He is fantastic in it though. Shame he’s done his contract.

The cast are fantastic, so I will be sad to see them go. I will be interested to see who will stay - I imagine the newest additions to the cast will stay, but whether any of the originals will stay will be interesting (I can see Cassidy staying).

Here tonight for my final 2021 show. Interval time. All the leads are on. When did they get rid of Romeo being lowered in for his entrance? Now he just runs on, which is much less impressive.
Not too full unfortunately, but I presume they’re continuing with a replacement cast.
Having to hold my tongue with the girls near me telling their friends how great Alex Thomas-Smith was as the lead in Jamie!
Very good so far and just what’s needed to end the year.

I don't think they permanently got rid of it, they must be lacking stage management crew, I heard the other day they didn't do bits like the chandelier, the swing, costume change in Blow etc. |

I saw Grace Mouat last February as Juliet and - sorry Six fans - thought she was way way out of her depth. I do hope they’re going to get someone as good as Miriam for the cast change. Good luck with that. The Ann Hathaway stand in was also on. Sorry.. not a patch on Cassidy Janson.

I really enjoyed Kirstie Skivington as Anne - it's a tough ask to match Cassidy who is so brilliant in the role, but I thought Kirstie was great. I agree that Grace is not really a match for Miriam, vocally or acting wise.

Have to agree. I Found Grace to be vanilla beyond belief, and Skivington great. Its a fun show elevated to good when the full cast are on.

Having watched a bootleg of the show with Grace in, i agree that she seemed out of her depth with the vocals. Even more so having seen Miriam in it previously. I'm kinda surprised they're recasting, i assumed the 12 weeks was till closing. |

Very... unexpected. When it says she'll be joining Miriam & Cassidy, does that mean they're staying on?

It’s star casting rather than stunt casting, a musical theatre star with some extra fame from The Greatest Showman’s success, although that was a while ago now. I always thought they missed a trick not having her reprise Becky for Waitress in London at some point, This Is Me & Greatest Showman was still very much in people’s minds when that show opened and she could have put a few more much needed bums on seats. The show is lucky to have such a fabulous performer join but it does seem a bit of a thankless role for her being a replacement for a quite small part. Will definitely go to see her though, I love the show and I love Keala Settle.

It's a great part for a great actress though - Melanie La Barrie all but walks away with the show with her performance

I'd much rather see her as Ann, should Cassidy leave. Its a bigger role and some songs she can get her teeth into.

I think it's odd for a relatively well-known actress to do a replacement in a supporting role. I'm guessing they're going to have her do it in London and then she'll originate the role in the US when it opens there.

Dates certainly line up with a mid June opening in Toronto (as long as the Canadian government stop with their archaic Covid approach). |

Keala moved here for theatre in London so I don't think she'll be moving back to the US anytime super soon - she's only just got here!
