I guess it’ll give Amber Davies something to do once ‘Dancing on Ice’ finishes. She'll be going back to Pretty Woman... I’m quite sure she’ll be hoping for more than that…

I saw it last year on broadway with no stunt casting and it's such a great show when its performed well. It's such a shame it's never done in the UK now without celebs. Totally agree. Saw Ruthie & Ute in the original London production which was superb. Some of the subsequent casts were great also. However the dancing and general energy of the last UK tour was so poor I vowed I wouldn't see it again. Really hope there's some proper MT leads in the new tour and that I'll be tempted to go back as it's a fantastic show when done well.

This old warhorse!
Loved it to death in the 90's and 00's but the production is dreadfully passé now

There have been the odd surprise with celeb-casting that has been brilliant but sadly they keep whacking it out with names that can't do the show justice. Fingers crossed they don't with this tour. Wouldn't it just be lovely to go back to the days of theatre where it didn't rely on celebrity names to sell.
