My vote goes to Louise Dearman. She's probably a few years too young, but I think she'd be great!

What about Ria Jones who has already done the role to acclaim in Paris. Her run in Sunset ends at the end of the month.

Any of the 3 ladies above would be brilliant. I'm paying my 4th visit next week and am interested to see Lulu for myself.

I'd like to see Ria Jones, but I see this going to a star name again.
As soon as it goes to a traditional musical theatre name not known to the public, I'd take that as a sign they're planning to close the show soon.

Would Imelda Staunton do it?

Wouldn’t it be fabulous if Patti LuPone did a limited stint before/after her appearance in Company? I can imagine her being perfect in the role! Otherwise, my vote also goes to Tracie Benett

You can't just say that and give no further information!

it is confirmed,that is all I can say It isn't confirmed until it's announced unless you can actually cite a source. People are always going to be sceptical when someone posts something like this out of the blue unless it's someone with a proven track record of inside information. That said though, everyone knows about the Drury Lane refurb so we all assumed it would close towards the end of this year or early next anyway, so it's no real surprise. |

I'm seeing the show tonight, first time with the new cast. Its slightly tough because you have to go in with an open mind and almost forget the Original Cast who were perfect, and also remove the critique of certian members in the current cast to make your own fair opinion, so I hope I enjoy it all the same. Long as Clare is on, you're kinda innsafe hands anyway tho I suppose.  |

Still loved the show. Clare is obviously still a star, and thank god the three girls Emma, Clare and Ella stayed too. Its still spectacular. All four levels open and pretty much full it seemed, very responsive as usual! Lots of cheering during the final tap number!  The Ensemble, it is still very clear who was Original, who is new. In time, this will change, but I am still drawn to the originals over any of the new kids. I thought Ashley was pretty spectacular to be truthful, but that is to be expected with him. Hes very charming, as a great voice, great dancer, great ass (even though this made him look like he basically had a wedgie the whole time!), what more could you want! In a thankless part, Matthew Goodgame was alot better than Norman. Lulu is a strange performance that took a moment to settle. I actually really enjoyed her. She sang the solos well, and is very funny. I liked her Quarter to Nine alot. Is she better than Sheena no, she is very much different and that is jarring, but I thought she turned in a fine performance that worked for her. I liked her and would be fine to see her again. |

Oh and her costumes are awful. Shoes great, but otherwise awful bar the silver dress.

For those wondering, the cast will be performing the title number tonight at the Oliviers. A smart move putting the Ensemble, Ashley Day and Clare "robbed" Halse at the forefront.
I hope Clare gives her usual stellar performance as a massive f*** you to those who dare not nominate her.

I'm still furious at Clare not being nominated. What were they thinking?
And still they nominated Michael Jibson when he is 5-10 minutes on stage. Don't get me wrong, I love Hamilton and he's fantastic, but it is quite unfair.

Is there any site where I can see it online? Magic Radio should be streaming the audio live online. The delayed TV broadcast on ITV3 should be streaming online too. |
