Oh I expected it to be John Owen Jones because Les Mis are that boring. But hey, I enjoyed him in town.

I wonder if David will be Javert then. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the London cast didn't end up on the tour.
I doubt I'll be able to get to any of it because the tickets are selling out fast when released (and tragically I don't have cards to buy online 😢).

I can only do the closer end venues. A few I can't get coach home on the same day. I went to Brum for Miss Saigon. Only Southampton I know I can get to so praying that its a venue they go to. |

I doubt I'll be able to get to any of it because the tickets are selling out fast when released (and tragically I don't have cards to buy online 😢). Last time they split the talent using London to provide enough leads to make the tour look good and gave the tour a top Valjean on top . You ended up with London having the stronger Eponine, and Thenardiers . But London also keeping a weaker Valjean and all the supposedly star names working up for the concert, , and the tour getting JOJ , plus Earl Carpenter and Katie Hall from London as Javert and Cosette, And its the London Eponine and the tour Cosette who get the roles for the concert. |

I'm seriously just hoping that Mackintosh doesn't cast Carrie Hope Fletcher as Eponine. Never been a fan of hers. (And the stage door situation would become two cliques; theatre fans and CHF fans) I want to go see the show because I've never actually seen it, and I've heard good things about Killian as Valjean. Fletcher as Eponine would make me a bit reluctant.

It’s the other way round I think, Wednesday evenings and Sat mats! That would make more sense although I'm surprised they'd be off Saturday at all. the reason Saigon use the Saturday matinee for the alternate Kim is so that the lead doesn't have to do a two show day. So on a Thursday, the lead does the matinee and the alternate does the evening, and on a Saturday the alternate does the matinee and the lead the evening. Of all the different alternate policies it's my favourite, as the lead doesn't have to do two shows a day (I'm not getting into the argument of whether the role justifies an alternate!), but also those people who can only attend matinees still have the opportunity to see the lead if they so wish. Unlike the recent tour of The Bodyguard where if you could only do matinees, you couldn't see La Burke! |

when will they announce the rest of the cast? just JVJ is not that much It may not be announced for ages but they didn't have to and don't have to announce anyone in the cast for the tickets to fly out the door. Newcastle are already sending emails touting their "friends" membership scheme to make sure you can guarantee them. |
