Surely Siubhan is a bit, well, bored of playing this role? I mean, she is great but it isn't exactly the most exciting role in the world is it. It's a lead role in a West End musical. I'm sure she's fine. Israel seems odd. Is there a big theatre scene over there? Ime there is a fairly decent theatre scene there.

Congratulations to the whole cast! Happy trails. Wait... didn't this show close on the 21st August? Did it extend by 7 days? In the article I read about it's closure it had said the 21st.

Maybe it did, I may be going insane, I thought it closed today. Ah no, you are correct, it did close last weekend. Kinda sad that there was no buzz on here about the final performance, that is probably why I got confused. Shows it kinda had met its end at the right time.

Perhaps the ushers and the box office staff have been there rehearsing all week to stave off the boredom and invited Rebel to come video their show this afternoon?

Went past the theatre on the night bus last night (well, early this morning) and they are obviously in no rush saying goodbye to Guys & Dolls as all the marquee signage (bar the main show logo & dice at the very front) is still all up!

Oh is it?! That's really interesting. I wonder if they get any tourists going into the box office and asking for tickets to Guys and Dolls?! I would've thought they would've taken it down by now and started putting up The Last Tango signage. However, they could just leave it for the moment if they haven't got that signage yet - just like Savoy did when G&D left and there was a gap for FG to come in, they didn't put up anything on the marquees

It definitely looks like the show is still playing there. I also thought the signs would've come down straight away even if they don't have anything for Last Tango (though surely they could put some posters in the frames if nothing else) to avoid confusion, exactly like you say!

Yes, I popped into Foyles between shows yesterday & was surprised to see not only the signs up but all the light bulbs flashing too. It definitely makes it look as if the show is still running.

It's only running in Tel Aviv for 10 days so maybe they just thought it's a good chance for a holiday lol Also could we just discuss the fact that Rebels vastly superior understudy is going to be playing Miss Adelaide out there!! Those audience are in for an absolute treat!

Those audience are in for an absolute treat! Yes, nice to see Lucy get another shot at the role, especially after sadly being put back in the ensemble after filling in on tour. Since Lucy also has a part in Sweet Charity, it seems like Guys and Dolls, as well as of course her other credits, has really helped her profile. It's a shame that there isn't much of market now for actresses like Lucy to develop into a West End leading lady apart from in shows and roles like Mary Poppins and Glinda in Wicked, which I think she could be a good fit for.

Did you see her on the tour? I think the problem is that she's such an incredible dancer that she's almost too talented to be in a leading role in some aspects. I've seen her cover some amazing roles, Miss Adelaide being one of them, and she is extremely talented, a triple treat, although vocally and acting wise she would make an incredible Glinda it would almost be a waste for her dancing ability not to be used to its full potential. The perfect role I've seen her in was Cassie in A Chorus Line, it gave great opportunity to show her off as a brilliant singer and actress, whilst still showing off her incredible dancing ability. I've never seen Sweet Charity so I'm not sure what her role in that includes.
