I miss the hype of previous cast changes 😂😂 How times have changed Times haven't changed that much. There's still the hysteria. The Stage Dooring day after day. The "OMG I died at that riff" The "I have to get to the theatre because I've heard fifth cover midwife is on". The crazy gifts. The fans just don't post it on this forum much anymore.

My routine is snooze alarm several times. Snooze a few times more. Check social media. Snooze again.
Realise I'm late. Loo, shower. Think about breakfast. Realise I haven't time for breakfast (how I envy those of you who have time for a relaxing cuppa before you leave).
Realise I need to leave NOW to get the train.
Check oven hobs aren't on (I have to do this religiously even if I know I've not used them. Just in case they have turned themselves on 🙈)
Check bathroom sink taps aren't on (I'm not bothered about checking any other taps and have never left them on and there's never been a flood so not sure what that's about).
Generally check the cooker again. Check the taps again...
This can go on for about a minute most days 🙈
Then half run half walk to station.

Totally agree with the location of the cast board d'James. I always collect my ticket at the box office or else I wouldn't see it, plus it's in such a compact space it is often hard to see it behind a group of people.

If any champagne should make its way up to the cheap seats it would be very welcome! 😊

She was just tired of Matthew Cooke getting all the headlines for his rug-ged good looks.

The cast board is at the left of the main lobby. There's also a great Twitter account dedicated to the Standbys that usually posts when one of them are on. Www.Twitter.com/illwriteSTFDFrom the looks of things, you can full cast bar one last night

To answer a couple of questions above. Yes they have gone through a performance without any technical problems. I went to the 4th preview and it went without hitch. One of the Male dancers nearly dropped his wife during a lift but that was it from what I could see. Also a mention above that the show would appeal to "non theatre goers" have to disagree as I am a regular theater goer (100 plus shows a year) and this very much appealed to me. Certainly the night I went everyone around me was absolutely loving it. Full standing ovation and dancing and singing along to the mega mix. As I was leaving I could only hear positive comments. Maybe all the haters left before the end...... Aladdin has had to do performances recently without the flying carpet as there's a technical problem with it. That is integral to the story so a huge miss. That's also a show that has been running for a long time. If you book a preview you can expect things to go wrong as they are just finding their feet. After press night is a whole other thing entirely but things will go wrong. It's live theatre

Will this come to Newcastle or Sunderland, do people think? I'd be very surprised if not but in the meantime we have booked a little road trip trip to see it in Manchester.

I saw the 2007 production and thought it was very good, aside from King of My Heart. I did not see the 91 production. That was almost 30 years ago. But this is just not Joseph. That picture of Sheridan is horrible. It actually sounds gross that Sheridan is a Mrs. P to a child's Mr. P. And from that picture she looks like she would be committinge statutory rape with a Joseph who looks so young. Seriously?! He is an adult. We have had decades of far older men chasing after far younger ladies and nobody ever says anything about that.

The iconic dancing lady from the logo can be found in the new theatre cafe, if anyone is missing her.

I've seen the Joseph tour several times and the set looks like something from a school production. The children were sat in the stairs all the way through. It would hardly have won any awards for amazing staging!
I think that if the London show had produced the best staging since the beginning of time folks on here would still be complaining about it!

Everytime I see this thread has been posted in my heart fills with joy.
I still miss this show so so much.

I really wish tours would announce all venues at the same time. I know lots from the North East who booked to go to Manchester thinking it was the nearest venue. As not frequent theatre goers, they are going to be absolutely livid when they hear about the visit to Newcastle.

From the sounds of it, KKA wanting a public debate on the subject, it feels like there isn't much mood for compromise. Easy to say you want to talk when things go public. There should have been frank discussions long before this. He doesn't come out of this well... big boss comes along and trying to take advantage of other people's hard work on the cheap and take all the credit for all the ideas too?

A previously unknown actor (however good he is) is never going to make headlines in the mainstream press and TV. That's just the way it is.

Her holidays are booked for the beginning of July so, good health willing, she should be on.

One of my favourite Wicked related stories was on tour when Jacqueline Hughes fell down stairs backstage and third Elphaba had to quickly green herself up and run on.
