Houchen might be contracted to remain with South Pacific if that gets the rumoured transfer

There are far more trustworthy people on here who are bang on the money every time than that article that is most likely based on nothing. There’s a big difference between discreet insiders and a gossiper.

Not Rob Houchen and an American Satine...we've really been thinking of this the wrong way haven't we!

Just announced as part of the cast for The Good Life tour, so rules her out for this.

Just as defining I guess. Margot is a classic character, and to redefine it with an Asian actress is excellent. Still intrigued to know who has been cast though.

Looks as though Liisi Lafontaine (Dreamgirls) is coming over here for it, and I imagine she’d be playing Satine. Don’t see why she’d cart over her for any other role?
Judging from her and her friends Instagram stories last night there was a send off party for her, and one of her friends posted a picture of a cake, of which was a moulin rouge playbill saying ‘Piccadilly theatre’
She was good in dream girls, so excited to see her here!

How very interesting. Fits with Mr B's info that the Satine was American too.
Very interesting bit of casting there that I doubt many people, if anyone, thought of.

She does read a lot younger the Karen Olivio in my eyes, so perhaps we will get a younger reading Christian… I always thought they’d go for people that read a touch older than Houchen similar to the casting on Broadway. I’m excited to see the rest of the cast, I assume the news on casting will come soon and it looks like rehearsals start the next week or so

liisi follows the moulin rouge west end account on instagram and she follows rob so i reckon it’s likely

I LOVE Rob Houchen, his voice is like butter. But I really don't see him as Christian. He's small and slight. Christian is tall, broad and passionate. He will sing beautifully, no doubt about it but I really don't see it working for me, I wish I did. He was amazing as the hunky Italian, Fabrizio in Light in the Piazza but that was because Dove Cameron was short and very young looking. Ahh. I don't know!! Please say it ain't so.

If they're casting along the lines of the movie he is perfect. Broadways leads were miscast in many ways. Christian needs to be and look young, naive and idealistic. I think Rob would be great casting.

I think Rob would be great casting. Exactly. I love Aaron Tveit but he was always too old for it. 37 is too old for naive and idealistic. At 37 he could be divorced and saddled with grumpy teenage children! 🤣

Thanks for that...! I didn't mean any offence! I just meant that someone who looks 37 will look like they have a lot of world experience, which Christian isn't supposed to have 😀

Does this mean a certain Daily Mail columnist has been one-upped by an ill-thought social media post about the news of a musical star coming to the UK for a tentpole production once again!

I was genuinely just wondering if any of her friends were saying where she was off to, I assumed it was a film/tv job, and when I saw that I was chuffed to know she's coming back over here!! Feeling pretty smug I cannot lie.
