So why are they drip feeding us casting news ? Probably because their hand was forced by the paper leaking and then EastEnders confirming he's leaving What paper ? |

Has it now been confirmed somewhere that the UK&Ireland 2018 tour cast will also be doing Zurich? It hasn't been confirmed publically, I imagine that will come with the full cast announcement, but yes it is the same cast doing it  I just don't want to see Ms Nutella again, so I'm a bit over-cautious. |

Haha how could I forget that?! But yes I agree sort @shady that's not likely to happen now! Although she's one of my fave's so I would be happy with that if it had happened! |

You'd have thought they would announce Elphaba and Glinda at the same time - they will have been cast by now so why just do Fieyro?! I know they're on the back foot today but silly to just do one! Amy Ross as Elphaba Helen Woolf as Glinda Jessamy Stoddard as Standby Elphaba I was actually told the other month that Jessamy is gonna be the standby on the tour, so we'll have to wait and see |

The social media does seem to always say UK/Ireland tour 2018 and not mention Zurich. But there is no way they will cast an entire show just for a five week engagement while simultaneously casting an entire show for the new UK tour. |

Somebody I know who is in the ensemble is doing both Zurich and the UK tour, so I assumed that would be the same for the entire company.
Agreed it makes no sense to rehearse a whole separate cast for the short engagement in Zurich, but who knows.

It doesn't make sense to rehearse two casts when one would do.

How much time is between the Asian/International tour ending and the Zurich engagement? Could that cast still be doing Zurich?

The International Tour ended on July 2, and the Zurich engagement starts November 14. Thanks - so it's unlikely that this cast will also be doing Zurich. |

Yeah I agree, it cannot be the ex-Asian cast as Jackie Hughes has other work lined up and some of the cast have already confirmed they're not joining the next tour, so there would be a number of roles they'd need to fill including Fieyro!
I just can't see how it's not the new UK cast doing Zürich unless it doesn't happen and they cancel it!

Has it now been confirmed somewhere that the UK&Ireland 2018 tour cast will also be doing Zurich? The Zurich cast will be different to the UK & Ireland Tour cast Aaron Sidwell has confirmed through Twitter that he is beginning the tour in Zurich. I believe from this it is safe to assume that both Zurich and the UK & Ireland Tour are both part of the same tour and will feature the same cast. |

Excellent news and confirms what we all thought was the logical option that Zürich will be the start of the tour!

It only makes sense that Zurich will have the same cast as the remainder of the tour. I don't know why people believe that they would have a different cast, I find the notion quite ludicrous.

Agreed. That said, I do find it plausible that individual cast members could do just Zurich. For example (and I know this won't happen!) if they signed up Rachel to open the tour, but only for the Zurich stint. But yeah, no way it'll be a whole new company. And welcome to the Board deej4life...we don't need to ask who your favourite Elphaba is  |

The Kings of cast recycling were never going to hire a new cast for two months only. What would be the sense in that?

I'm not sure anyone actually thought it would be a separate cast despite someone posting otherwise!
