Gutted I won’t make it to this before if closes but with it touring it’ll probably reach me at some point, I hope to some extent some of the cast continue with it as I’ve heard good things about a lot of them

Eh, as annoying as it can be I feel like she has a right to discuss kissing him considering they’re now a couple 😂 she does overdo it at times though and moreso during Addams

I’d at least like studio versions of You’re Welcome and Never Shut Up Again, all I have of them is crappy audios so I’d like to hear properly done versions where I can actually make out the lyrics

In my opinion a ‘gender neutral’ uniform should be allowing skirts and trousers for boys, girls and everyone in between that, not leaving just one option

Does anyone know why the song Blue was replace by You're Welcome? ‘The reason for this is due to the show's creators feeling that the song was lazy and trivialized date rape, whereas "You're Welcome" sees Veronica expressing fear for her situation rather than annoyance.‘ According to Wikipedia anyway! But I think it’s a good transition considering the state of the world right now.

Never caught this last time but I’ve heard mixed things, is it enough for a fun night out or is it downright awful??

Alright I’m now going to need some more information on this audience interaction. I’m a single male with a front row centre ticket and am now DREADING it! If anyone would be so kind as to share what this interaction entails and when it happens (in spoiler tags) I’d appreciate it. If you watch the video of the cast performing Shine A Light, you’ll see what you’re in for 😉

I presume this might have something to do with the Bohemian Rhapsody movie? Good planning if so

Someone I know goes to as many performances of whatever touring musical she's into at the moment as she can, and stage doors every time, getting a photo of her with whatever actor it is she's into. She posts on instagram with repeated almost identical photos of herself with the poor bloke, tagging him in every time. Recently she's been following a touring musical and has seen it say 4 times a week almost every week, and has posted at least 20 photos of her with the same poor bloke on at least 20 separate occasions. The other day she posted about taking him presents. The bloke is looking more and more desperate in every progressing photo, smiling in a *please rescue me now* kind of plea. I imagine that this is nothing on the scale of some of the obsessions mentioned in this thread, but I still find it utterly mind boggling. I feel that I may know who this is, I won’t say her name just to be safe but did she happen to make accounts for multiple Wicked tour cast members?

Did anybody go to the first preview last night? I’m hearing pretty good things so far

This is lowkey one of those shows I've wanted to see for years, so I'll be there! Granted I'll go to a midweek matinee or night in November/beginning of December in an attempt to avoid as many children as possible. Be mindful of the school groups 😉

Star Casting announced, Matt Terry playing Alex The Lion. All together now...who? This feels like a name that I know but I’m not entirely sure, which is a pretty sure sign that he isn’t that great

Does anyone really want to see this without David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst etc? This is a fair point - a lot of the reason I still love the show to this day is the cast, they’re gonna have to really nail the casting for this for the fans to love it

It just struck me that this would’ve been really amusing in Drury Lane because of the opera episode, it wouldn’t do well there at all I don’t think but the ideas pleasing

Hopefully this will be affordable enough for the rich or poor 😉

I just want Piers to be paired with another bloke. Not sure if his masculinity could handle that.

I went to the Globe to see Much Ado About Nothing back in March when it snowed. 2 hours in -3 degrees, couldn’t feel my feet but the cast were flawless! Does that count?

The second that dress change happened I was completely transfixed and in awe, not even bitter about the ice castle anymore

Yeah I get what you mean. It’s one thing tweeting someone congratulating them on the show and /maybe/ dropping in that you wished you hadn’t missed them at stage door (wouldn’t reccomend though) and flat out mentioning them and potentially posing them as a bad person

Our Country’s Good at the Birmingham Rep! I’ve no idea what it’s about but I ended up with free tickets

Has anybody heard much about Tanya’s performance? I’ve seen things about the production itself but nothing about her other than her fans insisting that she was amazing

Another point that’s being missed: yes casting directors would be looking for bigger girls for Tracy, which is evident in Rebecca Mendoza’s casting, but in this circumstance they’ve promoted an understudy so it’s debatable whether they looked at all. That sounds like exclusion to me even though I’m sure there were no malicious intentions.

When I saw it back in October it was Rosie O’Hare who wore a fat suit, she’s the understudy who’s been promoted to a principle. It definitely wasn’t played for laughs when I saw it so it’d suck if it’s that way now, I personally found her portrayal really lovely at the time

There’s a distinct line between physical appearance and personality that needs to be recognised. The job of an actor is to play somebody different to themselves most of the time, but there’s an issue when a main character is meant to be a larger girl is being played by somebody who will probably never face the same weight-related issues. It juxtaposes everything that Hairspray is about as somebody above said.

Why bother telling stories about fat girls if you're not going to cast them? Because the beauty of showbusiness is that actors play with traits that are not their own. Actors do play with traits that are not their own, but I wouldn’t exactly categorise weight into that. Hair colour and youthful looking makeup are entirely irrelevant to the plot than the weight of a character in a show like Hairspray where the main character is meant to be a larger girl.

I saw Rosie O’Hare as Tracy as she’s currently the understudy, In that circumstance I understood it because in the context of the show having larger ensemble girls in the Corny Collins show makes no sense. She was an amazing performer, but I don’t agree with her full casting.

So how long do we reckon it is before this closes? I have a feeling that the Phoenix may take a broadway transfer and shut this down in the next year minimum
