Is this a thing?? Don't remember it being announced and can't find much about it. Being produced by UK Productions Ltd. Especially for you @westendlover !!
Director/Choreographer posted a year ago about a 2017 UK Tour!! So Anthony Williams is an agent at Keddie Scott and David Barrett is a client with Keddie Scott, and also Associate Director for the production as well as playing Emmett.

Nope, think this is new news. Maybe they were waiting but than Addams Family got announced and didn't want them stealing focus. Exciting all the same.

Ooo so it isn't the same as the curve show then. Any dates announced or further casting? I wonder if they have got any celebrities in the show!

Just seen this - a full video of the London show!!! I never got to see this so I am thrilled to finally watch it in full! 
Sheridan is so amazing in this show and as Elle - hilarious! Also really like Denise Van Outen as Paulette.
For people who have seen both - do you prefer SS in this or Funny Girl? |

Wow, they really scaled this down from the Broadway production...

Wow, they really scaled this down from the Broadway production... I think it was mainly due to the size of the Savoy being not as big as the size of the Palace on Broadway. I think the set works great though!! |

For people who have seen both - do you prefer SS in this or Funny Girl? I'd say that this is a favourite show of mine, but lots of this cast (especially SS) are coasting through this big time. I'd have been really fed up if I'd seen this! My first Elle was Carley Stenson who was lovely, so much better than she is here, then Faye Brooks a few times on tour. So joyous and pure enjoyment. Who is the guy playing Warner? |

That's Simon Thomas. He was my favourite Warner during the London run.
Denise van Outen on the other hand - just no.

Fingers crossed for another LB tour too. Have only seen an amueter production of it which was great but would love to see a professional show! |

Just watched this, Denise is awful, jeez!  Sheridan is fantastic on the other hand... I like Denise but she has no place sharing the stage with Sheridan! |

As I watch clips though of her in LB, I can't believe how good she is!! I 100% think she is better than LBB (even though some may disagree) because I just think she plays the part with so much more charisma and natural comedy that she's hilarious!! Would've loved to have seen this show when it was in London. Oh and I think Denise Van Outen is actually good in this!! I think the original oepening cast was stellar though!
Peter Davidson, Duncan James, Jill Halfpenny and Sheridan Smith = AMAZING!!

Sheridan's vocals are really ropey in this performance but she still has loads of personality and natural star quality.

If we had a time machine we could travel back to see the original London cast! (I prefer SS to LBB too) |

FG and LB have been great musicals for SS to star in! Hope she do continues doubtless stints in the west end! |

Sheridan's vocals are really ropey in this performance but she still has loads of personality and natural star quality. [ The characterisation is excellent but her vocals are straned in places, and 'So Much Better' is so rushed & clipped just so that she can hit the lengthy money note at the end. Her leg barely leaves the floor when she does the kick and it is just a bit laboured & CBA. Blind admiration for such a lacklustre performance is a bit undeserved... |

My favourite Elle is Susan McFadden. Sheridan might have been slightly funnier, but she is a much better and stronger singer. Too bad that she's become a full-time member of Celtic Woman and doesn't do any theatre anymore.
2nd place would be Lucie Jones, and on the 3rd it's Barbara Obermeier (whom I've seen in the German language production in Vienna).

I agree fully with you about Susan. I was delighted when she took a break from Celtic Women to play Grizabella in Cats. She was fantastic in that role. |

Barbara Obermeier on the Vienna cast album of Legally Blonde (Naturlich Blond) is phenomenal!
