The rumours were that Christina Bennington was workshopping this due to an insta story she put up the other day, but it seems that it’s the new Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow musical.

Apologies, I thought it was a Musical Theatre discussion board. My bad. From reading your posts, you were the one who made snarky comments towards someone else's opinion first. It sounded very much like you think you know best about anything musical theatre related, and many of your comments sound that way. |

Doesn’t make it right though does it? The first ‘Heathers’ trio were slated for their non-High School ages. Theres only so much suspension of disbelief I can muster before it just feels like a p*sstake. I think the issue is that they’d probably want a few names in this to sell it, especially in somewhere like the Savoy, but I couldn’t tell you the name of 1 west end star who is in the age bracket, say 16-19, to play any of the lead roles. So the cast will most likely be 21-26, id say that they would probably struggle even with 21-23 and have to look older. Hannah Lowther? |

Elena Skye is my top pick for Janis. Her Scaramouche is brilliant and I feel she'd bring that energy to this part.

But I genuinely can’t see what part she would play, apart from Karen but only cos they are both annoying. |

My guess is an announcement coming earlier with tickets then going on sale October 3rd.

I would imagine they'll try to get to October 3rd to announce but so many people know now that I wonder if they'll have to go earlier

The film will now release at cinemas in January rather than be a direct to streaming. Rare that a big musical has a film adaptation before its West End debut, although it certainly didn't hurt Hairspray.

On casting - everyone getting messed around. Some people are on their fourth round, some people only just done a first tape. Feel like they have no clue what they want!

I hope they aren’t building it around one person, meaning everyone else has to match in…making it tricky to change direction when recasting. Unless it was Renee Rapp, then they should feel free to stitch themselves up 😬 |
