I think half of the tour cast will be coming in and I'm happy with that! If/when that happens I’ll be very excited to shake the London lot up, I just don’t think the West End cast have the sparkle that the tour did.

Unfortunately a lot of this cast just seem to lack energy and there’s no excitement or freshness from them.
I understand that performing the same role/track every day can take its toll, but as a performer you need keep it fresh!
I hope a lot of the tour cast come in and shake things up.
(And I hope Sophie No-Effort Evans leaves)

Anyone else thing in light of current news topics and the way the world is reacting to things that happen in life, Morrible is a bit of a bully towards Glinda at school? "I hope you prove me wrong, I doubt you will" is quite mean!

I’m more concerned about what she’s got planned for Doctor Dillamond.
It’s baaaaaaaaaad!

I saw the show today and thought it was excellent.
Alice Fearn has an incredible voice and has sung exceptionally for almost a 2 year run now, plus a year as standby!

I think she's excellent. I like the way she plays a vulnerable Glinda, who tries so hard to be strong and brave in the final scene.

Maybe they won’t announce it and the cast will just perform and we can all guess.

Looks like Alistair is at a photo shoot today so expect cast announcement next week perhaps if they’re having photos done?!

How many times do I have to say that Laura is leaving at cast change!? She's also been auditioning for other shows (french ones in particular). She will not be promoted. However I suspect she will return within the next 5 years as lead Elphaba maybe!

And looking at your past posts it seems to be two. So, what is your “credible” source?

The new Elphaba has actually been playing the role secretly for the last fortnight...in an Alice Fearn mask. Can’t believe nobody has twigged yet. They will announce it once the inside of the mask starts to pong a bit and she can’t stand it any more. 😚

I hope the announcement comes this week so this thread can get back to - well - not moaning about cast change, and moaning about something else.

I don't know if we have the same source but mine was a current cast member and I think there are more people who have heard it from different places. so by the logic of this I'd see it as confirmed that she's leaving. Same goes for Sophie, there's been multiple things pointing towards it (gigs, holidays) and I think if you have a bunch of those it's more than just a hint.

Idina Menzel and Helen Dallimore are returning.
My credible source told me.

Fine by me. I thought Dallimore was heartbreakingly good.

I don't really get you guys. on one hand you wanna know what's happening and bring the topic of CC back up over and over again. and on the other hand if people post snippets of information (as good or as accurate as they know them), you ridicule them? I guess I don't really see the aim of that.
