Anyone heard any murmurings of casting yet?

The lack of an announcement with a month to go makes me worry that this will be a very C list cast.

I’d be quite happy to see Ria Jones (from the tour) as Alex, original cast Joanna Riding as Jane & Rebecca Thornhill (2nd cast and tour) as Sukie...but it will probably be trendy names from current West End shows! Hope they announce casting soon...

Hope they announce casting soon... It is indeed trendy names and not names from the past I'm afraid! |

Presumably Lovejoy isn't invited.

Had heard (I thought from this thread but can’t be bothered to check) Carrie Hope Fletcher’s name in an unspecified role. Would prefer the Witches to be of a certain age (35-50) rather than youngsters, but honestly I’m just excited to hear the songs live again  |

My tickets will be returned if she is cast. She has the same effect on me as Sheridan Smith….avoid at all costs. I hope they announce the cast soon |

How is this selling? I have seen zero promotion for it. About 60% of tickets sold so far. |

WhatsOnStage has just teased the casting announcement so I expect we’ll know around 10am.

Well as suspected it's CHF so that's me out. Disappointed but glad I waited before booking.

Bit disappointed this isn't more like Taboo etc with previous cast members coming back.

What is the refund policy for this? No desire to go now.
Don’t think Rosie Ashe is available as she’s doing the Bake Off musical.

Well….. that’s slightly disappointing, was really hoping for a greatest hits “cast”. Only person I am particularly excited for is Laura…. I’m sure it will still be a pleasant evening…..

Does anyone know which version of the show they're doing - the west end or touring version? Another Night At Darryl's is one of my favourite songs from the show and I'm really excited to hear Danielle perform it, but I hated the fact that on the tour they turned it into a group number for all three women and I hope that this concert is using the solo version that's on the cast recording.

So Danielle is playing the role Cher played in the film?

Apparently nobody from the original versions (other than Maria F) is involved. Apparently this is being seen more as a test for a potential new production (apparently a new song is being tested as well as some lyric tweaks) but it's not going to be an emotional reunion type of thing.

Was hoping for some blasts from the past too, but am glad Laura is involved - she will be fantastic! Not so familiar with the other two performers playing the witches... |
