Also there was Jocasta's tweet about 'extendingthefamily' on Sunday so they must have been rehearsing the new cast then.

I'm surprised Emma Kingston only came in for such a short run but maybe that's all she wanted to do.
Kimmy Edwards and Ryan Reid are both in Dreamgirls so must be leaving too.

Maybe, but the way she's worded it is a bit odd if that's the case.

They've not announced anything, but there must be. Jocasta Almgill, Philippa Stefani, Josie Benson and Cleve September are all leaving on the 4th of September but no replacements have been announced. (There are probably more leaving then too). If I remember correctly some replacements weren't announced until after they started back in April... I wonder if this'll be the same. |

I wonder why they do that with this show. Lily Frazer just left (although there's questions about that), Eve Polycarpou's just come back with no announcement that I can see; has Norma Atallah left then? Christine Allado left suddenly meaning Emma Kingston was brought in. Maybe I'll pop in to the Theatre on Monday the 5th and see what the cast board says (unless anything is released in the meantime). Actually, I've just checked Twitter and Eve's only back until the 4th of September. Maybe Norma's on holiday or who knows?! |

She already replied to a query about that. They only do one matinee a week so she just meant that she had two more matinees left but she's staying until the fourth.
I saw a tweet that worried me that it might actually be closing on the 4th but we'll wait and see.
Has anyone tried booking for after the 4th?

I have the "last show" booked.
I keep asking people frim the cast when I see them (just had my third time since Friday) but they can't tell anything. It is sooo weird!

I just tried booking for after the 'last show,' and it let me go all the way (without actually paying of course).

This has got to be one of the most confusing cast changes ever!

There may only be two cast members in it by then.

It is seeming very likely a cast change is occurring with all the tweets about extending the family. And they wouldn't hire a new cast for just a month I wouldn't of thought so I think it is safe to say it will extend.

If they extend it then it'll probably close in January around the same time as The Railway Children.

I too think it will close in January/February. It will give the cast a solid 6 month run I would imagine.

Lin Manuel Miranda said he would try and see it in London. It would be a shame for him not to see this cast before the 4th of September.

He was in London a few weeks ago but I imagine when he's here he's just too busy with Hamilton West End/Mary Poppins 2 stuff. Plus he did see it at Southwark. Alex Lacamoire saw it a couple of weeks ago, he posted a photo on Twitter of him outside the theatre.

Let's play a game to pass the time until we have an announcement. If you could choose any British actor or actress to star in this show, who would you pick and in which role?
I'll start:
Sally Dexter as either Camila or Abuela. She may be too tall and not quite fit the description but I would love to hear her sing the hell out of those songs.

Dammit. I though I was a shoo-in for Piragüero!
