She did say (in her Singular Sensations at Charing Cross Theatre) that her dream role is Fanny Brice. Her Don't Rain On My Parade was stunning!

Thank you. Had booked for Sat matinee this weekend without checking. (Orchestra BB 2&4 - hope they are ok?)

Over from London on vacation and knew CE had very few absences for every show over here in the UK. 

How can I find out if she has any booked?

Thank you all for the tips. 

I know I've left this very late but will be in NYC and DC (visiting from London) for 11 days from 2nd Sept. I usually just get tickets from TKTS in person. Does anyone have advice or tips? Discounts/ticket sites etc. 

On my wish list are Color Purple, Waitress, The Humans, Fiddler, Something Rotten, Fun Home, Cagney but am open to recommendations. 

I realise some of the shows will be impossible to get. 

Thanks in advance.

 

People Places Things. 

Having seen the show in London (and really enjoyed it) I can't understand why someone who hasn't seen it would be so negative about it?

I downloaded from iTunes

"Not in a Disney way" is very funny and more than a bit rude. 

Robert Sean Leonard played Atticus (superbly) at The Barbican last year and at Regent's Park a few years earlier 

Thought this was wonderful. Can't believe the number of critical comments on here. 

Wonder if this (and Grease) will be shown in the UK? Sound of Music Live  was not well received over here. I'm sure The Wiz and Grease would be.

Spot on review from The Guardian

Hamilton22 said: "Is her voice powerful enough to knock out those big bumbers like I'm the greatest star, People, Don't rain on my parade and such? I'm particularly interested in greatest star. The song doesn't work unless you actually believe you're listening to the greatest star. Is Sheridan the greatest star?

Saw this for the second time last Saturday and it is definitely ready for Press Night AND The Savoy.

At first preview she seemed to under sing everything until Don't Rain...  But then, boy did she belt! I agree that Greatest Star should be her convincing us, so hope she does exactly that tomorrow. She does have a powerful voice so I'm sure it'll be spot on by press night. 

I saw the first preview. And am returning tomorrow matinee. It is an utter joy! SS is perfect, no trace of Barbra, making the role fresh. She had us in the pal of her hand. MCF is tiny so a chorus line of 8 fills it. Special mention to Marilyn Cutts too (as Mrs Brice). 

It will be interesting to see if Cynthia Erivo gets a nod for Color Purple.  If she had been eligible for an Olivier, I think she would have been a safe bet.

Here is a link to her singing one of her own songs.  Beautiful.
