They won't be printing these babies at the box office. Looks like a limited print run to me. The hand applied sequins are a nice touch  |

Or maybe box office collection. I actually don't know how I ordered mine. Maybe I can still order them? It would be nice to have those because my ticket is for the first preview. BurlyBeaR can you take a picture and show us?

Might be a good idea to blur that barcode if it carries ticket-specific information.

I'm disappointed now. My ticket is just a boring old regular one. But it was a present so I'm not complaining.

I was watching a Q&A with Beverley Knight and she said how she would've loved to have had a role in dreamgirls but she thinks she's too old for a part. I would've loved to have seen her added to the cast, maybe she auditioned? But then again it overlaps with her commitments to The Bodyguard

I was was watching this video of Alexandra on YouTube and I think she would've made a great Deena!! I know the dates would've overlapped with Sister Act though
What do you guys think?

Whilst I don't know if she would of been a great Deena overall, I do still think that Beyoncé/Alexandra duet is one of, if not the best X Factor moments ever. It is simply stunning and gives me goose bumps every time I watch it. |

I'll never forget that fried egg she had round her neck.

I love Alexandra and it'd be interesting to see if she ever auditioned for Dreamgirls

It is simply stunning and gives me goose bumps every time I watch it. Hard to believe that was nearly eight years ago! Alexandra's certainly done well since then, and I'm very glad - she was probably the only X Factor winner I ever thought was a true "star", to use the clichéd word. That was definitely the best X Factor moment for me, very special. I think she'd be great in Dreamgirls, not sure she could take over from Amber as Effie, but she'd be a great Deena. |

I think Alexandra is a lovely lady and a great singer so I'm glad, too, that she has done well for herself in terms of both her musical career and now a caterer in theatre. Yeah I'm not sure if she would be an amazing Effie but if Amber leaves the show when her contract is finished and the show still wants a name in it, then maybe Alexandra could be brought in to play Deena? I think she'd be great and timings would probably work post-sister act?  |

I have realised I forgot about Leona Lewis, probably the best singer to ever win the show (though Alexandra was a close second). Both brilliant discoveries from that show, so I guess it was worth having in the end! Though perhaps not so much anymore...
Anyway, back on topic - when is the Sister Act tour scheduled to finish? Is Dreamgirls definitely an open-ended run?

Is Dreamgirls definitely an open-ended run? Don't know for sure whether Dreamgirls is open-ended or not but I believe it would be and it isn't advertised as strictly limited. I presume they'll extend the booking period once the show opens. Kinky Boots only had around 3 months on sale too when that opened but extended more. Sister Act is currently on tour until 27th August but more dates could be added. Alex could go into dreamgirls after that maybe or she could leave Sister Act early? |

I love how we're talking as if Alexandra Burke joining Dreamgirls is actually happening, when the original Dreamgirls cast are yet to give a single performance and Alexandra has just embarked on a tour with another production!
Isn't there a Performers section (or the Sister Act thread) for talk about Alexandra?

Isn't there a Performers section (or the Sister Act thread) for talk about Alexandra? Nah we were simply speculating and stating the fact that she would be good in Dreamgrls hence why it's in the dreamgirls thread. And we got into that topic because of the video of her singing Listen on the X-Factor. |
