Profile for Princeton Returns

Nicole has pulled out of Cats and ALW is not happy. Although suggesting she would be getting a Tony for it is a bit of a stretch

No that was just an article in the daily mail as who producers were looking at. And whilst it's clear they are making london plans,  nothing official has been announced like dates, theatre or cast.

Alfie hasn't been confirmed for london run, in fact the London run hasn't been confirmed yet

Has this never been used in america before? It's used in the uk all the time for tours etc

Let's face it, Frozen wouldn't go to the Nederlander anyway. It's going to want a big broadway house for both capacity and also staging

She is off both shows today

I'm surprised people have an issue with tranny being used but don't seem to have an issue with the gay fairy joke in finding neverland, again used for an outdated cheap laugh.

Musical theatre, considering how supportive it is of the gay community etc, does love to use stereotypes for cheap laughs in general.

 

I hope Luke Evans puts more effort into the role on screen than that clip. Sure his voice is good but there's not much characterisation or presence there so I'm not sure what you're getting so excited over.  It was just done for a laugh. 

Taron however pretty much knocked everyone else off the screen with his presence and charisma without even trying

I'd say if it's capitalising on anything it's the release of the big budget disney sequel due out soon and not a production at the national that most people haven't heard of

Kristen chenowith for on the 20th century

Andy Karl for On the 20th century

This was announced a little while ago, possibly even late last year. Rumour is it may not go to the palladium anymore.  Also the rumour is a panto will be in the palladium this xmas

Wouldn't surprise me if this sees the year out and singin in the rain moves in in early 2017

The show has a loyal hard core base of fans, and it was them that were always asking Cameron when it was coming back. The problem is, like the last west end Evita, it just didn't appeal to the wider theatre going audience even though it was supposedly the show 'most people want to.be revived)

That is pr spin. That article was written just after opening so would mean it would have paid back its investment in under a month. The advance was good and exceeded the budget so on the face of it it looks like you've made your money, but until performances begin you don't have money in the bank to pay back the original investment plus meet weekly running costs. So unless running costs were 0 it is highly unlikely it paid back its investment within a month.

Yes it did really, cameron expected it to last a lot longer but it started to struggle a bit within its first year after the initial rush had died down. I also think his comments about it being sold out for so far in advance backfired as people didn't think they'd get tickets. He was counting agency allocations which of course isn't money in the bank.

Michelle Dockery would be the ideal actress to open it in London. Considering The Sound of Music (probably the biggest name R&H show) couldn't survive in london without a name im not sure why they think this will sell with an unknown like Kelli. Especially when  The King and I as a show is done on tour often in the UK
