Cabaret - Playhouse Theatre

I think Callum will be great but I'd actually love to see him as Cliff.

It does appear Cabaret eludes the normal people who know things (me included) - but that likely to be because the casting gets confirmed so last minute.

Under the impression these two weren't confirmed until last week.

This casting does put cabaret back on a possible show list for me if I am visiting London. Not as enamoured with the production as most on this board and didn't think it brought very much new to the table bar the novelty of it being in the round and the different theatre set up.

But the thing which does intrigue with Callum playing the emcee is that I don't think I have ever seen such a young actor playing the role and will be interesting to see if that does bring a new angle to a role normally played as a character who has seen it all and done pretty much of it as well which a more youthful emcee may not work so it's open for a fresher interpretation.

At 23 Callum will be 17 years younger than Eddie and a decade younger than current emcee Fra Fee.
His Sally will be seven years older than him which again offers some new aspects to their relationship.

If it's a sin is not too in the past with how fads go these days he could bring a new audience to the show, having only seen him play Colin and speak in his strong Welsh accent it will again interesting to see what vocal he does put on this.
Outside the box casting and all the better for it.

Another veritable “who’s that” of casting. Absolutely no need to revisit this.

I’m not one to go and see names, but having seen this already I can’t justify going back again for this cast at those prices.

In She Loves Me he spoke in his normal Welsh accent as opposed to American or Eastern European (where the musical is set) which was quite quirky.

I know 😀

Lots more £30 tickets have been released.

I had the same question and yes, it’s doing superb business still.

Just think… if they could’ve managed this for Jessie everyone would’ve been sooooo much happier! 😂

Nine months of dragging the stars, the prices, and endless yakety-yak about attendance.

Somebody get this person a ticket.

No takers then. Thought not. 
Kubrick I haven’t dragged anyone, I’ve commented on the dreadful attendance record of one of the so called  “stars”. I’ve also commented on the ridiculous prices which started with a bona fide Hollywood name which some people might want to pay a premium for but now remain with people who most people have never heard of. 
i don’t think it’s an unreasonable aspiration to get a stalls ticket for a show on a weekend for Under £100. 

They abruptly ended that with the first cast change. I think the show is running on account of the word of mouth and awards recognition now, rather than appeal of any individuals.  I'd actually think that Callum would have more recognition, at least in the crowd more likely to go see the show, owing to It's a Sin, when compared to the Marvel crowd who would know Fra.
