, I always thought she'd be a good choice or Roxy. She can't pull off a Velma, though. Roxy's dancing can be modified for a non-dancer, but Velma has to be a great dancer.

Roxy's dancing can be modified for a non-dancer, but Velma has to be a great dancer. I always have wondered why the "celebrity" always took the role of Roxie and never Velma but this answers it. I wouldn't have thought Roxie was an easy part though - perhaps its easier to get by in it. Have luckily avoided the worst of the stunt casting so have always seen people who can actually act, sing and dance the role.

It's not an easy part at all - and arguably Roxie is the star of the show. If you remove her from the equation, there wouldn't be a story. But Roxie's dance numbers are modifiable. She's on a ladder in Funny Honey, she's on a lap in We Both Reached for the Gun, and in "Roxie", it's more like style and movement than synchronized and intense dance steps. Me and My Baby is really the toughest one for her, but that has been modified for all sorts of dance abilities throughout the year. The intended choreography that Ann Reinking and Ruthie Henshall did is pretty advanced - but like I said, there are simplified version. Nowadays is again more about movement and style, and Hot Honey Rag is very basic again, and the cartwheel bit has two alternative endings instead for less capable dancers.

Cuda Gooding Jr is on The Graham Norton Show tomorrow night, with Imelda Staunton. Perhaps there will be some exclusive news...or perhaps not!
