How fabulous. I didn't know that feature existed. I still don't know why Moya only gets two shows/week - she is amazing! LOL I presume Moya will be doing all the nights this weeks as Marisha is on holiday leaving Karen to probably do the Wednesday Matinee and the Saturday one too 😊😊

It’s too she sounds nasally and usually screams instead of singing 😐 and tbh she can’t sustain being full time Effie as I predicted , she seems to be getting a bad reception lately. What indications have their been that she can't sustain her scheduled performances? And a bad reception from...who? The standing ovations? There's always going to be people who prefer different performances, but just because you didn't enjoy her performance, it doesn't mean she's no good! Check out her recent and I am telling you on YouTube. It’s extremely bad let’s be honest.

So the dreamgirls cast are in the London palladium for a magic event! However, why is Jocasta Almgill performing with the cast even though she left?

That's the first time i've heard Marisha sing AIATY because i've avoided it due to possibly seeing her in the role in the future, and i have to say, it doesn't sound my cup of tea. I prefer the smoother vocals of Amber and what i've heard of the other two. I agree. She sounds out of breath and I don’t like the tone of her voice. That’s exactly how she sounded when I saw her in the theatre too. Don’t get the hype. She puts me off going back - would have to be sure of seeing one of the others, although I’ve seen Karen very early on and wasn’t bowled over. I agree. I have never gotten the hype surrounding Marisha- I agree with what you said about Karen. at the start of her run in 2016 it was so messy however now she has really gotten in the role and she is so good. I have seen Moya and I think she’s the best out of the 3, possibly due to her experience. I just don’t get why Marisha is hyped so much 🤨

Oh is that certain? Looks like I'll be seeing Karen, I hope she's good! Karen is good, don't worry. She's the weakest of the three I have seen, but that doesn't take away anything considering all three have been great anyway! Her "I Am Changing" is the strongest I have heard! I have to agree! It’s pretty much a case of what “type” of Effie you want to see really. Karen is my personal favourite but this usually varies from person to person. I believe Moya is still doing Fridays show as she just came back from a holiday and I am pretty sure she’s not sick?

Who performs on a Friday if Moya is off? Will it be Marisha or Karen? Karen because she covers Moya

New trailer being filmed today, and hopefull, as Marisha, Brennyn and Asmeret are in their "Move" outfits, we will get an actually get a trailer rather than three seperate clips of "One Night Only", "Steppin' to The Bad Side" and "Dreamgirls" badly edited together and called a trailer. I've watched Marisha's instastory and "I'm Lookin' For Something Baby", "Move", "Steppin' to The Bad Side", "Dreamgirls", "And I Am Telling You" and "One Night Only" were filmed, so at least thats something! Really exciting! I think at this rate they are going to film some parts of every scene so Moya and Karen are in the trailer

Some people see rather into pitting the effies against eachother don't they. I think this thread is about articulating your opinions. Not to have a dig to a fellow user just because you cant deal with their opposing opinion

Her aiaty was very weak and no standing ovation was given. Why on earth should a standing ovation be given at that point - it's mid-show! Amber didn't get one then when I saw it. I think you're vastly overestimating the number of audience members who a) even know which Effie will be on (or even that the role is shared at all) and b) are repeat visitors in the first place. No-one is going to be universally liked, and even if you are reflecting the majority opinion (which doesn't seem to be the case judging by this thread) the effect on ticket sales is going to be minimal compared to if she was a star name getting badly reviewed. There is no name carrying this show, so ticket sales are not going to live or die on one person's performance. First of all just because this thread favours Marisha it is not a representation of the average person who will see the show once, this thread is majority Marisha fans. a) A standing ovation is usually given after aiaty and btw once the show was finished only about 20% of the theatre gave a standing ovation.That explains everything to me and the fact that nobody really felt it was a good performance judging by the atmosphere. b) My point was that moya could be the catalyst for ticket sales because she really has the stamina and the experience with the story to go with it. Marisha is struggling. And I guarantee you that some people go to certain shows to see a certain Effie so a name is ultimately still driving ticket sales.

So I have just seen the evening show. And I must say that the new Deena was incredible. Brenny has such a nice tone to her voice and brings a much more mature and raw side of Deena. The new Marty is decent. All of the rest of the cast were fabulous. Especially Kimye Edwards as Michelle, such an upgrade from Lily! However I felt extremely dissapointed with Marisha’s performance. Her aiaty was very weak and no standing ovation was given. It seems to be this will be a recurring theme as I think she can’t handle the amount of shows. I was so dissapointed with the second half, it was almost like she was gasping for breath. I think my predictions were true, she has way too many shows meaning that she can’t handle the stamina needed. So dissapointing as it seemed everybody was too. Karen and Marisha split opinion due to their very different types of voices so mabye Moya should get the most shows? She has the experience and the stamina it seems. She’s also the closest to Amber meaning that people will not be let down with the different “flavours” of Effie. At this rate the show will close I think as Marisha isn’t living up to expectation and she divides opinion. Such a shame. ? Marisha's getting the same amount of shows as Amber did... Yeah but I think Moya should get the most as I think Marisha is secretly struggling and Moya because apparently she has the stamina and the is the only Effie of the 3 that doesn’t divide opinion too much!

Are there any reviews on Moyà yet? I saw her last week and found her to be exceptional. She is an "older" Effie than the others I guess, and so she brings a lot of maturity to the role - making her act two particularly strong. Very much enjoyed her performance. Just Karen to see for me now, but I'm done with the show for a while now (6 visits now) In your opinion do you prefer marisha or Moya?

Does anybody know what it’s lkek to sit stalls Row N 29 or around that? I’m seeing the show form this seat. Is it alright? I know the rake is good I’m just wary about how far it could be from the stage and how it’s on the end of the row? Monkey could you help? Is it too far back you miss out on some action? Thanks anyone! It’s a good view! You won’t really miss anything out and due to the distance you will be really be able to see the bling on stage and the costumes properly. Compared to the first few front rows because of the high stage, but at the same time you may not be able to see the facial expressions. It’s dependent on what you like in a seat view.

Most definitely. I'd still be glad to see Karen live. I can only comment on the audio but I'd always reserve full judgement until I've seen a live performance. Are there any reviews on Moyà yet?

New Audio of Karen Mav singing And I Am Telling recently. Judging by this audio she has really got the hang of being Effie. Pleasantly surprised by her originality and it's her own rendition of it now! I feel like Karen holds some notes a bit too long. Also didn't really hear any emotion in what should be a very emotional song. I agree but it may be a case of actually seeing the performance with the acting?

So Dreamgirls opened a year ago today. Interestingly enough though, Marisha has just out on Instagram today is also exactly a year since she moved to London for Dreamgirls. So she wasn't so much the last minute, emergency cover we assumed, Ruth must of been out of the door before press night even came around? Nope. She came on January without knowing, very weird On January she came with a 5 day notice.very very weird

Where you in the concert? Why was it cringe and bad lol? I didn't go personally so I couldn't comment from a personal perspective, but i heard from a friend that went it just felt a bit awkward, she was going a bit crazy with the riffing and belting, even on the softer songs. More a desperation to prove herself an a natural performance. I'd be interested to hear more from those who went, so anyone who did, please report back I still wonder why she got dropped. She’s such a good singer. Even better than Karen tbh. She just doesn’t know how to control it most of the times it’s a shame because she has such potential.

Its worth noting though, that in fairness Ruth played in a smaller venue,was on some theatre fan radars because of the Dreamgirls curiosity and had a bit of familiarity from The Voice. Not much, but a little bit more than Marisha for the general public. That being said, by the sounds of it, it was clear from what has been said of that concert it was right for her to not be Effie. Where you in the concert? Why was it cringe and bad lol?
