Ghost The Musical - U.K. Tour 2024/5

Was she bad?

Oh dear! It's sad that we were proved right, really. It sounds so much worse than we collectively imagined. I'd seen BK's SOM tour and thought that it was a really strong touring production with good sets. I don't know if I feel sorry for Sarah or not. Has somebody lead her to #believe that she's smashing it? I can't help but laugh at the timing of having someone nail 'With You' on The X Factor Last night. What a shame, one of my favourite musicals ruined.

I think lots of people won't want to go and see this show regardless of the cast because it had just been touring not that long ago.

Pass - I doubt casting would make much of a difference on this level. Certainly Sarah/Andy have caused negativity, but they would have also raised interest for some people on a different level.

A solid but "no name" cast wouldn't sell names on their own backs in any meaningful sense. The production is what will sell or not at the end of the day. Stunt casting is overrated as a concept, I don't think it really works at all.

Hearing from a friend of a friend that Sarah Harding is off tonight.

Only the 4th/5th show of a tour!!! That does not bode well! Lots of availability at the New Wimbledon Theatre tonight!

Yes, she can't possibly not have heard about the response. Would be hard to carry on given how extremely negative it has been - humiliating in fact

Yes, she shouldn't have been giving the part in the first place, but... Is she really that deaf that she doesn't notice that she can't pull it off? Sure, i guess it's a good deal, and not a lot of us would thank for it, if given the chance, but come on, maybe some self- knowledge doesn't do harm every now and then?

I feel sorry as the critics are pretty harsh on her, but all these people paid a lot of money and they got rubbish, which is unfair as well.

I don't blame Sarah entirely, but from what I've heard of youtube, she should have used her brain to assess whether she could actually pull the role off. I'm not saying she shouldn't do musical theatre, but Molly is a big acting part, and maybe she should have thought 'can I do it now, or instead wait a few years with some more experience'.
But at the same time, the producers should have had a strategy to get around this, whilst the public have been harsh, in my opinion, they have the right to be. If someone has paid good money, Sarah should know she has to deliver big results, and in her Lorraine interview she suggests that she isn't too confident in her own ability, but equally the producers should make sure the quality is indicative of ticket cost.

I have two tickets for tomorrow night. I don't want to go. I just don't. It's a flop, no one can sing, it's a badly produced show and I don't want to waste my life.

Anyone want them for free message me..

Sarah Harding was on This Morning a couple of weeks ago (19th Aug), promoting the show. From what she said, she seemed to have only just met the rest of the cast, so it's been a very brief rehearsal period. I do not blame her for taking the role if it was offered, but if they were confident her name would be a box office draw think she could have benefitted from more extensive preparation and vocal coaching. Anyone could see it's not her style of singing at all.
She was reminding people on Twitter that recording the show wasn't allowed, earlier.
