Knowing the way West End shows are cast, its probably someone like Kimberley Wyatt from the Pussycat Dolls.
Though I wouldn't be upset if it was Nicole Sherzinger.

I don’t see a point in bringing any of the US cast over here. It’s not somebody from the Broadway cast. It’s someone new |

They will surely be announcing casting soon. They must be going into rehearsals in September/early October latest!

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.
