I saw Melissa and I thought she was absolutely amazing, dare I say a revelation. I would rate her higher than Rebecca and (controversial, I know) Josie, I thought she was amazing. I too agree she is fantastic. Would be lovely to see her take over the roll |

Who's the guy running this account? I swear I've seen him stagedooring somewhere... I recognise him, I think he has been a big fan of other shows too, I know he has a YouTube channel of him when he was a fan of Bend It Like Beckham, where he would go to stage door even when he hadn't gone to the show etc. |

I wonder if it’ll be in concurrent with the West End production? 2020 is a long way off, although I can't imagine it being one of those shows which plays both the West End and tours at the same time. |

I could be completely wrong but this to me reads as if they show could be closing at the end of the current booking period in September? Or there could be a mini cast change like before.

A tremendous show that has had a decent run and surpassed my expectation after a slow start, built an audience. Still maintain on Saturday, they should’ve done a early evening and late evening show, like Hedwig did on Broadway, the area is very bohemian and hedonistic and comes alive more in the evening, so could attract a different audience. Great news that on the back of its West End success it can launch a UK tour, would do well also as an off Broadway show. |

Soooo... any early opinions of the new cast ? Very good for a first show with an almost all new cast. Lovely but behaved audience all the way through. Lots of clapping and cheering. Shane Richie really stood out. Excellent and the crowd loved him. The sound balance needs a bit of work with the new cast. Show seemed fresh. Jamie Campbell was sat three seats away and very popular. Handed the woman in front tissues when she cried during He’s My Boy. The swings were watching from one of the boxes. Layton Williams was good. Not sure the chav gear look suited him. Added a flip and some other nice dance moves. Hasn’t quite good the vocals yet. A few minor line slips. Shane Richie forgot to get the microphone out at the start of his number. Sejal Jeshwala, came across as a sexier version of Ray. Hayley Tamadon was an excellent Miss Hedge. Sharp and the best I’ve seen. New ensemble were tight. Sabrina Sandhu has potential and a good voice. Not quite got the presence yet. Only off scene was the dance for If I Met Myself Again with the same two dancers as before, just looked odd with Ryan Hughes being white and Marlon G Day being black. They’ve chosen the mix of ethnicities very carefully everywhere else so that just came across as odd. Instant and well-deserved standing ovation at the end from the sold out house. |

So I've just seen the video of the new casts first Finale. I'm hoping I'll warm to Layton over time. I'm not a fan of his voice in the Finale but I can't judge his entire performance from that.
What has annoyed me though is the curtian call changes. The order has been changed for the bows clearly just to accommodate Shane's casting, which has also come with music changes to the bows. So after Luke Baker bows, Hayley bows as normal, but then it's been changed to Ray bowing next, followed by Pritti, then Hugo, then Rebecca and Layton. I don't like this change at all, it feels like it was done for no reason other than Shane because it has worked for all the other casts to have it be Miss Hedge, Hugo, Ray, Pritti, Margaret then Jamie. And also, to follow on from that, Hugo's Finale outfit has been changed from what was fun and fitting with his character to nothing more than jeans, a T shirt and a sparkly red jacket. Kinda not on board with these changes.

There is no way this will close in only 8 months. It's selling quite well and the festive season will do well with the tourists etc. If a show is running to October, unless there is something already lined up, they usually go until January at the least.

What you must remember is Shane is a "huge, huge star" and probably has it written into his contract!
