Not sure if this has already been said but Danny Mac is only doing Sunset until Christmas. It says on the official website and as he has now been cast in the Birmingham panto which runs at the same time as Sunset returns from its christmas break i dont see him returning

Ria is the right sort of age to play Norma, she has been played by much older actresses before.
I was checking Ria's age on IMDB and it says well known drag act Ceri Dupree is her brother - I've never heard this before!
Ironically Ceri is in B'ham Panto with Ria's Sunset Blvd co-star Danny Mac this year.

I was in a quaint, little known fishing village called Sitges (you won't have heard of it) a couple of weeks ago and Ria's photo is proudly displayed in El Piano, the bar where she used to belt out showtunes until the early hours of the morning back in the day.

I do hope they have a bit more set for this than the recent Broadway production!

I do hope they have a bit more set for this than the recent Broadway production! As this is a David Ian Production, not ENO's, I imagine the orchestra won't be on stage for UK tour, so the set is likely to be quite different. |

Based on a rehearsal photo Danny Mac just posted on instagram it looks like the staircase may be a set piece that is moved on and off

I look forward to seeing Dougie Carter as Joe should Mr Mac be indisposed. He is, by all accounts, rather talented.

really excited to hear news about this! Here's hoping for a highly successful tour... perhaps there will be a US tour or a return to the West End (ala the recent Evita return)

I think a US tour might be difficult. Sunset Boulevard is a much bigger brand in the UK than it is in the US, as it became apparent since the ENO. It did well in its recent revival, but it heavily depended on Glenn Close. You can partially say the same thing about the London revival, but Ria Jones is a noteworthy West End performer and got very interesting press during the ENO run, so she's a bit more marketable.
Remind me when it opens at the Curve again? I'm seeing it late Sept.

Glad I held back on booking tickets. Have just had an email from ATG with a flash sale including half price tickets at Manchester. Perfectly timed with payday

You must be on a special list, Richey! if you go to the website and enter your card number as if you were going to buy the seats, you'll see the discounts available you don't necessarily need to click through from an email |

Worth mentioning that Jay Records is releasing a double title Evita/Sunset Boulevard studio cast recording with Ria Jones as Norma, Matt Bogart as Joe, and Laura Pitt-Bulford as Betty. Not sure who is singing Max. Not sure who is in the Evita tracks. End of September.

Not sure who is singing Max. Not sure who is in the Evita tracks. End of September. Fab! Surely it'd be a crime to not record Ria Jones' Eva Peron? Matt Bogart as Che, Laura Pitt-Pulford as The Mistress and whoever is singing Max as Peron? |
