Um, okay, let me have my own opinion. Maybe you've got the wrong Deena, are u sure you didn't see one of the understudies?

I thought she was weak tbh, idk if she was just having a bad night, but she was disappointing... WEAK!? Oh wow, no way! She's the strongest Deena I've seen vocally and acting wise. You must of caught her on a REALLY BAD night then as I've seen her when she's been sick and she still sounds AMAZING

What did you lot think about liisi? I MISS HER!! The show isn't the same without her, it's like she was apart of the show, like an element of the show is missing, i don't know whether that's because i saw her in the role around 35-40 times but still she will always be the best Deena in my eyes and i really hope she gets BWAY with Amber!!

Did anyone manage to go to last nights show? Really interested in what the understudys are like, especially all being on at once! Yep, i went to the matinee! Nicole as Deena, AMAZING! Like a younger Liisi just needed to be a bit more louder in a couple songs. She plays a very Kind Deena when I'm used to seeing the angry more growly side espeically in Heavy! i think she's better than Brennyn tbh but gotta give Brennyn more time to improve! Jayde was amazing as Lorrell just like watching a younger Asmeret! And Emma as Michelle, perfect! She looks so sweet and young on that stage so i felt bad for her when Effie was shouting in her face she looked so innocent bless her. I've seen the show 50 times now! Liisi will always be my Number 1 Deena! Miss her a lot!

Looks like they're filming Strictly today according to Marisha's Instagram. She was dressed for One Night Only. No, they're just rehearsing.

Which performance this weekend will the covers be performing? Will it be both the matinee and evening on Saturday or just the matinee? Both shows! With Karen as Effie for the matinee and Moya as Effie for the evening

Excuse me!? I strongly disagree! I saw Liisi over 30 times. She is the best Deena we will ever get! B is no way as good as Liisi!! Rude much? Calm down, its just an opinion and just because you have seen her 30 times doesn't make you the expert in all things Dreamgirls. And how can you know Liisi will be the best we get when she has only just left and other actresses are yet to try the role. This poster was in no way disrespectful toward Liisi, so there is no need to get so agressively defencive. Didn't mean for it to come across agressive. Liisi got this role perfectly, she understood everything about the character and that's why she's so going to BWAY with Amber next year

And on another note - I saw the matinee today with Moya and Brennyn and they killed it. B is better than Lissi ever was - her sheer stage presence was incredible and she only had a week to learn the whole show she didn't step a foot wrong. Moya was incredible - her acting was better than any of the girls that have come before her and her vocals were insane. I'm so happy that all the bad blood from the first company seems to have been weeded out. This show felt slick and full of energy. So happy that this is continuing! Excuse me!? I strongly disagree! I saw Liisi over 30 times. She is the best Deena we will ever get! B is no way as good as Liisi!!

What were the muck ups? There is like, no talking in Dreamgirls bar maybe 20 lines, and the rest of it is just manic dancing around and alot of costumes and wigs! Liisi did quite a few funny movements and gestures etc, Adam brought out a bottle of champagne in Ain't No Party, Marisha pretended to be drunk in "Move" and the stepsisters won the talent contest

What does "especially when sang to the score" mean? I.E. as opposed to making up entirely your own melody and just hoping for the best? As in it's obvs more difficult when loads of riffs are added, espeically higher key riffs like the Fiyero Riff

I’m sure this has been asked before but how much of a bigger sing is this than Elphaba?! I’ve not seen the show but this alternate/Standby/how many shows do they get thing is quite interesting! Elphaba is way easier, i sing myself and I've sang all the Elphaba songs and the Effie songs and the Effie songs are much harder, Elphaba is easy especially when sang to the score

Joe Aaron Reid has hurt his ankle so won't be going on tonight, guessing that means Rohan Richards on as Curtis for the new cast's opening night. Ryan and Rohan have swapped, Ryan is now first cover, Ryan was on tonight

I saw the show tonight was was talking to an usher who said Marisha would do Mon-Thurs & Sat eve. With Karen on Sat mat and Moya on Wed mat and Friday. But Moyas first night will be Wednesday night. Not sure if this is accurate but guess so? That could be right, as Moya tweeted someone saying that Friday is a definite, maybe Marisha and Moya will sometimes swap on a Wednesday then

Moya has put in Twitter that on average she’ll be on Wednesdays and Fridays. I’m assuming Marisha will do Thursdays and Saturdays? And Karen will do Monday & Tuesdays? I'd guess it would be more Marisha does Tuesdays and Saturdays, Karen does Mondays and Thursdays. Then no one has two days in a row. Marisha and Moya get three shows, Karen gets two. Moya is doing weds eve and friday's so thats 2 shows not 3. Karen is doing matinees, Marisha Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. That's what I've heard

During my last visit (1st November) Sophie was a different Glinda! She nailed it and seemed much more settled in the role! 👍🏼 I saw Laura Pick during her September dates and was dissapointed, something was missing! The sound was bad but she just didn't seem to have a powerful enough voice for the role. I hope she has grown more into the role now she has more shows under her belt! Yeah, not a huge fan of Laura

Oops sorry yes I didn't make that clear, I was asking if anyone knew the last time Carina went on. I can hear my university lecturers in my head telling me to be more specific........ I will never learn! May 2017 I believe

And with Zoe and Natasha both having left then we’ve got another new Elphaba too. Elphaba: Amy Ross Nikki Bentley Amy Goodwin 2nd u/s Glinda: Helen Woolf 1st u/s Amy Goodwin (assuming Amy remains 2nd Glinda as last time) Fieyro: Aaron Sidwell Benjamin Yates 2nd u/s Morrible: Kim Ismay 1st u/s Emily Olive-Boyd: Boq: Iddon Jones 1st u/s 2nd u/s Wizard/Dillamond: Steven Pinder 1st u/a 2nd u/s Chistery: Jack Harrison-Cooper Midwife: 5th is all that matters... Grace Chapman is 2nd cover Glinda and Amy is third so i wonder who is 1st cover

I know Marisha is on tonight, do we know who is doing Amber's holiday dates over the next couple of days. Marisha has a fair few shows coming up, so hopefully they will give Karen a couple too to make it fair! Marisha is on Tuesday. Karen is doing both on wednesday as Marisha is going away. Unless Candace makes her debut!

My only problem is Alice's facial expression, she's almost smiling and I don't think it fits with the mood of the poster. But otherwise it looks gorgeous. She looks vulnerable just how her Elphaba is and it's perfect

Amber is most defenitely worth seeing. Marisha is over rated for me personally. When is full announcement on cast change scheduled. Has it been confirmed if Adam Bernard is staying. If him and amber leave this show drops down a bit for me in quality. Adam staying is more important than amber almost for me personally. Amber and Adam are confirmed to be leaving. Liisi is 90% confirmed, she said she could change her mind as it's extending

What do we think of Lily Frazer as Deena and Karen as Effie?? I love Karen as Effie, although I do think she tries to imitate Amber too much - her voice is not for growling - and if she were to find her own way of singing the songs it would be much easier for her to sing without straining. As for lily Frazer as Deena... awful she had the weakest voice I've ever heard as well as sounding like she can hardly breathe whilst dancing (don't understand how she got raving reviews for her in the heights performance because it doesn't translate into DG). Let's just say there are better choices for Deena. Karen has removed all her growling now Saw her today for the 4th time and she's improved alot!

Correct me if I am wrong, but don't we only know for sure of one pwrson who is leaving, that being Amber? So theres no point being sad if the others may be staying! And even then, knowing what is gonna happen afterward, I'm half and half happy and sad Amber will leave. 😂😂 Amber, Liisi and Adam are the confirmed to be leaving cast members.

New to this thread so apologies if this question has been asked in the past 194 pages, LOL! I am heading down to London next month and this is on my list of things to see, now do I pay £50 for the chance to see Amber (on a Sat night) or £20 to see her understudy on the Monday night? I'm on a budget so the the £20 tickets would allow me to see other shows, but i'm not sure whether I'd kick myself by passing up the chance to see Amber. Any thoughts? I say see Amber, and there might be 23 pound seats on TodayTix a few days before as there are on TodayTix for this Saturday evening
