One of my favourite things about the red carpet last night was when the Dreamgirls cast were chatting onstage, Marisha was speaking on behalf of the group and you just saw Karen behind her giving the occasional shady glance.  And Ruth was hiding behind a tree |

Nah i think they get on. You could see them walking round together and having selfies and stuff with each other in the background of the rest of the show. Seemed fine with each other. |

Marisha must be 1st Alternate so probably would speak for the group. I doubt Karen is that peeved off because they seem to get on fine - Marisha posted a photo somewhere of them togehtf |

What are people's views on Wilma's comments last night about Amber not thanking the alternates?! Have any other award winners thanked their understudies? But I guess it's different with a formal alternate who has scheduled shows?

The award was for her performance, not those of her alternates. Whilst it would have been nice of her, it shouldn't be a requirement and it's certainly not a disgrace that she didn't.

Wilma seemed to be looking for something to moan about last night. Yes, it would have been nice (she did thank the cast though), but she's done nothing wrong in not doing so. Its not like she does 4 shows a week or something. Its 7 out of 8

I'm surprised Ruth isn't moaning on twitter about not being thanked  (she got this) |

Its lovely to see Marisha and Karen together during the event. I agree though that Amber should of thanked them, especially considering Amber misses at least one show a week (though she has missed a fair few more than that!) and the girls have been keeping the show going. I love the shade of Wilma actually tagging Amber in the status. |

Anyone remember when West End Wilma was relevant?
Me neither.

Some of the comments on the tweet are really horrible too, she had PNEUMONIA people which can be really serious, my mum had it when she was younger and said she didn't properly recover for 6 months. I haven't actually seen Dreamgirls yet but it seems Amber gives her all every night and really wants to be there so she'd only miss a show if she absolutely had to.

If she thanked the cast, then that includes her alternates. Not an issue.

No, WestEnd Welma is disgraceful.
Is there any increase in sales because of the awards? I was booking a Friday performance in May during the awards. Wonder if it sold out for May by now.

Just seen Ambers performance at the Olivier awards. As expected, she does a fantastic job, though i thought some of the phrasing was a little odd. maybe she's just trying to switch it up a bit. Thankfully its a performance from the show, rather than just singing the song.
I hope ITV manage to cut down on some of the audience reaction so you can actually hear all the song over the whooping and hollering.

She's just won an Olivier Award for Best Actress - of course she's gonna be really shocked and overwhelmed and forget to thank some people! Wilma is making a mountain out of a molehill - she obviously didn't do it out of spite. Give the girl a break and let her enjoy her award
As for Wilma, I just can't seem to connect with the blog anymore since it came out she isn't the one running it! I feel like I've been lied to haha

Both Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele have upcoming concerts in London, there are too many Glee related people in this city. Let's just keep Amber

I see Asmeret Ghebremichael has been added into the programme now, has anyone who recently got a programme since she joined, does it have Ruth under the Alternate bit still?

there are better seats to be had than those I mention above, but for £20, are they a no brainer? And for all the same price, which would you rate? Thanks very much! For £20, they are no-brainers indeed. You can't go wrong in any of those. I'd go for row S first if able to see over heads in front, but those circle seats are ideal if not too long-legged at that cash. About J is nice, not G for the rail, and the end of M isn't bad at all. For £20 that's a give away! Just gone for one of these for Saturday matinee (Low end of L in the circle). Mixed messages on the ATG site as it says sold out then you click through and loads available! |

Does anyone know when the booking period, post Oct 2017, will open? It seems like it might be good time to extend the booking period, given the renewed media interest in the show, in light of the Oliviers.
