Maybe Marcus Brigstocke could reprise his Barnum tightrope walking?

A pop star who could sing it, even though he's too old now, is Tony Hadley. He has a fantastic voice and range.

Is this referring to the Bennet original or the new ENO revival? Confused/asking for a friend *delete as appropriate New revival I’m assuming. I’ll be bloody livid if I go down to London to find people in tutus mucking about on tightropes  Have you seen the Swedish DVD? |

I have seen the Swedish stockholm production twice. The trapeze scene worked very well, it was breathtaking. And it had a purpose. It showed that anatoly and florence had a dangerous relationship. The Stockholm production was very well directed. |

Or little Steven Gately? Duncan from Blue? Jason Donovan as The Arbiter?  Not Duncan, but close. I don’t know who auditioned for Florence, I still hope it’s going to be someone decent |

I thought with this flurry of messages, they have casted at least the first ensemble?
Great you can have Jason Donovan on a trapeze singing “Its Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or this Place” - “So You better go back to your bars, your temples your massage parlours” - “I get my kicks above the waistline son shine”.
Book your tickets now.

Is it true that Baz might have a Chess announcement tonight?? If it isn’t and they still haven’t sorted it, at this stage they just need to grab an Elphaba, pinch a Phantom, find a Broadway name and sort someone from a soap who can sing-speak all the words. Surely anything would be better than nothing right now. |

It isn't looking like we are getting a big announcement tonight - he is nearly through his usual hour of posting

Just spoke to Baz and he said we’ll get casting very soon - assuming this means next week at the latest - I can’t imagine he’ll announce it midweek...

At this point it may very well be the Lincoln Center cast. Ramin K. and Raul Esparza. Raul has left Law and Order althoug he is not well known in the UK.

Getting slightly nervous that they can’t cast someone decent so it will be HER off Emmerdale and Biggins. Why did I buy tickets? What’s the refund policy like?

I think it's remarkable that they've managed to keep it so hush hush and that there is absolutely no word on the street on who it will be. I even know someone who works in the West End and it's a complete mystery.
Where's Barnaby? He usually knows things...

If they want low rent/soap background etc they could do a lot worse than Shayne Ward for the American.
