Full cast should be announced on the 29th of this month (or around 11pm on the 28th if Baz wants to talk about it 😉)

So who does everybody think will be cast?
I’d like to see them cast an MT name and not a celebrity but I’m always really unlucky with my predictions.

It's the first UK Tour for this and it will sell itself without a "name".

Judging from comments above, casting announced today ? Not from what I can see. Asked them on Twitter a few days ago and they replied saying "they won't keep us waiting much longer" |

Sorry for double posting.
I think Tim Newman or David Thaxton will be Charlie. Just been stalking Twitter and Tim is following quite a few people associated with Kinky Boots. David is finishing with Les Mis soon and I think he would be great in the role.
For Lola, maybe Callum Francis? I know someone mentioned his name in this thread at one point.
Lauren: The only person in Tim's Twitter followings who seems like a Lauren is Katie Rowley Jones, but she might be a bit too old for Lauren. Perhaps Georgina Castle? She's just out of Mamma Mia so would be available.

The 4 times I saw Katie in Wicked you'd have thought Nessa was dead from the start! |

I'm already seeing this in Edinburgh but I might see it at the Sunderland Empire or Kings Glasgow too. Both of those runs are in late spring/early summer and that would be good for me as I would have just finished all my exams - it would help me relax instead of spending ages stressing over results!

I wonder if Baz will have the announcement tonight. Be interesting if they go for any names. I don't really think it needs it.

I hope the 2 leads aren't 'names' such as soap stars/x factor rejects but I think they might use that tactic for Lauren.

I saw him once in London when he was understudy, he was excellent.

To say I’m thrilled is an understatement! Need to get booking for Northampton!
