why are most of the male cast members just referred to as Brother? They do have individual names!

Theatre producers everywhere must hate authors who write shows such as
7 Brides for 7 Brothers (why not 2 Brides for 2 Brothers?)
Snow White and the 3 Dwarfs (2 if it's a Bill Kenwright show).
2 Guys Named Mo.
The Witch of Eastwick
The Pirate of Penzance.

A source tells me that all members of the chorus will be carrying mirrors throughout the show to make the cast appear bigger

Anybody know whos directing this designing this lighting this? Brand new production? Nothing on the LWwebsite. The revival production is directed by Laurence Connor (School of Rock, Miss Saigon), with choreography from JoAnn M Hunter, design from Morgan Large, lighting from Ben Cracknell and sound from Gareth Owen. Casting is by Stuart Burt with children's casting by Joanne Hawes. From the WhatsOnStage casting announcement. |

One can only hope. The 1991 orchestrations were dire.

If anyone's still looking for a Richard Swerrun recording, there's a CD on eBay atm, but it's £50. They've been showing up semi-regularly at lower prices though.

I think the 1991 orchestrations are great. They give so much colour, variety and fun to the piece. Some of it might sound dated now, but I hope they don't change much of it. |

I know I'm set in my ways regarding the 1991 production but that 2014 prologue was awful. it's bad enough putting Any Dream Will Do at the start of the show, let alone bringing Joseph into the prologue too! It makes no sense. It feels like an American Idol sing off.

Which is basically to me the problem with the 1991 recording - it likewise feels a knock off of whatever SAW tat was in the charts in 91.
I quite like the recent Dutch recording. It has a bit of oomph.

I notice the logo has the same gold as the new Palladium version - was this tour by the same team? That video sounded absolutely awful  |
