Possibly a scheduled alternate show…getting in there with a pre-emptive face saving tactic.

Are they gradually running the “star appeal” down on this show? I feel it’s fading away No I don't think so. You've got one of the stars of the biggest British TV shows of the last 10 years, and a one of the stars of the most successful American dramas of all time...both serious actresses, Callum can DEFINITELY sing it, not sure about her yet, but I think this is still star/luxury casting. Just because specific people haven't heard of them doesnt make it not star casting... |

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. It may actually work. The best Emcee I've seen on stage (and I've seen a few) was played by an actor who was only 25 back then. It somehow made this character more tragic - that Emcee was young, cheerful, energetic and hunky, and then you could see him slowly descend into sadness and fear. Behind the smile, the glitter and heavy make-up, there was a young, scared man who knew that all the fun (and probably also his life) would end very soon, even though it had only just begun. Looking forward to seeing Callum. |

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. I think it is an unreasonable aspiration, when the stalls is only 10 rows deep. You can't get a seat for most big shows in the first 10 rows for under £100 in the WE. That being said, Saturday matinees seems to be cheaper so you're in luck. For £70 I can recommend row J seats 1-4 in the stalls . I had J4 for my first visit in June, it's a perfect view and a lot closer than I expected. Booked same seat for revisit after the cast change. |

And just because specific people have heard of them, that also doesn’t make it star casting… "specific" people, no but masses upon masses of people.. yes. plus she was nominated for an emmy and he won a bafta (wales) so whilst they might not be household "names" in the same way Redmayne was I would definitely regard these two as stars. I haven't watched anything they've been in (except MB was in Hustlers with J-Lo) but several people i know have bought tickets already specifically because of her - that is star pull, however you want to define them. |

I can recommend stalls row O (on the original stage side) - I sat in the centre of that row for £70 back in January having booked when it first went on sale. If you see it at that price again it wasn’t bad value at all. A good clear view over the table seating in front.

Was there ever a cast recording made for this? I recall a conversation on here regarding one but I can’t remember the details, or if there was a conclusive answer.

They are definitely widely known. |

I heard that one was recorded just before the first cast change. Apparently they are going to sell it at the theatre on vinyl. Im glad that they are starting to do some merch. Bags and candles so far. Here's hoping for a Tee Shirt one day! |

Candles?!
I suspect they will release a cast recording If/when they open this in NYC.

But “star appeal”, I’m not sure. |

Nothing official yet, but this production is allegedly opening in New York this spring at the Lyceum Theatre. Jessie and Eddie have signed on to do a 4 month run, not including rehearsals.
