I don't know who's playing who but here is a picture of the new cast for the new production of FHTE

If you click on cast and creatives on that link and scroll down, it tells you who's playing who. I only recognise two names there.

Glad to see some fresh faces given a chance instead of certain people who seem to be ubiquitous at the moment. Booked.

Looking forward to see Desmonda Cathabel, about who I've heard great things and two completely fresh faces in the male leads. Beats having the cast led by JLG and CHF... |

They must have made a few cuts with only 4 females in the show now. No female ensemble I guess.
And good to see they have understudies and swings in the cast too

What? Why would it be good to see swings on? It means the ensemble is short. What?? It's the difference between allowing the show to go on if people are sick, or cancelling the performance. I know which i'd prefer. Also, swings and understudies are not usually part of shows at the Charing Cross Theatre, another reason that it's great to see them included. Considering it's running in Winter months is a sensible move on their part. So do you have a problem when swings are on? Certainly sounds like it. Swings have saved many shows over the past year and they should be praised, not put down. |

Desmond’s Cathabel is super talented.
I was expecting her to be cast in recent cast change of Les Mis.
Future Eponine??

Surely having swings can only be a good thing. Otherwise if anyone is off they have to have a cut show?!?

This wasn't really on my radar but Elaine Paige played a song yesterday and I rather liked it. Looking at tickets even the cheapest are a bit pricey for me, do we think there will be offers or cheaper tickets as it's not selling too well.

Looking at tickets even the cheapest are a bit pricey for me, do we think there will be offers or cheaper tickets as it's not selling too well. I booked through London Theatre Direct and paid £20.50 for stalls row A in early November. That's preview pricing and a £7 discount on the £25.00 + £2.50 booking fee theatre price. |

I'm booked in to see this on Saturday.
I really enjoyed it at the Shaftesbury and made sure I got back for the final performance then.
I hope there are no time delays however as I forgot how long the original show was and booked an 11pm coach home from Victoria thinking "oh I'll get out around 10pm so plenty of time to make it to the station" before remembering this runs close to 3 hours if they haven't cut anything 😬.

If it has cut the strange start of the original with the guy coming out of the pit and playing the ukulele I think before climbing on stage they have saved several minutes already.
One of the most effective killers of an audience anticipation and interest I have ever witnessed.

As the stage is in the round type any recommendations if one side is favoured more or has better sight vantage.
