Hahahaha this is the current struggle we are having. We don't know. The date is the 12th October form what I know the struggle is they ARE REFUSING TO ANNOUNCE THE CAST DEFYING ALL LOGIC Not to mention that one of the principals, Djavan van de Fliert, has only 3 weeks left! Is the new Enjolras starting sooner? Are we bringing someone back as temporary replacement? Is Ben Culleton going to be covering the role for that time? WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?! |

For Operation Mincemeat, the official cast change announcement came the next day so nothing would surprise me…

I know JVJ does seven shows a week. Is the actor always off on Mondays or does it vary?

I know JVJ does seven shows a week. Is the actor always off on Mondays or does it vary? For the most part (and for the past couple of casts) this has been true. On a few rare occasions, this might change (Chris Jacobsen, the Valjean alternate has done a couple of Friday shows). And on even rarer occasions, the alternate doesn't go on. This has happened for Milan I believe 2 times, though they might give him an extra day off the next week. But GENERALLY if you go on on a Monday, the lead won't be on. |

Maybe there is no cast change 🤷🏻♂️
Wouldn’t someone in rehearsals have let something slip on the evil Twitter by now!

By this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they just continued the show with AI projections or showed the 2012 movie every night instead of a live performance! GIVE US THE NEW CAST! |

Can’t believe we’re in a legitimate race for what happens first cast members leaving or their replacements being announced And I can't even see the sense in it. Like, are contracts still being finalized? Do they not want to hype up the new cast? What is the hold-up? |

I’ve been if it’s not this week it’ll definitely be next week in the announcement for the best part of a month |

Cast change isn't for another month. Rehearsals started this week. Many shows wait for rehearsals to start before they announce. I believe it will be announced next week, this isn't abnormal you're just impatient.
Last year the cast announcement was also made 3 weeks before they started.

I am definitely guilty of being impatient! 😂 The cast last year was announced on August 10th for a September 25th first show. Now, we're a month away and still nothing. And Djavan has a week left, we don't even know who's going to be playing Enjolras for the interim before the official cast change! |

It does like seem like a lot of the Les Mis focus and PR-attention is on the opening of the arena tour at the moment. That starts in Belfast on Thursday, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the West End announcement is being held so as not to clash with that…
With Milan staying to mid-Oct there’s still a month to go, although I know others are leaving / have left sooner.

Ah I was looking at the post on their website rather than WoS, but the PR company for London has changed in the last year

the tour does change the timeline slightly. they'll have held the west end casting announcement to space it all out.

LOL - how funny! A pictorial announcement!
Lovely though it is to see a pretty picture, is it detailed anywhere who all the new ones are and who they'll be playing!?
Edit - my bad - I can't work IT. Found the full thing.
What a great cast! I'll be there repeatedly as per. (Though I am sorry Will Callan isn't staying).

Ian is a great piece of casting. He was outstanding in JCS and I can't wait to see his JVJ.
