I know many people are not fond of her, but I think Lea Michele would make a great Betty. She looks the part, she could pass for the naive, enthusiastic writer, she can play clever and confident, deliver jokes and witty and sharp lines, she has the right poise and can deliver the sincerity the part needs in my opinion. Wholesome, yet witty. But most of all I think she can play the interaction with Joe very well, with the balance between the flirting and the serious side and the dramatic scene with Norma too (on the phone) and she has a terrific singing voice, Betty's songs are not easy. I couldn't come up with better names at the moment (except for a few unknowns). And yes, she is a fairly well known tv name. The actor playing Joe needs a certain kind of poise, feel as well, and while I agree they need at least someone of Luke Evan's singing calibre, I doubt he is the right type. Maybe Jeremy Jordan? Of the bigger names I don't think anyone can sing the part. JEREMY IS TOOO YOUNG NO???! But damn.... such a talent!

ALW hasn’t had a hit in years because the shows were all dreadful or had the wrong set (LND and WIW).
The pink and dark gray design for Cinderella is dreadful and the new photos I saw today look amateur.

It’s BEYOND me also why this never ran on the West End / it ran on broadway for FIVE YEARS. I met a disney exec once and it was timing with Mary Poppins and running costs. In short. Money.

Why DID Sunset close? On Broadway and West End?

Book of Mormon is offensive and in the light of Black Lives Matter should be cancelled and taken off stage.

I’m going to be the odd one out here - these songs sound NAFF. I love ALW (I did two of his shows) but the tedious 1980’s sounding chord sequences are old fashioned and we have moved on from this.
I hope I’m wrong and Carrie sounds amazing but I just don’t want the score to sound like a cheesy Whistle Down the Wind meets plonky Stephen Ward. It’s his worst kind of writing nothing like the wonders of the melodic and musically superb Evita or the lush romantic scores of Sunset and Phantom.
School of Rock also fell into this plonky cheesy bad writing/typical chord sequences but was held up by a sensational book that saved the day.
Fingers crossed!!

The Woman in S (w) HITE as I always called it was a mess on the West End. I suppose mostly because of the set. I gave it 5/10 but the Charing Cross production was GLORIOUS. It was a better cast, easier story to follow, better (or little set), gorgeous lighting and a super 8/10.

To be blunt ..... they might blame the virus but Lion King isn’t closing - Frozen just wasn’t good enough, and Disney knew it.
Did it even recoup? I doubt it. A flop and I blame Michael Grandage .

Doesn’t surprise me. It has been on TKTS for a while.
Perhaps it NEEDED the ice castle I had gone on about after all?

I know it costs money but they REALLY should have filmed The Woman in White at Charing Cross - it’s the PERFECT production and cast of an average show.

I think we need a spoiler with the answers! One is pretty woman. People always get stuck on that one (I tried to act out the brief storyline), others are more literal, some emojis sound like the syllable/word of the musical. Also note left and right and up and down could also be north, south, east and west. That will help you get more! Ha

What about Gemma Craven? She may have retired, I'm not sure what she's doing nowadays but she always had glorious warmth, killer comic timing and a lovely voice. She could fill The Shaftesbury and The Prince of Wales in the 80s it would be lovely to have her back. Gemma Craven is a SENSATIONAL actress. I worked with her years ago.
