I really hope they invite Gina Murray to reprise her role as Velma from the last tour. She did such a great job in a so-so role.

I am definitely in the minority here but I would rather not have to listen to Sandra Marvin's nasal singing again - saw her once in London and once on tour and wasn't impressed by her singing. Her acting was fine. I also saw Johnnie Fiori as Motormouth Maybelle and thought her voice was much stronger.

Maybelle really gets THE best song in the entire show in my opinion. I've never seen a reaction quite like Marisha Wallace in Dreamgirls there was something so special about her rendition of And I'm Telling you the night I seen her and I would kill to see her in this if she doesn't plan to stay in Waitress.

I can certainly see Marisha in the role to be honest, she has really made a name for herself since Dreamgirls. Would she be too young tho, given that Motormouth is a mother? Judging by what people have been saying, I’m not sure if Waitress will still be around by April but even if it is, cast change would’ve probably happened by then. I’d personally love to see Brenda back. She was fab on tour and I think it’d be great for her to have in the west end and in the original production. |

I thought last night when having a re listen to the recording that Marisha wouldn't make a bad Maybelle at all!

Marisha can play any role in my opinion. She's definitely one of the best I think I've ever seen on stage.

Marisha is way too young to play that role.

Succumbed to buy a ticket even though I've seen it twice before with Michael Ball.

Wash your mouth out with soap! I'd love to see Motormouth legend Sandra Marvin come back, and there probably is enough time for her to be written out of Emmerdale but seems unlikely. Beverley would be fabulous, and I'd put my name down to see Sharon D Clark have a bash at it too. I would like to see Sharon in something with a happy ending! |

She was I Soho Cinders which has a happy ending. |

Sharon D Clarke was the final Motormouth in the original production - I would love to see her back, but I can't see it personally.

Just thinking about casting. I don't know if the dates clashed now that 9 to 5 has extended, but they could potentially cast either Amber Davies or Natalie McQueen as Amber/Penny?

Pretty sure they're easy enough to cover up! |

Pretty sure they're easy enough to cover up! She got special make up to cover up the ones on her legs in Kinky Boots so it's definitely not an issue. |

I'm pretty sure Amber was meant to go into the UK tour but opted for Love Island instead. This great big landmark revival wouldn't be a bad thing for her! |
