I don't know if a tour is on the cards or not but i'd have her down as a contender for the lead on any tour, especially of she does well on the show and becomes 'known'.

Haven’t watched the interview so can’t comment fully, but the wording of this tweet sounds really snobbish - I’m sure more a social media thing than her actual attitude.

Just wondering if this transfers to Broadway? Any casting rumours From what I've heard from several people, it is still planning on going to Broadway, however some of the casting is their reason for holding off, namely Amber for scheduling and to make sure she is in the best health after her issues with attendance and illness here in the West End, because missing a show on Broadway is a much bigger issue for producers than if the star misses a show here. So I imagine we will see it go to Broadway maybe in 2020. |

They've now made the final three lotteries live on TodayTix. No lottery for the final show it seems, but the two shows tomorrow and Saturday matinee are on there now.

Are we entering final performances for the Effies tonight? Are they doing a performance each leading to the final performance? I think it's Karen's last night, Moya's tomorrow matinee and Marisha's final on closing night or have one of the girls already left?

Those wondering, the show ended tonight with the three lead Effies taking to the stage after curtain call in their Finale outfits and singing the Dreamgirls Reprise. Lovely way to end. |

Saw this tonight whilst driving past the Savoy. Thinking of the great memories that show held for me- I was lucky enough to see it 5 times, with various friends and family, moments I'll treasure! God, I sound so sappy. Sad to see it go, but happy to see what life it will have next and what's in store for the savoy after 9 to 5! |

Ah man- the song I balled my eyes out to the 1st time I saw it. Here's hoping someone has a sneaky video of it... |

They are very keen aren’t they?! I can’t imagine the 9 to 5 set will take longer than 13 minutes to put up.. a few desks and a screen on wheels. |

I wonder why they clear out straight after the final curtain? Can’t they wait to the morning? Or is this just a Sonia Friedman thing, remember they clearing out after La Cage Aux Folles, straight after final curtain.

Or is this just a Sonia Friedman thing, remember they clearing out after La Cage Aux Folles, straight after final curtain. It's fairly standard practice across the industry. All that kit is on hire, it's got value. Get it out and returned Sunday and they won't incurr another weeks hire. Monday morning 9 to 5 starts it's fit up so the entire venue needs to clear of all things Dreamgirls; set back to blank canvas. |

That Dolly Parton line is really misleading...

Last night was truly special and a great send-off! Incredible atmosphere at the Savoy and the cast reveled in it.
Marisha unsurprisingly bought the house down with AIATY, struggling to hold it together through all of the applause by the end. Standing Os for that, I Am Changing and Listen and then an instant ovation as soon as the finale was over. Brennyn was giving Marisha a run for her money with some of her vocals, and Asmeret and Tosh were on fire!
Sonia Friedman came out at the end, sobbing saying it wasn't the end of Dreamgirls, hinting at the tour which we already knew about and then she invited Henry Krieger on to the stage, which was lovely. Night ended with a Dreamgirls reprise from the trio of Effies, Lorrel and Deena.

I'm glad I hadn't paid to see that... if that's what AIATY has become, I'm glad I haven't been for a while.

A minute long standing ovation where the singer stops completely whilst it goes on in a musical seems... a choice? I'm surprised Marisha got away with that in truth, because that shouldn't happen right?

She didn't put her head down to breath, she just stopped singing! If feels very staged
