It's pretty much all of the 1st cast and all the covers, same as before and during Ladies who lunch.

Aren't they the swings and understudies?

And I think some of them are 1st cast as well.
Sure I recognised Fleeshman and Mel from Mel&Sue....

Definitely Mel; First verse, Stage Right truck, sleeping, head back.

And if I’m not mistaken Big Beautiful Ben Lewis was in the same truck.

Yes to all of this, but you’re making more intrigued by who the Jason Momoa like one is a swing for. Clearly I need to do more research.

Any description of his costume in this scene?

[Deleted]

Yeah I'm having a look at the Company site and I'm not seeing any Jason Momoa lookalike in the cast.

Ha - I'd have been too occupied looking at the Fleesh ;-)

He’s sitting in the right hand side of the right hand carriage at the start of the scene. I think he’s wearing a dark blue fisherman style jumper (although that might be wishful thinking) and combat trousers. He has long-ish hair, half up in a man bun. Some facial hair.

There’s also a black female dancer with a shaved head in that same scene. I wondered if it was Jennifer wearing a bald cap (perhaps I have too much time on my hands?) but I think the dancer is a bit shorter and more slightly built. I’ve checked the website and the programme and I can’t see any understudies who fit that bill.

Starting to wonder if I am losing my mind!

Jennifer has a shaved head, at least she did at the beginning of the run.

Well that’s that mystery solved!

[greeny11]

Just to clarify, Jennifer has alopecia which is why she's bald (as she mentions in her hashtags in a number of posts including this one from rehearsals:)

The guy who you think looks like Jason Momoa in the Another Hundred People scene is Ashley Campbell.

[Deleted]

Thank you for sleuthing! I never thought to follow any famous people on Insta. It’s all cakes for me on there.

I think Jennifer suits bald, although I appreciate it might not have been her choice. Funny how much height a wig adds!

[Deleted]

greeny11 I am not sure it’s Ashley. I am going to look more closely next time I go.

[fiyero]

I'm tempted to sneak in a second visit but am feeling poor. How are the Grand Circle slips compared to Aladdin or Hamilton?

I have to admit, I had to look up who Jason Momoa is (knew him, just not the name) and that is definitely Ashley. :-)

[jgblunners]

Personally I'm a fan of Michael Colbourne and his basketball tank top in that scene...

So, what do we recon? How many weeks after closing will they announce the cinema screening?

Here's hoping.

[bobbybaby]

So Patti’s off this afternoon. Francesca Ellis is on as Joanne instead.

Yeah, I am here too, but no Patti. Saw Ellis in Frankfurt, but cannot remember her.

[bobbybaby]

Well, really enjoyed that matinee. Francesca did a great job. Seemed s little quiet initially but hit her stride and did an excellent ‘ladies who lunch’. Rosalie was on top form and ‘Being Alive’ was the best I have heard her sing it. The whole cast looked as if they were having a ball. The play felt very balanced and I thought Bobbie seemed more prominent than when I have previously seen it. I did miss the sheer wonder of Miss LuPone occasionally though. All in all a great afternoon. 👏👏👏👏

I assume Patti must be off this evening too?

I asked one of the ushers but they weren’t sure if she’d be back !

[freckles]

Patti is supposed to be doing an “In conversation with...” tomorrow.
