Seems to be a few name changes on the page for this. No Elaine listed anymore. Bernadette and Janie Dee are listed in black, not sure what that means. Shan Ako, Christine Allado, Desmonda Cathabel, Josefina Gabrielle, Amy Griffiths and Holly Anne Hull all added since the last time I looked.

For being an all star concert it features loads of people who are mid-tiers at best, hope none of the real names will drop out. Especially Judi and Bernadette.

I really hope we don't get anymore "dropouts" especially from the big names. I've paid an awful lot of money for this and would not be happy if it didn't turn out to be the "event" that we are expecting.
Pleased Rob Houchen has been added. He had a bit of a cryptic IG post this week so it wasn't too much of a surprise.
Also looking at the DMT website there are still loads of tickets available for the live screening.

"You paid for the Sondheim Memorial Concert, you got the Sondheim Memorial Concert - check the T&C's" Or does that only work when it's Jessie Buckley not turning up? |

The screening looks to have gone down like a lead balloon (deservedly IMHO) with hundreds of unsold seats still.

The trouble with something like that is that people are being asked to travel to see something on a screen. They'd have been better off arranging some screenings in cinemas.

I still maintain it will end up in cinemas at some later date. Why wouldn’t it? It’s being filmed, it makes no sense not to wring every last penny out of it. Of course they’re not going to tell people now, but t will be shown or I’ll eat my hat! |

Every drop will be wrung from this - at least it's a good cause. |

I thought it might be wise to keep track of who is being touted as performing and how it changes. original poster - Elaine Paige is described as “confirmed”  |

So that’s a big FU to any Elaine fans who bought a ticket based on her confirmed appearance.
Adrian Lester - gone. Bernadette Peters - now in unexplained black font. Don’t tell me they’re still appearing but they’ve been dropped off the poster to make room for Rob Houchen?
How are these producers allowed to get away with this? That’s a rhetorical question, I know the T&C’s will allow it but I mean morally. If ANY of those original “confirmed” artists do not appear then they should be offering refunds. It’s not like they won’t be able to resell the returns.

The 2 names in black are most curious. What does it mean?
Someone suggested video appearance?
Without doubt Bernadette Peters is in the top 3 names appearing so a real shame if she won't be there.

The names in black also appear in a different font. Looking at the page source code, it looks like a formatting error on the two names that appear in black. My guess would be someone's added those two separately and Wordpress has got itself confused.

This is exactly how every wrong starts, not enough people challenging it as the new normal. |

I can't work out how to add photos on here sorry! But I went back to the email and (weirdly) there is no * - I checked twice!

No Shan Ako or Christine Allado there, despite them showing as confirmed in the most recent poster, and no EP who was previously confirmed. i reckon there are several different versions of the cast list, none of which are 100% correct. Poor. |
