Wondering who would make a good Satine...I guess most of the cast will have to be good dancers. Ruthie Henshall would've been great in her younger days.

What?! There are NO video screens in Moulin Rouge- it’s an actual set. You do realise that even shows ‘via video screens’ do actually have physical scenery too? They were talking about Mean Girls, not Moulin Rouge  Nope. Pretty sure that’s not right |

Maybe they're leaving it till 2021 to give us time to forget Strictly Ballroom.

This was a lot of fun and a real feast for the eyes. I think it'll fit just fine at the Piccadilly as the Al Hirschfeld is very similar in size apart from having two levels instead of three.

Hope this means Pretty Woman can reopen and extend.

I'm confused, if the show hasn't been cast how can they tell the actors concerned?

I'm confused, if the show hasn't been cast how can they tell the actors concerned? They have already conducted casting sessions, so there will be actors who were “in the mix”, but now they’ll release these actors from any obligation and start from scratch, probably inviting these actors to later-round audition when they do restart. |

They would have a shortlist of actors for the lead roles so that must be what it means

I’m really looking forward to this opening next year ☺️🙌🏻 Me too! I loved the show on Broadway. If it’s beginning in the Autumn, I’d suspect tickets will go on sale in a few months, I just have hope that the West End will be back once the vaccine is widely out there! |

Perfectly fine, just a bit safe and dull.

Christian His vocal placements don’t know if he’s a pop, rock, musical theatre or opera singer. 8/10 and a good meh from me. Next |

I feel like this is Rob Houchen territory right? He's about as close to the Broadway casting as we've got. Not that they always try and copy.

I totally agree and he’s getting less twinky and more twunky now.
Rob is thumbs up for me as long as he lives in the gym.
Cute guy and sensational talent!

They would be crazy not to cast Rob Houchen in this. Vocally and physically he just is Christian. I imagine his ‘Come What May’ might have the ‘Love Changes Everything’ affect and send his career sky rocketing.

I agree Rob would be perfect - his voice is sublime.
(Anyway know what he's up to this Summer which means he can't come back for the Les Mis Concert?)

Slightly off topic, but one thing I found strange from what clips I've seen from the Broadway production was that despite Christian being an Englishman, Aaron Tveit spoke in an American accent. Was this because he couldn't really do a British accent? Which is strange because he seemed to do fairly decent one in the 'Les Mis' film. Or did they change Christian's background from being British to American? If this is the case, I assume the West End production will have him being British again.

I think they wanted to have the contrast of the 'posh' English accent of the Duke and the 'common' American for Christian. They definitely had a line somewhere about him being from America if I'm not mistaken.

He's American in the musical, just arrived from Lima, Ohio |
