I guess? My friend who plays in the orchestra in London told me they did that as well as the tour. I didn't realize it wasn't touring the UK yet.

I agree with folks who are saying Les Mis sells based on the name itself and the success the show has had in town, and across the world. Joe Public probably don’t know or care who Killian Donnelly is.

Saw Killian at a gig a few weeks back and he said rehearsals start on Monday so hoping this means the cast announcement is imminent.

Nic Greenshields tweeted a line from the show this morning and then deleted it so assuming he's in it!

Killian tweeted earlier about "Day 1... Time to meet the family."

I was gonna go see this in Newcastle because I don’t have time to see it in Edinburgh, but as Glasgow was mentioned, I’ll probably go there instead because it’s easier and cheaper to get to from where I live.

Nicholas Corre (understudy Boq in Wicked) tweeted about starting something new today, so maybe he's in it?

Have been searching on twitter for anyone congratulating anyone on starting something or 1st day rehearsals. Apprently one of the Knights of the rose cast started something yesterday and two actresses all in the same post. A few things started apparently and only one of which I found a cast list for but most tweeted that anyway. Did find the MD and Asst stage Manager who less than coy about it but then they arent the cast so.... I guess it's different. Hopefully soon it will be announced my sleuthing skills aren't great.

Tegan Bannister is an interesting choice as Eponine.She's already in the London cast.
Does that mean they will have to replace her at the Queen's? She's second cover Eponine too.

Interesting to see Katie Hall as Fantine, I still hail her as the best principal Cosette I've seen. Haven't heard of most of the others!

Oooo the Black Widow of the West End Sophie-Louise Dann, they are sending her out on tour. A smart move by all accounts!  |

Loving the look of this full cast. Tempted to see them in Edinburgh but the prices are insane. Hoping the Festival Theatre will drop the price of any single seats closer to the day.

I seriously doubt it sadly. One of the most successful musicals, if not the most successful of all time, they won't have any discounts, I doubt it anyway. |

They don’t even have the Young Scot concession for matinees which the Festival usually have. Just goes to show how popular it is.
I actually think they could have played the Edinburgh Playhouse just fine. It’s bigger, and would mean more people get to see the show.

I wasn't going to see this tour but now the cast includes Martin Ball, Sophie-Louise Dann, Katie Hall & Nic Greenshields I guess I'll have to. I just wish they'd announced the cast before all three Saturday matinees in Leicester sold out.

Rebecca Lafferty is going to be 2nd Eponine / swing and Nicola Espallardo is joining the company I assume as Tegans track. |

I don't really care about the casting. How small is the orchestra going to be?

Any chance that venues like Liverpool or Bradford might be announced before or by Christmas? I want to go with my sister but Manchester is practically sold out and we could probably only go on a Saturday matinee.
Which venues are doable to get to from Liverpool via train?

I want to go with my sister but Manchester is practically sold out and we could probably only go on a Saturday matinee. Which venues are doable to get to from Liverpool via train? Birmingham and Newcastle are probably your best options based on the current tour venues. Personally I’m hoping that Liverpool may get a mention later on. Though the tour website doesn’t mention anything about further venues being announced. We can but hope! |
