She would be so mis-cast for that role! It would be like Barbara in that she would be playing herself, not Fanny Brice. Plus, Kerry, from my experience, really isn't one for the comedy. I may be wrong as I have only seen her in Wicked and Cats but still...

A huge bit of casting news... Victoria Hamilton Barritt will join Kerry in the show!! Two divas with huge voices in a very intimate theatre, well it will be an amazing vocal experience to say the least!

The whole cast is rather brilliant. I'm looking forward to the show.

It is slowly creeping up as one of the things I am most looking forward to this year...

Maybe Kerry really wants to originate a role for once rather than takeovers like before?

I admit I'm not fussed about Kerry (great singer but I don't really rate her as an actress) but the rest of the cast has convinced me to go.
Doesn't appear to be well sold so far. Hopefully that'll change once they've announced the full cast.

This looks like a right stinker. The Arts theatre is the home of terrible musicals

The Arts theatre is... terrible Fixed that for you MrB. From programming to lack of any kind of proper front house, from a crap (and blisteringly hot) auditorium to a management team that a lot of my friends refuse to have anything to do with it, it is truly a wart on the West End. I cheered when they announced a new management team were coming in and gutting the whole building as I think that is the only way to make anything good out of The Arts at this point. |

Perhaps they ought to rename it to shake off the bad reputation. I must admit I avoid going at all costs after two uncomfortable experiences.
"The other other Palace. No. Not that one. Or that one. Or that one either. Yep, you got it, the one that looks nothing like a Palace in any way shape or form. That one."

Amazing! I never thought I'd be excited about seeing Matt Cardle in something, but after Memphis I'd love to see him somewhere else!

My main issue with Kerry Ellis is that she has two volumes. Loud and LOUDER! That's all very well when you're bellowing out the score to Wicked but she's got all of the subtlety of Donald Trump at the Mexican border with a sledgehammer, a megaphone and a cannon.

I thought Matt Cardle was supposed to be in this. Has he pulled out or been replaced by Ramin?

This was originally advertised as running until December. Does anyone know if that will still be the case?
