I'm also curious about the rest of the cast...
This sounds like a trainwreck. Such a shame!

How is Andy Moss and Jacqui?
I saw on Andy's Twitter that he replied to a fan who asked if he would be doing the tour next year and he said "let's see how the first half goes! ;-)"
Maybe Sarah will be the only one who leaves?

If she doesn't get the boot or drop out (which I suspect could happen!) sooner. Which again is awful. It is just so sad, it makes me so angry that the producers thought she would be able to carry this kind of a role!  |

I doubt the producers would sack her before Christmas but they might not want her back. I wouldn't be surprised if she maybe dropped out if she gets lots of slack though? I'd like to think she's stronger than that though and will see it through until Xmas |

She was clearly nervous about it all when she was doing the promo rounds. I'd like to think its first night jitters and she'll improve but she seems to be quite insecure really and if she gets a slating it could be the end of it.
God I bet Kimberley's texting finger is almost dropping off!

As a show I've seen as a workshop, the Manchester try out, London, New York and the first tour, and enjoyed them all, this was a disaster. Aside from Oda Mae, it is poorly cast, the set is very budget, nearly all of the effects have been stripped out, and there is no revised book as reported. There are a few line changes, and one song has been cut, but other than that, it's the same.

May I ask what is the song that has been cut (I am assuming that Ball of Wax number or its New York replacement?) and what effects, if any, have been kept? Do they still have the screens or anything tech-heavy like that? How was the audience at the end of it?

Just to note, this random Melodie girl myself and Steve have quoted, she practically went in wanting to hate it by saying before the show began: twitter.com/_MellyM_?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwSo her views really shouldn't be bible as it is quite clear she went in with a negative mindset from the get-go. |

The "new" Ball Of Wax is there still. It's pretty much as per the last tour except they've reverted to the original opening instrumental, some songs have been shortened (thank goodness), and Talkin About A Miracle has gone, plus the "big" instrumental end before the curtain call.
And Nothing Stops Another Day sounds like it has been scored a bit differently and is faster.

The "door trick" is very very budget. Other than that, there are a couple of objects that move, but everything else has gone entirely.

Deary me, did the audience enjoy it? No standing ovation? No cheering? No nothing?  |

Big question: is it worse than 'Exposure'?

So wait, the pottery scene is now in the Unchained Melody slot and Molly sings it rather than Sam?! So those producers gave Sarah ANOTHER solo?!

Twitter search for Ghost on Tour reminds me of the reviews for War of the Worlds......

Anyone know when press night is? How long have they got to pull it together?

Big question: is it worse than 'Exposure'? It was absolutely awful. I saw ghost in the west end more than 4 times and to see it being butchered like this is shocking. Exposure was much better than this. Sarah Harding's over acting killed it for me. Also the musical oozed of cheapness. I wouldn't bother watching this crap. |
