I think Natalie McQueen being cast in this is the push I need to book for this.

Well that’s exciting! Nice to have what I consider big London MT names in this - I’ll certainly be paying a visit!

Jordan Fox is listed in this announcement as staying on for another year, so I assumed he didn't get tour lead but is indeed staying as first cover Charlie in London. Either way this announcement excites me. I'll admit I see this show quite a bit, so I'll be sad to see some go but I'm pleased many of my favourites are staying and those that are joining seem good fits for the roles (namely Oliver and Natalie). Pleased to see a couple of promotions within the cast as well, Sean Needham will take over as Don and Antony Reed will play the role of George

Ooooh isn't he tall? If he falls off those heels he's coming down like one of those cooling towers after a controlled explosion.
NOT a day you want to be sat on the front row.

Oliver and Momar will make a ridiculously tall Charlie/Lola combo when Momar's on.
Very happy Sean Needham's promoted to Don - I was lucky enough to see him in November and he was brilliant.

I have never seen Kinky Boots before but this casting makes me want to book! Thought Natalie McQueen was brilliant in Wonderland although I didn't really enjoy the rest of the show, have seen Oliver Thompsett once in Rock Of Ages and twice in We Will Rock You and thought he was absolutely brilliant each time, looking forward to seeing him play a different type of role. I also met him twice and he seemed like such a lovely man and really took time to talk to people at Stage door! Hopefully I will get a chance to see them in this at some point!

Love that Olly is going into this. That paired with the fact that one of my childhood friends (one of the first and last girls I ever kissed!) is going into it too means I’ll have to get into see this cast!

Do we know when the cast change is scheduled to happen? KB is on the maybe list for things I might see during my June trip, the new cast members could potentially help make my mind up either way! The first show for the new cast is Monday 4th June Thank you! Very excited about this cast announcement, really might take the plunge and book! |

I'm a little confused, the press release says Cordelia Farnworth will continue as Nicola but I thought Bleu Woodward was the current Nicola?

I’d only seen Oliver Tompsett singing at the Apollo Victoria Gala, and wasn’t aware of Natalie McQueen until the Starlight Express workshop last year. It makes me happy that Dinah and Greaseball will continue their journey like this.
Still not convinced I would go back and see this show for them; I love so much about it but it just doesn’t click. Maybe if I can get super cheap tickets . . .

Went and saw the show again last night, Cordelia is indeed back as Nicola. Equally this is the reason why the cast announcement was made on a Monday rather than the previous Friday, they wanted to be able to say Cordelia was continuing in the role.
I’m quite excited to see the new cast and their takes on the role. Before the announcement I was considering going down for their opening night, now I’ve heard the announcement in definitely going to make that trip

I might be in the minority here but having seen Natalie McQueen in Wonderland I actually don't think her voice is that great.

UPDATE: Jonathan Carlton, who recently played Pippin in the Southwark Playhouse and Hope Mill production will also be joining the cast. He was left out of the cast announcement but he just announced on twitter.
He will be Ensemble, Richard Bailey and 2nd Cover Charlie Price.

I thought the number of cast members leaving and those joining didn’t quite add up. This explains it, wonder why he got left out of the original announcement

So we now know the line of Charlies for the next year will be:
Oliver Thompsett
Jordan Fox
Jonathan Charleston
I really hope Jonathan gets some dates. I want to see all three, but as I've said, Jordan is one of the best understudies I've ever seen so he is definitely getting me back to the show!
