Ok everyone- The waiting is almost over. The new cast press release is currently scheduled for Friday, so keep your eyes and ears open! One name at the top replacing Sheena. ( Guess who?) Heard also Greg Bernstein is going but Ryan Gover is staying. Do you know if Tom is staying? My understanding is yes he is staying. |

I mean it’s never gonna happen, but I’d love Catherine Zeta Jones to do it. Real Hollywood and a lovey nod to the shows past. Hey, I’m interested to see who’s actually gonna do it! Nope definitely not her. Clue: Very similar profile to Sheena! |

Nope definitely not her. Clue: Very similar profile to Sheena! Literally helps me 0. I’d forgotten who Sheena Easton was until she was announced for this so that don’t help me! Look forward to the announcement tomorrow (hopefufully Baz might tell us tonight...) |

So the replacement, like Sheena, might be Scottish, might have sung a Bond theme and might have some previous musical theatre experience? The 'one name' at the top isn't likely to be Madonna or Cher..........

We-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-Ell, that's a bit out of left field.

Will she be getting any advice from Brendan Cole? I very much doubt it....doesn't she make him want to shout? |

Kim Wilde has a new album out and is off on tour, so unless it is just a short run it won’t be her...

Could she manage it? She’s got the pipes but the American accent might be a bit dodge!

Theatremonkeys a psychic. (Don’t know what the euronillions numbers are do you?)
I dunno how I feel about this one. It feels an odd choice.

I don’t like her but I don’t think that matters. And playing the Diva won’t be difficult by all accounts...

31 years ago (Baz doesn't worry too much about detail) she was in short-lived The Mystery of Edwin Drood at the Savoy Theatre, prior to that she took over in Song and Dance at the Palace Theatre, and played Adelaide in the tour of the National Theatre's production of Guys and Dolls which then came into the Prince Of Wales. Someone who worked with her on G&D said she was an absolute delight - though it was a long time ago!!

I don't know who Lulu is - so not sure people in their 40s and below may know who she is? (I'm 39). Maybe I'm just naiive? LOL

I’m 36 and grew up with her on TV and the radio. Even though her peak years were the 60s, she was very prominent all the way up to the mid 90s. Anyway, I’m not a fan of her at all. I’ve always got a rather smug vibe from her. |
