The new dates say cast to be confirmed. Assuming the Australia actors will only be doing the first few dates originally announced. Could Zizi and Charlie return for a short time?

I also wonder where (if) the show will play during Christmas 2025... Is a limited London season a possibility?

I think Christmas 2025 will be somewhere like Liverpool since they don't usually have pantos at the Empire.

Half those people feel like they're down for the wrong roles!
Like, Ashe as Mrs Brill? Do a Pet and wheel her out for the Bird Woman if you must.
Very weird. I quite like all the people but I did stare at that for a minute going 'have they muddled these roles up'

That's a pretty incredible cast. Sonia Swaby!
That's said, I don't think I could sit through Poppins again

Sonia Swaby!!!
I do find it a bit crazy they are flying over Australian leads. Really think these roles should be played by our British performers. Amazed that Cameron M is going to the expenses if nothing else.

Sonia Swaby amazing - but you'd like her to have Feed The Birds and properly get to sing, rather than Supercal no?

Lucie-Mae Sumner was a cover Mary before as well as Annie or Fanny in the ensemble, do we think she will be covering Mary again as well as playing Mrs Banks (and if so how can I make sure I see her in both tracks? )

Pretty epic performers on this roster but yes, some do feel 'odd' placement!

This really does look like a great cast.
It’s just random looking at the cast list knowing that Rosemary Ashe and Wendy Ferguson are back in each others previous roles.

Nice video of "first day of school" was uploaded on their social media a few hours ago. Good to see Richard Eyre was there, too (although I guess he won't be attending many more rehearsals). fb.watch/u_NnCag2cr/

I saw a show she did a while ago at the Hackney Empire and it was awful! She was absolutely everywhere in the 80’s and I thought she was third rate even then.

Does anyone know if there is dynamic pricing for touring shows? I've already booked a ticket for Bristol but I'm thinking of paying an additional visit and as there is very good availability for the date I'm interested in, I wonder if it is worth waiting for any last minute discounts.

Single tickets occasionally get priced down (happens at some Wicked tour venues) but otherwise no.
