Broadway imports quite often give the female lead in London to an American to start with! Idina, Adrienne Warren, Katherine McPhee, Amber Riley.... British actresses then tend to get their shot a few months in!

She was good in Dreamgirls? I liked her. I thought her voice could have been a bit stronger but she pulled it out the bag for her big songs and she was competing with Amber Riley in the voice stakes in that show so was always going to be overshadowed there. I think she is an interesting choice and will do a good job I'm sure. I don't think it's anything to be gutted about. Now we just wait to see what the situation is for Christian, I'm getting that it's not Rob Houchen so it's interesting who they have picked. Only a couple of names really stand out for that role. Everyone is going to be cast for a good reason and I'm sure that the field was packed for this so whoever was picked must have been impressive.
Also, I dare say this will run for a good few years so there is plenty of time for a British Chistine and some of peoples fave choices for Christian.

I thought that she was bland in Dreamgirls. Deena had the looks and the lighter sound, Effie had the chops, So i'm really hoping, that if she is Satine, she was 'acting' her lighter sound and actually has something bigger to show us

In normal times an American lead wouldn't bother me much, but when the whole industry has been shut down for best part of 15 months and loads of actors have lost work it just doesn't quite sit right to import someone with so many talented local actors out of work. It would be the time to support home grown talent.

It would be the time to support home grown talent. Exactly. They couldn't find great British performers to fill all the roles? Please. It is a real slap in the face to all of this country's talent. |

So has it leaked and quickly been deleted so that HRH Bambigoye doesn’t lose his sh!t again? Can somebody possibly DM me that may have seen it?

Why any show which describes itself as "a theatrical celebration of truth, beauty, freedom and — above all — love" would choose to give any sort of exclusive to a newspaper whose editorial remit runs counter to all of those things beggars belief.
