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

They'll have the understudy on and then will they use quotes from reviews of her for the poster?

I would much rather see Siobhan Dillon back as Molly, but then again she'd be wasted on this production.

Sounds like it... TOTAL FLOP.

I called the theatre demanding my money back - they said no.

I don't think you can really speak on Sarah's behalf like that. Unless of course you have some inside info.

You have no idea what she did and didn't bother to do. She may have struggled to learn the lines and songs and if she wasn't ready, the producers shouldn't have let her go on.

I have eyes and ears, and that was all I needed, it was really, really clear from her 'performance'. If she comes back, please go and see the show, and then try to continue to say she tried her best. You haven't seen it, so have no idea how bad it was. If she really was completely incapable of learning lines, something a 6 year old can do, and really has no idea that someone dying would make you sad, she should have pulled out.

I'm definitely not putting all the blame on her, I've said that I think the whole production is awful, and getting rid of her won't fix it, in fact I said the director was the most to blame. But when it comes to her personally being awful, that's down to her. She should not have been offered the role, so the producers are to blame for that, yes, but since she decided to take it, she's responsible for her own performance.  I have seen thousands of shows, and her performance is worse than anything I've seen, including some very bad amateur performances I've sat through.


But I do actually agree with you entirely that the producers should not have allowed her to go on, whether this is her best or not, and said just that in my complaint to ATG. At the end of the day, that's actually all it comes down to. The producers should never have allowed the production to go ahead in it's current state, and I'm not just talking about Sarah. It is possible that she does genuinely believe she's good and therefore thinks she's trying her best (if you had seen it, you would understand why I find it really hard to believe that, but at the same time would she really have gone on if she did know how bad she is), in which case someone who cares about her should have stepped in to try and save her from all this.

If this is her being fired, I actually hope this illness is the producers at least allowing her some dignity by not firing her publicly, but if that is the case, I hope she realises this time that she shouldn't ever take another acting job. 

I was doing a BKL tour years ago and at the last minute our leading lady dropped out. They had to find a new "name" very quickly as the tour venues had apparently signed on the understanding there would be a name in the lead role. I should think they'll be a few theatres on the phone to Bill tomorrow asking what's up, and whether she'll be back.

Chances are they'll have to replace her, as there's no way they can teach her to sing and act in the next few days. Surely nobody believes this "upper respiratory tract infection" cobblers? Why hasn't Andy Moss got it too then, as they've had to kiss many times over the last few weeks.

If at any point she actually told the producers she couldn't do it, and wasn't allowed to leave (which of course we'll never actually know) then I take back everything I've said and would then genuinely feel bad for her, but if she went ahead knowingly, that's different. (But I have had 6 year olds learn this many lines and remember their directions, for a school performance, not a paying audience)

no thank you

Maybe I'm just being soft (me down to a 't') but I do feel quite sorry for her, because despite whether what is being said is right or wrong, it still must be a massive knock to read/hear what is being said. I bet the rest of the cast are all feeling rubbish about it all too for various reasons. It is a bit of a shame it's all come to this.
