I don't think Miriam will do the tour, if that's what they were planning wouldn't they have used her image in the promotion instead of randomly using all the Broadway stuff? And probably announced her as the lead along with the tour announcement itself. Nah i think it will be someone else. Interesting when I went first time I thought she sounded good it was more her acting that I wasn't sure of. Second time her voice sounded much poorer but i liked her portrayal better.
2nd time I had the understudy on for Cassidy and she was good but certainly no match.

I liked Zara when I saw her, less corny.

Oh she was great, but she just totally wrecked her voice by the end of the run and it just sounded...rough. I disagree. I saw her in Manchester and she struggled with pitching badly and when I saw her in London not far before the show closed, she was incredible. Come on now, those of us that sat through her final show in London can attest to the fact that voice is shot to sh*t

Or maybe she was just far worse than I remembered at the first performance I saw and went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised!

Oddly, while I wasn’t massively impressed with Miriam’s voice it wasn’t what I didn’t like about her performance. I just found her very unlikeable in the role. I couldn’t root for her, or much care what her ending was. I suspect a lot of it might be Juliet herself which is why I’d like to give it another go, I may be doing Miriam a disservice!

Or maybe she was just far worse than I remembered at the first performance I saw and went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised! As someone who saw her in the role an embarrassing amount of times (I just love the show) she absolutely was not just ill. There were many many shows where she should have not be on for and should have called out, which were frankly painful to listen to, but she didn’t seem to enjoy sharing the role or praising anyone else in it so…

Tour went on ATG priority sale for a whole two hours this morning. Booked for the opening night at the Opera House. Some early bird offers but no more than a tenner off.

Yeah the 241 opening ticket offers with ATG hardly ever happen now. And the £60 seats (ie the best ones) weren’t even eligible for the £10 off!

The producers aren’t responsible for ATG+ though, the offers on that are entirely down to ATG.
Two hours for the presale? Seriously. They really are rip off merchants.

I would say Jamie is too old for Romeo (and can't see it myself). Collette as Anne sounds possible, given she was cover Anne in the West End.

What a joke! A white woman as cover Juliet, and someone who just lead a grand West End show as a supporting character that doesn´t suit him at all. What a joke. The only one I can semi-believe is Collette taking over as Anne, although she is a bit young for the part.

Don't think it's Collette as Anne.

Don’t forget a lot of West End performers are turning down touring point blank at the moment because of the sorry state of digs and Touring Allowance/ per diems.

And I don't think the races of any characters are specified are they? I thought that was the point of this show, no?

The casting/creative team don´t want white women playing the role. All of the roles are raceblind except for Juliet.

Yes, but it is just the cover for the role and sometimes, especially on tour, you have to be a bit more flexible with understudy casting. That's why you sometimes end up with 25-year-olds playing middle-aged Dads on a tour stop in Portsmouth etc. That being said, it's just a rumour, not confirmed yet.

In a “I desperately want to perform, to be on stage but only if it’s in London” kind of way?

No, in a 'the way touring theatre works in this country is absolutely broken and doesn't work and basically isn't worth the stress regardless of how good the role is' kind of way
