The production was due to close, but instead extended. Most of the cast are staying on. They're going to 100% someone who is a bit of a "name", especially since it seems to be selling badly.

Just walked by The Charing Cross Theatre/Players .... they seem to be auditioning for the show? there is a panel and a keyboard set up.
Have they still not found a cast? cutting it fine are they not?
I was really expecting this to be exceptional after what they did with Titanic and Woman in White. I was planning on bringing my daughter with me as she enjoyed the novel and I LOVE the recording from the Vienna production.
Why are they still looking for actors? Are people pulling out?

It doesn’t open until September! I mean they would probably be starting rehearsals in six or so weeks no?

Danvers 100% an offer. This will have a max of 5 weeks rehearsal so at the very earliest end of July

They are going to go semi-stunt for Danvers and Maxim, aren't they? If they're going to make it through the run, they're going to have to - ticket sales aren't great.
Still think it's going to be Verkaik - other than 2 Christmas shows in Amsterdam on 23rd and 24th December, she's free. She didn't extend her Rebecca contract despite it being extended, meaning she has something unannounced in the works.

A friend of mine (holiday cover musician in the west end) has been told that the Musician's Union aren't very happy with the pay being offered something about it not being what they are supposed to pay people?! he says they have been in contact with the theatre!
has anyone else heard anything or know anyone involved?

Well this is a house production and they are notoriously poor at paying people so assume it’s the same as always but only more notable due to the size of the orchestra A friend of mine (holiday cover musician in the west end) has been told that the Musician's Union aren't very happy with the pay being offered something about it not being what they are supposed to pay people?! he says they have been in contact with the theatre! has anyone else heard anything or know anyone involved?

Ticket sales seem to have picked up slightly... still not casting news, however. Any rumours?

It is surprisingly quiet on the casting front. In this day of social media being a primary ticket driver, you would surely want to start building the hype/excitement?

I called the theatre this morning to ask about tickets and also asked when casting would be announced. I was told she wasn’t sure since they’re still working to cast the show - so…who knows when we’ll find out.

I do love when people call the box office expecting them to either know anything about the casting, or tell you even if they did know - A for effort.

I’m not exactly a “newbie” to anything theater related. I had to call to ask a question about my order and since i had her on the phone I thought I’d ask. The point of my post was that they’re still casting - so she did provide a bit of news. Sorry if my post bothered you.

Oh that wasn't meant to be sarky - having worked on a Box Office I just always find it funny when people think Box Office get told anything to do with anything...

The theatre Rebecca will be in is very small and as it is an in house production the roles are all a bit blurry im sure they would all talk to each other.

Must say whilst I’d be over the moon with it, I’d be gobsmacked if Willemijn played Danvers here.
To go from a version of mega musical proportion in the stunning Raimund theatre in Vienna to sharing the Charing Cross with the damp and mice would be quite the contrast for her. English premier or not!
Still, stranger things have happened I guess 🤷🏻♂️

That may be your experience but definitely not true of all BOs, I work in a west end box office and we’re a very close-knit team, the other staff definitely know all our names to start with!!

This is not uncommon. Moulin Rouge was a week into rehearsals before we got any casting announcements from them. I wouldn't panic just yet.

I know it's always a challenge to credit the female lead character in this story, but "Second Mrs de Winter / 'I' "!? Anyway, it's great to get some news on this production.
