The workshop was about 1:40 Bloody hell they really have butchered it then. What was taken out to reduce the running time so much? At the time I put it down to no set, scenery, costumes etc... my knowledge isn't good enough to compare song for song. But I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. A great fun 1:40 plus interval would be better than longer but not getting anything more if that makes sense. I have only seen tours and the workshop, never the London version to compare to.

According to TodayTix, runtime for this will be 2 hours including an interval. Seems very short! Sounds perfect!

(For the record, I love Starlight) Actually, if you do your research I think you’ll find that this sort of behaviour was rife amongst different trains (especially diesels) in the 80’s and 90’s, and changing it to fit a woke agenda betrays its roots. No? I’ll get my coat…🤣

The fandom seem absolutely convinced Millie O'Connell is (a female) Greaseball! (Could just be a rumour that got totally out of hand lol - I suspect it may well be but stranger things have happened....)

Not sure how I’d feel about the most masculine character becoming female, but could be interesting!

Not sure how I’d feel about the most masculine character becoming female, but could be interesting! Rumoured across social media - so not exactly reliable! I’m not in the know sadly. Though do follow Starlight “goss” quite closely!

Also I don't think they will make Greaseball female tbh.

I do agree though it could work but god not her anybody other than her. Liked her in Six but has been mediocre in other shows.

says it's the professional debut for most of them, at least the leads (which I clicked on).
Wonder why only the leads are named with roles but not all the minor roles like Buffy/Belle, Ashley/Carrie (whatever the latest names are), C.B./Caboose, Dustin, the Rockies...

I've never heard of a single one of them. Same here. I have no ides how much experience any of them have however what struck me looking at the headshots was how young and fresh-faced they all look.
