Isn't there a big 5 week gap between most venues? I assumed other venues would be announced for these gaps but it's getting very close!

Does anyone know what accent Suzie Mathers will be playing Glinda with? Not sure if it's been spoken about or anything! I know it's been a big thing with our international Elphies!

So next week Natalie M is on as Elphaba and Lauren James-Ray is on as Nessarose...
So if Lauren is sick and can't go on as Nessa, will we likely see an old Elphaba (Michelle Pentecost?) as I'm sure I saw somewhere Laura Emmitt is on holiday as well?

That's quite weird Natalie M is scheduled for all these shows! Does anyone think Andreou may have been let go?

On Wednesday the 'Grease the musical' facebook page announced Grease will return to the UK! Didn't state whether it was a tour or West End - anyone heard anything?
What are the opinions on this? I saw the last UK Tour and remember it feeling quite cheap but I love the TV Grease Live so hopefully they could make the show great again!

Who is the character of Michelle? I don't remember!

Do we reckon it will be a totally new Elphaba/Nessa/Morrible on 30th Jan or could it be some people returning?

There were actually two potential Elphabas in last night, Jodie Jacobs came to see the show (and specifically Natalie Andreou), she said that it's her 14th time and she can't get enough. Rachel John and Jodie Jacobs as lead and s/b switching into Beverley Knight and Rachael Wooding early next year maybe? If that does happen I imagine the two Rachel's would have to swap as Rachel John is going with Beverely to Bodyguard? Also it Beverley Knight did take over we could potentially see our first Alternate Elphaba as Im sure Beverely always has an alternate - even for Cats!

Beverley Knight watched the show last night. So I immediately thought of Rachel coming back for six months Sep-Feb, then Beverley taking over after Bodyguard. I know this is never gonna happen but I think Beverley would be an amazing Elphaba!

As Liza had a Morrible switch, it got me thinking - have any other characters had a mid show switch? I know various Elphaba's have had them but have any of the others? Don't think I've ever heard of a Glinda switch either!

Someone on the Innuendo and Outuendo forums said two current cast members are auditioning for standby Elphaba. I assume this is Natalie McQueen and Laura but I'm kind of hoping that Katie Rowley Jones may be going for it...she's been an Elphaba understudy before and would be nice to see her not as Nessarose! Thoughts?

After tonight's BGT can I wish Beau Dermott as Elphaba in a few years time?!

Natalie McQueen is on as Elphaba today while Helen Woolf makes her London Glinda debut for both shows. This is a scheduled day off for Emma but illness for Savannah! Hope she gets better soon

Weird fact about this 9 show week is that Savannah has been given 2 shows off but Emma seemingly is doing all 9 shows (as Savannah's dates are on the website but Emma hasnt got a show off this week!
If Emma gets through all 9 shows will she be the first UK Elphie to do a 9 show week?

Not sure if she can sing or if The Maids would've finished but could Zawe Ashton be Deena?

It's just a bit unusual for them to have like a day's leave in the middle of the contract? I think that's what happened in the last week in September before cast change?

Carina now has a random, last minute scheduled two show day. Could some producers be lining up a Carina and Laura lead?
I'm sure there was once an understudy who had a scheduled show (can't remember who!) as the producers were in and were consider promoting her, but she went off sick halfway through and had to be replaced!

Does anyone who has seen Pippin or seen clips of it, know how on earth they do the trick in Morning Glow (end of Act 1) with the levitating and the disappearing?

Post by tommy123 on Mar 20, 2016 12:16:09 GMT
I think Emma is just ill as Natalie Andreou went on for the evening and Emma has cancelled her concert appearance tonight.
Interestingly the same thing seems to be happening on Broadway as Christine Dwyer made a comeback as Elphaba on emergency cover last night!

Unfortunately I don't have the money to get to Amsterdam, so hoping this tour becomes fully international and comes over to the UK!

Laura Emmitt has announced she has a scheduled Elphaba show on the 24th March.
Is it usual for 2nd U/s to get scheduled shows? Let's hope it's to see about the potential for a lead or s/b job for either tour or London and the execs will be in!

Pippin for some reason never took off in the UK - but I'd be desperate to see the circus themed production that was on Broadway and now on tour in the US come to London/UK Tour. What would other people's view be on Pippin?
Also would love Patina Miller to be the Leading Player, or just be back in London even if its for a short stint! Love her!

I really liked Willy Wonka disappearing at the end of Charlie! Very unexpected so worked really well! If I remember correctly it's the same as Elphaba disappearing in wicked? Elphaba melting At the end of the show is just a trap door behind a large screen and its all shadows. The difference with Willy Wonka is his 'figure' is still there until he hits the last note where all that is left is a pile of clothes!

That hope was short lived. Gina has tweeted to say is an old photo dragged up from the vaults and that she's busy until January

Okay I KNOW this is a long shot. The USA Wicked Twitter just released a never before seen pro-shot of Rachel & I think Gina.
Why would they do this? Am I the only one who is praying that Rachel & Gina are returning for the 10th, and as Gina was in the US for whatever reason, they did a few publicity photos to go with the article. (Also believable as Gina's costumes may be stored in America as she was last with the US Tour!)
I know it's unlikely that they'd do photos for a pairing that already have photos and would just use one of those for an article but I'm just so hopeful it's not Emma and Savannah!

So the only two people doing seemingly the whole tour are Michelle Collins as Baroness and Andy Hockley as Grandpa?

Would be so happy to see Cynthia Erivo play Elphaba but fear that ship may have sailed as she's leading new productions (revivals but a new, big production) on Broadway!
