The workshop was about 1:40 Bloody hell they really have butchered it then. What was taken out to reduce the running time so much? At the time I put it down to no set, scenery, costumes etc... my knowledge isn't good enough to compare song for song. But I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. A great fun 1:40 plus interval would be better than longer but not getting anything more if that makes sense. I have only seen tours and the workshop, never the London version to compare to. |

According to TodayTix, runtime for this will be 2 hours including an interval. Seems very short! Sounds perfect! |

(For the record, I love Starlight) Actually, if you do your research I think you’ll find that this sort of behaviour was rife amongst different trains (especially diesels) in the 80’s and 90’s, and changing it to fit a woke agenda betrays its roots. No? I’ll get my coat…🤣 |

The fandom seem absolutely convinced Millie O'Connell is (a female) Greaseball! (Could just be a rumour that got totally out of hand lol - I suspect it may well be but stranger things have happened....) |

Not sure how I’d feel about the most masculine character becoming female, but could be interesting! |

Not sure how I’d feel about the most masculine character becoming female, but could be interesting! Rumoured across social media - so not exactly reliable! I’m not in the know sadly. Though do follow Starlight “goss” quite closely! |

Also I don't think they will make Greaseball female tbh. |

I do agree though it could work but god not her anybody other than her. Liked her in Six but has been mediocre in other shows. |

says it's the professional debut for most of them, at least the leads (which I clicked on).
Wonder why only the leads are named with roles but not all the minor roles like Buffy/Belle, Ashley/Carrie (whatever the latest names are), C.B./Caboose, Dustin, the Rockies...

I've never heard of a single one of them. Same here. I have no ides how much experience any of them have however what struck me looking at the headshots was how young and fresh-faced they all look. |
