Regents Park shows don't really go after names as such so it wouldn't surprise me if it's an unknown

I wouldn’t mind seeing Emma Kingston have a got at it here either, or Christine Allado.

Ditto! Can’t wait, I have a feeling this is gonna be sensational. Likewise JCS at Barbican. |

There's not much news on this. Any rumours re casting?
I'm really keen to see this as this a favourite show of mine and I avoided the awful Kenwright tat that they shoved in as filler at the Dominion and Phoenix. So last time i saw this in London was the superb revival at the Adelphi, which had too short a run. Jamie Lloyd was assistant director on that, so interested to see his take on it.

Nice try but she’s still in The Bodyguard tour at that point according to the website!
Unless she’s able to pull out...

If I recall correctly, they are after a specifically Asian Juan Peron as well |

Why not? It's a fictionalised account, not an exact retelling of someone's life. The only thing that matters is talent! I can't believe we might be about to have essentially the same debate in multiple threads at the same time... |

I'm pro-color blind casting. But you don't specifically seek out a certain race when the story does not call for it. If the actress happens to be black - so be it, and by all means. But to shut out other POC's and any other race under the sun when it's completely uncalled for, is just not solving the problem.

why not cast the one who sings the best at the audition?
where are the people that scream racism when they posted they only search for white actresses?
all silent? why is the outrage not as big as the other way round, it is discrimination

I can't believe we might be about to have essentially the same debate in multiple threads at the same time... There's a difference between casting a black actress as she is the best for the part and saying it can only go to a black actress. Complicated further as the role is portraying a white woman (though that switch seems to work for Hamilton) |

I don't think anyone who has been an advocate for color blind/color conscious casting had THIS in mind. |

They wanted Cynthia Erivo for it.
I kind of think it’s ironic that there’s uproar when they cast a white actor as Maria in West Side Story and yet when they are casting a real life person (who was white).. they state they want someone black..
