Laura Dawkes makes a sweet Anna; she sings & acts it well. Similarly, whilst nothing wrong with Jenna’s Elsa, she just suffered from not being Samantha. Plus there respective ages just looked too far apart to believe that they would ever have played together. Yes, I saw Laura's very first show and she was fantastic, there seemed to be new life breathed into the show that night and a great atmosphere in the theatre. Hard to believe this is her first West End role! |

Is it worth catching the current Elsa, or should I wait until Samantha is back?

Frozen was booking until July and is now only booking until June 2nd. I like this show but I would not be shocked if it closed.

A huge revival was due to go in there September- but it all fell apart before Xmas. |

Has it been binned or just going somewhere more intimate?

Heard from someone at LW just before Christmas that the plan was get through the summer holiday as it'll make them cash and closing beginning of September but I guess it's an expensive show to run...

Has that ever played at Drury Lane? |

No idea? I can only really think of ‘The Producers’ & ‘whorehouse’ that have played there before and are comedies.

Isn’t Hercules rumoured to be going in after Frozen? I would love this if true! I know the production in the States was not well received, but I love the score. One of Disney‘s best alongside HUNCHBACK. |

But Hercules hasn't played there before.
Although yeah I'd love it to be true.

Hercules is what I’ve been hearing due to have its UK premiere. Yeah that's true. Hopefully Hercules does come over (in a reworked version). It would also explain its random inclusion in the RVP with not one but two songs. If its at Drury Lane the production will also need to be physically more impressive than the Papermill. |

A revival of the producers - it’s fallen apart. |

I've heard Hercules (being reworked for Germany first) is coming, but not to Drury Lane
