Fascinated as to what damage Kenwright will do to this. I caught the original tour in 2014 and it was mega tech-heavy but seriously impressive with incredible illusions.
Intrigued to see what kind of treatment it will get in the "new production" for the tour and what will feature and won't.

Its a shame though, I do like Sarah a lot, but her voice is nothing like what Molly should be. Sarah is quite raspy.

Can't quite believe this...I was really looking forward to it aswell. Suppose it is £40 saved. She was diabolical in Corrie and that didn't require any emoting at all. Please let this be a mistake. 😩

Someone said a while back the believed Sabrina Aloueche and Liam Doyle had been cast. I was holding out for that being true! Will be interesting to see how Sarah and Andrew do.

Wow what exactly were they thinking? Have booked this for 2 venues. Will give it a go for Brighton but have a feeling I will be cancelling the next venue.

Oh, this is diabolically bad.
Kenwright casting at it's finest.

Not sure if I'll catch this, and this casting isn't making me want to go out of my way to see it. Very odd casting choices in my opinion, although I did enjoy Andy Moss in Hollyoaks  |

Isn't Rebecca Trehearn available after Show Boat has closed? She totally nailed Molly on the first UK tour. Sabrina Aloueche would've been also great.

This does seem to be a completely bonkers casting decision. The casting bods mustn't have seen her infamous appearance on Corrie, where she was out-acted by Rita, Emily, Norris and the Barlows' front door!
Seriously, was she the best they could come up with?

Oh gawd.. I was actually looking forward to this.
I'm all for giving people a chance but this is a massive role to go wrong.

To be fair, they must've both been auditioned so the producers, casting directors etc know their capability and they wouldn't of hired them if they couldn't sing the songs properly.
I dont know about Sarah's acting, but maybe she's improved since Corrie? She must've... Surely to be given the part?

I can't think of Sarah Harding without thinking of this:
I don't dislike her as much as most people seem to. Will be interesting to hear how she is. You couldn't pay me all the money in the world to watch Ghost again.

Several bad stunt casting experiences over the years tell me that this isn't always the case. But you're right, she might be good. At the end of the day we won't know until the tour starts. |

Now put them into a show. Any show. |

I can't imagine Sarah Harding will help sell tickets for this, it's not like they've cast Cheryl who, rightly or wrongly, would have been box office gold. Sarah could have the opposite effect. It doesn't make sense. The thought of her performing With You is simply laughable.
