Memories of seeing this with Toyah Wilcox at the Shaftesbury when the theatre was half empty!

One of the classics I haven't seen. Is it any good?

WHY?
Of all the shows that could be revived. This one will sink.

I wonder who will be cast? It has to be someone with some TV name recognition, even if they’re not the best vocally. I think that’s the only way it can stand any chance of selling tickets. I look forward to it though, as I like the score.

Very fond memories of watching the VHS repeatedly with my grandparents, so as long as casting is good I'm looking forward to this!

This is definitely going on my list to look out for.
Was the last one the actor/musician one with Jodie Prenger?

Looking forward to this. One of the shows I did in school. Will definitely be booking this time around.

Doris Day carried the movie thanks to her talent, wit and charm.
So they choose Carrie Hope Fletcher? That's...a choice

Oh, not who I invisged. I was hoping for someone like Celinde Schoenmaker Celinde would be fabulous in the role! From the teaser, looks very much like Carrie’s hair though. However, I’m not disappointed. |

Carrie Hope Fletcher starring. I was thinking I may give this a go, and then this put me right off. |

I'd somehow managed to avoid the film and the stage show until six years ago a good amateur company did it and I thought it was about time I saw it in some form.
It wasn't one of the company's better productions to begin with, sadly, but I thought the material was really weak. A poor man's Annie Get Your Gun. I'm really surprised someone thinks this is worth reviving for a tour.

I saw the Jodie Prenger tour, it was pretty well sold from what I remember.

Doris Day was one of my idols as a child and I don't want to see Carrie shout (plus that irritating little yodel she does) and badly act her way through it. My money isn't going on the lazy stunt cast option when she just simply isn't the best singer and actress out there by a long shot. If I had to see it, I'd wait for the inevitably better understudy or replacement who will make the role their own.
It will probably sell out super fast as it's such a loved musical but I wish the producers etc had more faith in their material than to cynically wheel out Carrie as the stunt cast option again. Let some real talent whip-crack-away!

Let some real talent whip-crack-away! How is she is stunt cast when she's been a musical theatre actress since she was a child and that's her main career? She is a musical theatre performer, that's her career and always has been, how can she be stunt cast in anything?! She's going to be cast in musicals, that's literally her job. I can take her or leave her, I've got no extreme opinion on her one way or another other than to say she's seemed fine to me in anything I've seen her in. I can't see how this role is completely unsuited to her either, I saw this original production with Jodie Prenger and can easily see her filling the role. |
