Ah, that will be a good time for me to book in then. Certainly going to see it again before it closes.

Oh god! Is it immersive theatre then? Making you feel you are in NY on a hot sticky summers night. I might book for later in September then.

I've been there on a really warm summer day and it was nice and cool inside.

One of my friends has just done the LoveTheatre deal and booked us for tomorrow night!  My 4th time seeing the show, her first time so very excited even though I only saw it a week or so ago!  |

Josie Benson tweeted that she's on as Abuela tomorrow. Ooooo wow, that will be a real change to the show!  I wonder who will be on for Camila then? I assume Jocasta but I am slightly intrigued by Philippa performing that role... though at the same time I love her as Daniela and it is one of my favourite performances currently in London so I don't want to not see her do that hahaha |

This is a random question, but does anyone remember the order of bows at the curtain call? A friend who saw the show last year asked me and it is bugging me I can't remember 100% hahaha |

I hope I get the full cast on Sunday evening although as long as Emma Kingston and David Bedella are there I will be happy! Does anybody know the current running time of the show? Some websites say 2 hours, some 2 hours 30/35? Would be fantastic if I can get an 11:16 train from KGX after the 8:30 show. |

Does anyone know if Jocasta will be scheduled to play Daniela again before she leaves?

Jeez this cast, everytime they just deliver sensational performances. People are gonna be sick of me saying this, but Phillipa, just Phillipa. She is just fabulous. Such a dynamic performer, she needs to be a permanent fixture in the West End! This has truly been solidified as one of my favourites tonight! |

Saw this last night for the 4th time, first time this year so a fair few cast changes. Had Emma Kingston not returned I probably wouldn't have gone again but I am glad I did, she was fantastic, Cleve, David and Josie also as good as always. Only difference was Camilla didn't have a long wig but short cropped bleached hair, looked so different! Her enough was great. Also loved the new Abuela, she was hilarious! Daniella stole the show, much more than when I had seen Philippa previously she was a force to be reckoned with and got the biggest laughs of the night. The only understudy on was Michael as Sam is on holiday, I have to say I much preferred Sam's take on the role. It just didnt seem to flow as well as usual. I also preferred Lily's Nina, she was by far my favourite at previous performances. Theatre was pretty full for an 8:30 Sunday show too which is always nice to see.

Josie has tweeted that she's got 3 more days as Abuela then 2 weeks as Camila before she leaves, plus Jocasta, Ryan and Kimmy will be leaving in 3 weeks for Dreamgirls and Philippa at the same time for Rent, I'm assuming a cast/extension announcement is imminent?

So with that, it would mean Josie's final performance is September 4th and Jocasta, Ryan, Kimmy and Philippa will be leaving September 11th? |

I worked that out wrong, I know Jocasta (and I'm assuming the other Dreamgirls gang) are leaving on the 4th, and Cleve's just tweeted he's leaving then too!  |

Well damn, they are due a cast change announcement any day now! At least with them saying they are just leaving, it puts good faith that the show itself may be sticking around with a new cast. They wouldn't hire a new cast for just a month, they would just close the show as they wouldn't be able to run it with just who will be left.

Looks like cast change is definitely the 4th, Philippa posted this on the 14th:

Well I'm definitely going to have to pop in a few times before then then. There must be an announcement very soon one way or the other.

I wonder if Victoria Hamilton-Barritt might come back for the remaining weeks, I much preferred her as Daniela so here's hoping.

If it is closing in October she can't, she is going into Murder Ballad at the Arts Theatre. But I suspect there will be a "new cast and booking period" announcement that comes together. |
