The Prologue music by Angus MacCrae is now streaming on Spotify and all platforms. Was wondering if they’d ever release it!

I did catch the new cast last night. The £33 second row Dress Circle ticket, just off the centre, was a bargain, with the only distraction being the leaners on the front row and the guy next to me who I presume was translating for his girlfriend.
The new cast bring a lot of energy to the roles. Many of the musical numbers have been restaged since I last saw this and Adam Gillen includes various line changes as the Emcee.
I don't want to dwell too much on individual performances. I did like Katherine Langford, who acted her big number more than most of the Sally Bowles. I really warmed to Adam Gillen as well, who I believe is a very experienced stage actor, but perhaps less experienced as a singer. I was struggling to place what part of Germany Fred Haig was from. Jessica Kirton was on as Fraulein Schneider as well and very good. It is odd not seeing Damon Gould, who is now a swing, but I think he covers the major male roles, so hopefully I'll get to see him in one of those roles before too long.
As high quality a production as always and I hope to catch this cast again before the Emcee/Sally lead change.

Is there any more gossip on who is in the next cast? Yes but we don’t talk about it as we’re all secretly hoping it will change 🤐 |

Is there any more gossip on who is in the next cast? By the time it closes, we will all have had a run at some point. If anyone at work asks me anything tomorrow, I'm telling them I'm on vocal rest. |

I'll give it a go - I got a D in my drama GCSE (about 30 years ago) and I am sure I know most of the lyrics to Willkommen! |

TKTS has £33 Dress Circle tickets (second and third row) for Monday night. This is as cheap as I've ever seen the decent seats go for. They were doing £33 table seats last Tuesday. |

It’s gonna be a lot…that’s for sure…
I would be surprised if Billy Porter didn’t come to Broadway after his London stint

on an unrelated note, I went back to see it last night (nabbed some of those £33 2nd row of circle tickets. which were good, minus the leaners, as someone else mentioned)
the egg fell out of sally's coat just before she made her prarie oyster & broke a little bit on the floor. she scooped it up and poured it straight into the glass
which surely made a grim moment for the poor actress even grimmer
