Cast: John Partridge Matthew Cottle Issy Van Randwyck Simon Dutton Charlie Stemp Rob Ostlere First visit to Windsor Theatre royal, quite a cute little venue! The play was pretty poor I must say, unlikable characters and a really thin plot. That said, Charlie Stemp steals it every time he came onto the stage, he’s very likeable as the goofy butler. I love how this was sold as AN ALL STAR CAST with MORE EXCITING BIG NAMES TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON! Joke

Where can we find out if Craig is off tonight? Keep an eye on the West End Understudies Twitter feed.

I reckon it will lose about 15 mins over the next week or so.

OV website says "2 hours 50 mins, with a 20 minute interval". Does that mean including the interval or plus? Am supposed to be going next Monday, if it really is still over 3 hours by then, I might have to think again. According to the OV BO the current running times are: Act 1 - 1 hour 35 mins Interval - 20 mins Act 2 - 1 hour 15 mins So 3 hours 10 mins in total

I find the casting for The Other Palace so boring these days. Like, yes, these performers are all reliable and great performers, but they always use the same performers all the time. Why can't they switch it up and not have the same performers again and again? I like to refer to many of these performers as "The Paul Taylor-Mills gang". 😂😂 Exactly. I find it hilarious that he wrote that this is the best casting they have done for ages and that 'it's going to break the internet'. What a joke. It's the same old jobbing actors going round and round.

She added that 'people will be in for a surprise when they hear her incredible singing voice'. The actress was in her school choir and, in her early teens, found herself a singing teacher who once taught at the Royal Academy of Music. She had classical training and at one point was torn between pursuing a career as an opera singer or going to drama school. She chose stage and screen.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this but sales are so bad it makes me wonder if this will close up early. How much notice will we be given if so? Sales for Charing Cross musicals eg Death Takes a Holiday, The Braille Legacy, The Woman in White, Mythic are generally always quite bad but I don’t think any of the shows have closed early. They just limp on being comped everywhere until the end of their runs.

Looks like some £65 seats have been released on the back row of the dress circle for most dates, in case anyone's interested. Looks like they are £85 ;(

She was a cover for all the three sisters (and covered Anjelica much more often than other two) so the joke kinda fells flat. P. S. Don’t like jokes based on people being covers/understudies Well aware Miriam was cover for all 3 sisters (and I saw her perform as both Angelica and Peggy/Maria). The post was not at all based on her being an understudy, just more pointing out the coincidence that she was previously playing a character colloquially named ‘& Peggy’ and is going on to play a character called ‘& Juliet’. Oh. Well it’s not quite as clever as I thought then. OK. As you were.

The How is going for an audition and getting the part. The Why is going for the audition because you want the part Simple I meant How Do you know he went for the audition and apparently got the part ? Do people ask others like mrbarnaby and others “in the biz” to reveal their sources and knowledge? No. No they don’t.

How appropriate a former understudy ‘& Peggy’ goes on to star in ‘& Juliet’. She was a cover for all the three sisters (and covered Anjelica much more often than other two) so the joke kinda fells flat. P. S. Don’t like jokes based on people being covers/understudies I took this joke to be reference to Peggy going on in 42nd Street. If that was intended, then it is a BRILLIANT reference and does not fall flat but soars!!! PS I love jokes based on people being covers/understudies

I have a feeling that Luke Bayer is also cast in this.

Never heard of her Never heard of the composer Never heard of the show Difficult theatre to fill Still crying over Memphis closing! I love new work but these seems to be in the wrong space I’m afraid. Give it a few months before Pretty Woman goes there..... What a lovely beacon of sunshine and optimism about something before it's opened

You can keep digging and backtracking, parsley. You used the word perverted. And I don’t want a simple apology if you didn’t mean to use that word. I want action taken to make sure comments like that don’t go unnoticed. God fine I will leave the board I hope you are happy That’s completely your call People simply expressed their opinions and you didn’t like that i guess that’s what medicine tastes like.
