I'm not sure how Wicked can overtake any of the ones above as they all seem to be 'everlasting' shows I'd hazard a guess that out of the 7 above it, Stomp will be the next to go. Then Mamma Mia, but that is a lot further down the line. |

Still haven't seen four of them - and no intention of ever changing this. Same, I haven't seen four of them either. Though I am desperately wanting to see one of them.  |

I have a feeling that your four are the same as my four. I'm so not into plays, so I haven't even heard of The Woman in Black, but I think that the first three are here to stay. Also agree that Mamma Mia and Stomp might be the next to close, but it'd still take Wicked quite some time to surpass them (if it'll ever run that long). And I for one wouldn't mind Lion King closing rather sooner than later, either. |

One of the ones I haven't seen is one people would be surprised I haven't seen, but it is only because I don't really have an interest in it. The other three are kinda obvious as you don't really hear about them a lot, they are just there. But The Woman in Black is one of those three and that is the one I really want to see!
I liked The Lion King... but it was also a letdown, not as good as I thought it would be.

Only two I haven't seen and most likely never will see. Still, 8 out of 10. Not too bad. :-)

Jersey Boys is one of the ones I haven't seen... but it just hasn't appealed to me. I will eventually go, but whenever I intend too, something else comes to London and directs my attention away. But of the four I haven't seen (Jersey Boys, The Woman in Black, Stomp and The Mousetrap), The Woman in Black is the next on my list.  |

You've sat through Thriller? Whoa. Well who would've thought that?
My four are Thriller, Stomp, Mousetrap and Woman in Black. As I've said before, I'm not into plays, so I'll never ever see the latter two. And I wouldn't even see Thriller and Stomp if someone paid me. Just no. My time is way too valuable for sitting through these two shows.

The fact that thriller is on that list - actually, even that it's on a list of shows that have ever played the west end - is depressing as hell

Seriously though, The Mousetrap and Stomp. I think I'll survive without seeing those two. I wish I could add Thriller to my "haven't seen" list. |

I've seen them all. I enjoyed both Thriller and Stomp for what they are although I agree that it would be better to get some new stuff in...

I've seen 9/10 of these shows. Just missing Thriller - Live. My Mum invited me to see it with her but I declined  ! I really enjoyed The Woman in Black and The Mousetrap (until the person behind me threw up on me, but that wasn't the fault of the play). I am often underwhelmed by plays but I'd happily see both of those again. I'm one of the people who finds Jersey Boys a bit mediocre. I like the music and cast, but the storyline is so generic. There was a rather dramatic fight in the upper circle on the night I went though, right in the middle of 'Fallen Angel'; a big shouting match, culminating in one guy pushing another guy right down the stairs. They were evicted from the theatre. So that trip was also memorable. I wouldn't go again. Stomp was interesting for about the first 10 minutes, then the novelty wore off and I got a bit bored. At least the ticket was free. |

In recent news...
Carina Gillespie was scheduled on as Glinda for the latter half of this week (14th-16th April) but due to illness Helen Woolf has done all four shows. On 15th and 16th April, Lauren James-Ray has been on as Nessarose.
At the matinee today, Emma Hatton mid-show switched and Natalie Andreou took over, Emma is presumably ill (16th April, 2016)

On the Wicked website, on the Cast page, they've removed the "Cast subject to change from ...." Unless i'm going crazy i'm sure it used to be under the Holiday dates?
Does this mean cast change plans have changed ?

But of the four I haven't seen (Jersey Boys, The Woman in Black, Stomp and The Mousetrap), The Woman in Black is the next on my list. Jersey boys is brilliant would really recommend it for u I saw it last year was bored for the first few minutes of the show then it starts getting better once sherry started playing |

Did we lose all the Wicked fans in the move to the new forum? I was expecting this thread to have 10 times as many pages as the others already!

I am a huge Wicked fan, but I was never of the thought process that we had to discuss every single move of the cast on every given day. |

Some of the fans are currently avoiding the show until the cast change has happened. I for one haven't seen the show in London since its last cast change (yep, that's more than six months), and I'll finally be seeing the new cast the week after next when Emma Hatton is on holiday.
I guess this thread (and its tour sister) will become much busier when the new cast has been announced and eventually taken over.

I love Wicked but I'm just not interested in the current cast. The last time I saw the show in London was Kerry's last in October 2014. I'm hoping that the next cast change will draw me back.
