It’s giving Katie from VPR awful season 2 dye job.
 
there's just something so dragalicious about this. can't tell if it's gonna be a disaster or inspired casting. when does she debut?
 
I really want to see her but I don't think she's going to complete the full run.
 
I'm in London in a few weeks and due to reasons I can only see a show on a Sunday evening. Should I see Six or Titanique? I'm not a huge fan of the Book of Mormon, would I like Titanique or are they similar in tone?
Or is there anything else on on Sundays that's worth seeing? (Paging @Ellie )

Do many things even play on a Sunday evening? Most of the Sunday shows are matinees only. I think Hadestown does though.

I personally love Titanique (as do many here), but I’m not certain on the current state of the cast as it makes a massive difference. I’ve seen it 4 times and the only one I didn’t enjoy was mostly due to the actor they had playing Rose’s mum not being anywhere near as good as the others.

Obviously I also recommend Oliver! on a Sunday afternoon. Thankfully Matt Lucas will have left by 1st November and Simon Lipkin will be back from paternity leave full time. He really does make that show.

I'm not sure I'll make a matinee on the Sunday, but I'll keep Oliver! in mind.
Yeah there's not a lot available on Sunday evenings. I'm meeting friends on Saturday, so that's out unfortunately.
I didn't know about Hadestown, that's another good option!
Thank you!

I really like the SONGS from Rent, but absolutely hate the characters and story. Is there anything in this one that could redeem it for me?

Not overly. The production is great but not particularly groundbreaking, and the characterisation is much the same as the movie (Angel is a touch cuntier though :disco:)
 
I really want to see Teri Hatcher but I don't want to see a musical version of The Devil Wears Prada
 
I've been waiting for an extension.

We're doing a theatre weekend in January, had booked Cabaret for the Saturday and now we have a mystery Mary Friday!
 
I'm such a shit gay. Y'all are always talking about people's wigs and the state of them and I always just believe it's real hair :shy:

I am already planning my pre-Christmas trip.

She deserves to stay booked and blessed for eternity or until the Rural Juror gets commissioned for a full season on Peacock!
 
The Notebook: The Musical is coming to London according to my emails.

Is this worth my time? I mean I have to go, The Notebook is my late night drunk favourite. I'm sure it will sacchrine nonsense :disco:
 
Saw Hay Fever last night. Christine Baranski was brilliant and the show was good fun, if a bit slight.

I saw Redcliffe at the Southwark Playhouse and really loved it + keep thinking about it. I was quietly devastated at the end but for a musical about (not a spoiler) two real-life doomed gays in the 1700s it's got plenty of joy and laughs. 80% of the songs are strong with the rest perhaps needing a bit more work to be less generic if/when this has a future life. I hope there's a full cast recording at some point.

I’d not been to the venue before and it's quite rough around the edges - the toilets felt like being in a 1970s East German prison - but the production itself was strong and didn’t feel that fringey.

Transferring to the West End in January!
