Kat’s on her way back to London so I guess she’ll be back in the show either tomorrow or Wednesday?

I love how they call it a “formal cast announcement”, I guess the informal one was when Lucie’s face appeared in Times Square 3 months ago!

WHAT??? Sara is playing Jenna for 2 dates? I don’t think it’s confirmed? Just gossip so far.

Does anyone know if LW Theatres would let you exchange seats to somewhere else in the auditorium but for the same performance if you call up? I’ve noticed there’s some seats in the circle now down to the same price that we’ve paid for back stalls and they look a better deal.

Isn’t it a bit odd that we still don’t have a Jacob or either of the Potiphars? Maybe they’re trying to secure names? Or various performers doing it on rotation like they have going on in Sweet Charity?

Who doesn’t love a conspiracy...Jessica Vosk’s last show on Broadway today, which should finish around 10pm UK Time! You heard it here first folks. Now that occured to me too actually!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to exchange Six tickets for another performance? It depends on who you booked it with. If you booked with the box office via the websaite link or in person they may charge you an admin fee to change performance date. The 3rd party "Six Tickets" (which is a supplier called Ingresso) have different T&Cs. You'd need to contact whoever directly. If you let me know who you booked it with I can point you in the right direction. I booked with Six tickets, I thought they seemed the most "official" ticket agent. Thanks for your help!

I really hope they invite Gina Murray to reprise her role as Velma from the last tour. She did such a great job in a so-so role. She really did, and she sung the hell out of her songs!

Ariana Grande didn't do bad as Penny in the NBC Live. She would fill the coliseum undoubtably but whether it'd would be the right career move is another question! I love Ariana but there’s NO WAY she’d do this! She’s selling out arenas right now, she’s not going to come to London for a small role in a revival.

It would be nice to see a different actress now that Brenda’s done two tours but I have to agree her voice is spectacular, was moved to tears last time.

They should announce it soon hopefully and end all the nonsense. 11 weeks until cast change. I mean YOU are the main source of the nonsense but ok...

Regardless of everyone's opinion about her, I think KMP is the real MVP (see what I did there?) for doing all 100 shows so far, in such a vocally demanding role, especially since every other principal has already had days off. Agreed, Jenna’s quite a role to do 8 times a week!

Has it definitely been confirmed that this tour version will go into the WE after the tour concludes? It’ll be a different set because the tour’s going into 2020/2021, but yes it’s this production going into the Queens by the end of the year.

It won’t be Laura Pick. I can just tell. They wouldn’t promote the standby for the third time in a row (Emma, Alice) Well they say bad things usually come in threes!...

If it’s Helen AND Charli I’ll be so disappointed because I wasn’t really fussed on either 😬 (don’t shoot me)
I wouldn’t mind Laura though even if there are more exciting choices out there!

John Owen Jones superior to Alfie Boe in the role in every way. The subtlety in his voice, the color, the nuances, the acting, the building of the notes, the changes between the notes, the changing of intention in a note. He is a master of this craft and especially in this role. I find his performance to be incredibly refined, sincere and truthful. Boe is a good operatic singer, but lacks all nuance and leans on technique and loudness most of the time. Are JOJ's dates announced? Monday and Thursday evenings plus Wednesday matinees generally, with a few exceptions depending on Alfie’s leave.

Is this going to go on tour? I caught the last tour in Dublin twice and each time left the theatre on cloud 9. A perfect example of a feel good musical It’s touring from Autumn 2020 but I think it’s the “small” version again.

This is so exciting! Hairspray was one of the shows that really got me into theatre and it’s still a firm favourite. I’m so excited to get to see the original production rather than the small tour at last! BRING. IT. ON.

Touring again next year! It’s the “smaller” production again but I still think it’s a joyous, enjoyable show however it’s done.
Edit: Oh wow they’ve announced this quite in advance, opens SEPTEMBER 2020 in Manchester!

It Tootsie comes they better bring Santino Fontana with it! My friend’s loved him since Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and that voice! I guess he’s sort of a niche star on the same level as KMP in Waitress so they might bring him over?

do we think she would already have a Tony for Wicked had she indeed played the role instead of Idina originally? Without a doubt. If Idina could win one for the role SJB would have done too, especially as she was a well regarded Elphaba when she did get around to play it. Anyone know why they replaced her with Idina after she'd played Elphaba in all the workshops with Kristin Chenoweth? I think one of the reasons was because Idina was a Tony-nominee for Rent, I think they just decided that Idina was more of an experienced actress at that time.
