This should probably be in the 'unpopular opinions' thread but *whispers* I don't 'Get' Miranda. I really wanted to like her/the show but just couldn't find it funny...I'm sure she's a lovely lady though...

Booked for 9th June, was going to go for the £20 Grand Circle, even got to the last point before purchasing, then decided "STUFF IT, I'll treat myself" so I went for Row B in the Stalls instead.

The queue, albeit only a few seconds, was there at 1am this morning too... I suspect precautionary rather than strictly necessary, certainly at non-peak booking times.

Annie is a musical I can take or leave, but I do like Miranda Hart (her show gave me hours of enjoyment) so I got myself a £20 "back of the house" seat for her penultimate matinee in September.

Any other word on casting yet? It is just under two months until the first performance. I don't expect any more stars as they would of announced that by now, get some more tickets shifted, but I wonder if some of the tour cast will come on board, particularly members of the ensemble!

In terms of the adults I heard Haley Flaherty (Miss Honey in Matilda for 3 years) may be Grace, but I have no proof of that lol just something I heard off others.

Has the front of the theatre been changed or in the process of being changed for Annie yet? I know they are doing the Russian thing for a week or two, but they wouldn't do the front of the theatre up for that.

If the producers will pay for it, they'll put it up - 10 days is 10 days!

I'm not too surprised some signage has gone up, as I believe the main poster is now on a virtual screen (like that at the Prince Edward), so minimal effort is required. Unless the screen was just for the end of Jersey Boys and now they have gone back to physical signs. If the screen hadn't been virtual I presume they would've just put the Annie signs up.

Ah yes that's very true. That main 'poster' does look like the screen that was updated during Jersey Boys. So just posters & banners, you're right! Which still doesn't come cheap, I'm sure, but still less than it would've.

Oh that's a point too, I didn't think of that. Well least it makes the re-do after this for Annie and then whatever happens after Annie won't be too big a turnaround.

Is it just me or are they leaving it awfully late to announce the full cast?

It is indeed the digital screen! Indeed it is a digital screen and one I see staying there permentely, maybe ATG paid for the screen and the installation and the production company have to pay ATG to use it?

Is it just me or are they leaving it awfully late to announce the full cast? It's just you. The only member of the full cast who I've heard of is Miranda Hart so there was no point announcing it any earlier. (I may have heard of a Labradoodle called Amber but can't be sure it's the same one).

To be honest, the world can only be a brighter place the more Labradoodles it has in it.
I've heard of Holly Dale Spencer, but she's not on my list of "if cast, book immediately" performers...

The girl named Madeleine Haynes who has been cast as Annie also played Annie on the UK Tour and she has one of the best voices I've ever heard in a little girl and was an excellent actress too so I'm happy to see her back
I don't really know any of the ensemble other than Ben and I agree that he is some good eye candy, how shallow of me lol

I saw Jonny Fines in "Altar Boyz" at Greenwich. Would class him as "eye candy" cheesy116.

And she might choose to face forwards instead in this run.
