I shall find out where all the stage doors are on the tour so I can be sure to go nowhere near them.

I'd be PRETTY surprised if Baz didn't announce Gomez tonight... UPDATE: I guess I'm wrong!  Maybe there'll be an official announcement later in the morning as that's what Carrie had intended... Oh well! |

I have no interest at all to see this show but I LOVE this cast! Samantha Womack will be amazing but I am actually quite annoyed as I wanted her to do Velma in Hairspray which she won't be able to do anymore She would've been amazing in that role!! |

Awwww I am really happy Carrie has been cast in this role! And Samantha Womack seems great casting too, and considering she has done EastEnders for a decade, it will be great to see her do a much more fun role than the one she rarely gets to play at the moment.  |

I just knew Carrie would get this role, seemed so obvious. I've not seen her in a show so that will be interesting.
I don't have knowledge much of Samantha outside her role on Eastenders other than i seem to remember her being in an ITV televised Panto once quiet a few years ago? lol! From what i remember she was good.
Not see Les in anything (has he been in a show before?)so no idea on him.
I wonder who will be Gomez? If they are holding it back i think a star name...

Not see Les in anything (has he been in a show before?)so no idea on him. He's done Amos Hart in Chicago, Bill Snibson in Me & My Girl, Wilbur in Hairspray UK Tour & Mr Callahan in Legally Blonde UK Tour (not to mention a UK Tour of High School Musical 2!!!) and various different plays, and is currently rehearsing for She Loves Me as Mr Maraczek at the Menier, so even though they're going for names, at least they all seem to be bone fide.....so far! |

Samantha Womack will be fabulous. She was great in South Pacific.

Well someone from Eastenders, someone from Corrie....maybe Gomez will be from Emmerdale or Hollyoaks! I would have said Tom Lister but he's taken.... |

Press release features more venues not previously announced including Wimbledon, Bath, Sheffield, Bristol, Woking, Glasgow, Wolverhampton, Milton Keynes and Dartford. With a bit of detective work, the venues seemed to be in order on the press release so Wimbledon (16th to 20th of May)
and Bath (13th to 17th of June) fit in around the already announced dates, and from Sheffield onwards will be from September onwards, but can't find any dates for them.
Glad we now have a date closer to London.

Carrie has confirmed in a YouTube video *cue people slagging her off on here for no reason whatsoever* that she will be playing the role until November 4th so more tour dates are coming. She also included in the video a bit of the audition tape that got her cast in the role. |

I gather this is the extent of the star cast, as the rest will be relative unknowns. Certainly Gomez is.

I don't really like the sound of that song in her video. Also not fussed about The Addams Family in general so most likely will give this a miss.

I wouldn't be surprised at all of this took over a West End house for the Christmas season in 2017. A big family show like this, seems a smart venture if they do!

New version of Carrie singing Wednesday's big number from the show, Pulled, accompanied by the show's composer Andrew Lippa.

Saw this on Broadway back in 2010 with Nathan and Bebe and loved it...I love Lippa though, so not for everyone! |

Carrie uploaded a few rehearsal clips of the show - she sounds pretty amazing I must say! Especially her One Normal Night

"I also don't have my phone with me"
From the reflection it looks like she's filming it with a phone. Is she pretending? What is she? Some kind of actress? Oh, wait...
