If there are rehearsal pics why still no cast announcement?
I'm afraid I don't recognise the people in the pics. Can anyone tell me who they are please?

I suspect they are hoping to maintain some level of surprise for those attending on the night if there are some big-ish names. It's not like they need to create any buzz to sell tickets.

From that pic above, you have Matthew Rowland and Paul Treacy on the left side playing George (both from the Brixton production) and on the right is original Marilyn Mark McGee and second cast Marilyn John Partridge. From the looks of that staging, its possibly Guttersnipe they are rehearsing here :-)

Exciting. Frankly thrilling news will break in next 60-90 minutes. Could not be more delighted.
However, we are still wanting to be very careful about announcing specific casting as its not fair or right if/possibly when, people have to swap out because of you know what.

Wasn't expecting that !
Do we think it will need a major publicity boost to sell out a Monday night in just 10 days ? I must admit I assumed Taboo featured Boy George/Culture Club hits but now see I'm mistaken.

I wonder if adamk might be able to tell us if it’s the same cast both nights? I recognise that he’ll want to keep some surprises up his sleeve… |

Hello. All same cast except one from the original first ever cast and one from a later version. So far. Of course that might change and in fact there could be someone from original cast who can make Monday but wasn’t possible for the Sunday…honestly-if you are in anyway keen on the show-these two nights will be very very memorable.

It would be amazing if the show were made available for productions by amateur companies.
I have been a long time admirer of the piece and would love to direct it!

Masses of seats for Monday available. I wonder if they left it a bit late to advertise the 2nd concert. Hopefully with the cast announcement that will encourage people to book for this 2nd show.

Yeah I'm a bit gutted I'm already busy on Monday otherwise I would've tried to go. They've still got just under a week so hopefully they'll sell a fair amount.

Hey. Thanks for the continued interest. We have over 400 on a waiting list here at our office and the Sunday sold out so quickly we weren’t able to offer any rates to any of the cast and crew or agents etc. So I have no doubt with 7 days still to go-this one will get to 85% at least. Another £75k minimum to the charities! All down to the really incredible cast and creatives. They are all being extraordinarily generous with their time. Its sounding amazing in the rehearsal room…
So-dont delay-Book Today!!

I'm really looking forward to Sunday night. 2 big events in 2 weeks with Bonnie & Clyde and now this. January has been a good month.

Petrified is the emotional core of the score for me. Such a powerful moment.

It’s great they put the extra show on for extra money for the charities but had taken a bit of the shine off the one night only special …. Sunday … I do hope there are a lot more cast than have been announced and some one off surprises to make it extra special …
it’s taken a lot of my NHS wage to afford the tickets … but as it’s 20 th year anniversary and a one night only experience I bit the bullet and thought my favourite show I must go …… was also my moms favourite she saw it 4 times had the cd and played it all the time even when she was sick in hospital before she passed ♥️ so I will be truly thinking of mom on Sunday x
