Will have to book for this. I’ve seen a friend in a school production of Sister Act and that’s about it. The songs seemed catchy enough and I can imagine the material can be elevated a lot with someone like Brenda in the lead. Great casting!

Well it’s finally happening! I’ll be at the Cardiff show tomorrow, which is now opening night of the tour. Looking forward to the Miss Saigon and Les Mis songs especially.

Another show-stop tonight! The whole sound desk went down apparently. Laurence Connor and Michael Harrison came on stage to explain what had happened.

Just been checking the alternates’ twitters and it would be my luck that the only lead queen off when I go on Thursday is who I was most looking forward to seeing (Aimie)! But Grace is on as Howard so it will be fab to get to see her before she leaves, covering 6 lead roles is legend status! Also very glad that Maiya will be on seeing as she’s now leaving soon-ish.

Is that four performances in a row for SS?...is that a record for her? Lol I know you’re only joking but as far as I know Sheridan had brilliant attendance in everything before Funny Girl. She went through the illness/death of a parent whilst also struggling with mental health issues during that run and I don’t think enough people appreciate how hard getting up on that stage each night must have been for her.

This has been mentioned on the Waitress thread a few times but probably the worse mishap I’ve seen on stage was during my first trip there. In the first diner scene where Jenna is supposed to give Earl a piece of pie, whoever was suppsoed to set it on the piano for KMP to pick up forgot to do so. The poor girl basically fell apart, she was mumbling away and franticaly looking from side to side and then just sort of aimlessly wondering around the stage. In the end she decided to tell us “I can’t do this without the pie”, still no idea if she was saying that as Jenna or as Kat! In the end Laura Baldwin came to the rescue saying “You want pie. I’ll get you pie” and went into the wings to get some. We then had Earl saying “this is the worst damn diner I ever been to” and others making gags about the mishap, including Old Joe coming on suddenly saying “look I got pie I got pie”. The whole scene kind of fell to bits but it was amusing to see!

I wonder if Marsha Songcome is Alternate Eva? That would be great!

Correct me if I’m wrong but (I believe) that Dove Cameron played Amber von Tussle in Hairspray Live Yep that was her.

Just heard an audio of Ashley’s When He Sees Me on twitter. Oh dear. I want to give the girl a chance but it really was pretty awful, the key being lowered ruins the song a bit too. Hopefully she’ll get better with time but not a great start😬

Such a shame, I was really looking forward to getting to see her live. My ticket was great value too.

It’s showing as unavailable on the Lowry website too, I guess the whole thing’s been pulled 😕
