We do need a revival of Company and I would love to see it, never have. Would have suggested this but heard that Marianne Elliott new production company intend to do a all female production. It would be glorious in the Menier. I've tried to expunge Paradise Found form my memory and you go and bring it up, my very first Menier musical. Close to You was another off Broadway transfer. Rosalie Craig is going to be in this. Olly Tompsett let it slip at his gig the other week. |

I would love to see 'The Rink' and my casting suggestions would be France's Ruffelle and Samantha Barks.

I would love it to be falsettos especially if it could have the recent Broadway Cast (although if it did they would probably not be in it) Or other ones I would like to see are pacific overtures,Godspell,Hedwig and the angry inch or side by side by sondheim The John Doyle take on Pacific Overutes opens soon at Classical Stage starring George Takei - fingers crossed It will cross the pond |

I was just wondering if I'd dreamed that we knew it was Rosalie... |

Frankly we've heard so little about the entire Elliott Harper Productions season since the initial announcements that I wouldn't be surprised to learn we really had hallucinated everything about it. I guess Marianne Elliott has been a little busy with other endeavours lately though...

Maybe it's finally time for Next To Normal to come to London. A host of fringe theatres would bite your arm off to do Next to Normal including the Menier. The problem is that the rights are locked in with David Stone who produced this in the US, David Stone is earning millions from Wicked, so not worried what little money a fringe production of Next to Normal will earn him in London at the the moment. What I think he will do, will allow someone like the Menier or similar produce Next to Normal with a view of using this as a Broadway Revival, which then can launch a US tour, just like the Colour Purple today. If the Menier production tanks, then he can try again with a US regional theatre like the Papermill or the Signature Theatres. However it is way too early for a Next to Normal. |

Salad Days is so dated now, saw a production at the Riverside Studio, Hammersmith (wonder what happen to that venue), it would need a revamp like Half A Sixpence or Me and My Girl.

I LOVE Salad Days. It's incredibly daffy and warm-hearted and I don't think I could ever entirely trust anyone who didn't hold a certain fondness for it. But then it would be hard to beat the Riverside Studios production, so I wouldn't necessarily want the Menier to do it just because I love it. |

I love Salad Days too! In one respect, yes it's dated, but in another it's kind of timeless.

I adored Pippin and saw it three times but I was in the minority buying up half price tickets. Compare that to last year's winter show - sold out in a flash. |

I'm another one who loves Salad Days, such warmth & joy. However the Tete a Tete Riverside production was so good (I saw it 5 times over 2 runs) that I don't want to see another one yet.

I nearly forgive you for loving Salad Days, but if that is your pussycat on your profile picture it is bloody lush!!! |

Looks cute but stroking attempts not recommended! I took the photo at the Highland Wildlife Park a couple of years ago and, coming across it the other day, thought it'd make a nice avatar. It's also a play on my name as, being named Catriona, I'm sometimes called Cat for short. |

I was thinking about this recently, and with the announced release of the filmed performance, how likely would it be that a limited run of Newsies could appear?

I would think Newsies would be too big of a show for the Menier unless they severely stripped down the choreography which would be a shame.

I would love a Pacific Overtures revival, possibly not with an all white cast...
