I saw it yesterday and I really did enjoy it. Michelle was an interesting one, there were sometimes when she had the accent pretty much sorted, other times she was changing between accents quicker than Michael Jibson's quick change when he did Our House. The disappointing thing is that it led her to stumble through a fair number of lines. It'll be interesting to see if she improves as her run continues and if they extend her contact. Hopefully. The role doesn’t have very many lines to begin with. |

Michelle is box office gold. The show was already doing well on its own, but with her casting it will push it into at least 90% sold every performance, if not higher. If she wants to stay, they'll keep her around. But I suspect, with RuPaul filming commitments, she won't be able to stay much longer if she does extend. Does she have that much selling power? I’m never very good at judging how well known someone is to the general public. Might check her out tomorrow night as I haven’t seen Luke Bayer as Jamie yet either and it’d be great to kill two birds with one stone, or two drag queens with one dress or something  |

The show is by Soho, land of the gays! And alot of gays watch RuPaul, and they'll drag their girlfriends and other gays, and then they'll drag their friends! Trust me, she will be a huge casting choice for them! |

I’d thought Sharon D Clarke could be great but I guess she’s maybe a little too old? Plus it obviously couldn’t be her from January because of Caroline or Change.

I have it on very good authority that Olivia Colman will be donning the hallowed high waisted denims.

It's going to be Martine, but she will never be there so the understudy, Steph Parry, will always be on ;-)
