Carrie didnt play in London, it was on in Stratford-Upon-Avon and it also got terrible reviews there 

Coming the other way, 2 shows that lasted less than 2 months in the West End, Spring Awakening and The Drowsy Chaperone. Not even Elaine Page couldn't sell tickets for that. I dont recall it having much publicity before it opened.

Certain people on here really should apologise for the nasty, bitter  things they said in the 'what's next for the St. James' thread, regarding this coming to Broadway.

 

 

"The whole production feels like watching an Encores! concert that did a bump of coke and went clubbing"

My favourite quote from the whatsonstage review.

CoffeeBreak said: "Amber Riley couldn’t hack it in London. Marisha Wallace got her start in London because they flew her over - to take over."

Its not that she couldn't hack it. Amber Riley got pneumonia and was out for a while. Marisha came in and alternated the role with someone else until Amber came back, though she did go down from 7 to 5 performances a week. Amber was great in the role. 

 

I've been waiting years for a major production of The Secret Garden and when one comes along,  its an actor/muso. Ugh. 

I hope he at least goes back to the original Broadway script, not the RSC/UK version and definitely not the show that played a few years back in LA. 

This show would be perfect for Regents Park Open Air Theatre.

I just watched an interview with Corbin Bleu and he said that one of his dream roles would be to play Frank in  Rocky Horror. H's got the chops and has name recognition. Not a terrible choice to play the role.

I stand corrcted (said the man in the orthopedic shoe)

I guess was wrong about there being a Dorothy doll.

Though i think its a very odd decision, given that its not her story and the likeness is very similar to the original for WB Studios not to be involved.

Sneak peak of Mattel’s dolls for Wicked: For Good includes a Dorothy choice. A very interestingchoice and hint that we will see her face in the film."

There is no Dorothy doll for Wicked: For Good.  that image says 'as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz'

She is a non speaking part in the film.

She better off tryin' to get SPIDER WOMAN off the ground."

Nicole has said recently in interviews that she would be interested in Spider Woman

Sydney was in 1990, 2 years after Broadway and was a mix of London, Broadway and some new elements. It's such a confusing mess to watch, especially if you're only familiar with later versions.

Another vote for the 2disc 2001 Danish Tour. I think the entire cast are excellent.

Zubin Varla and his signature cracks is so good.

At least Diego has the luxury of being inside.

The poor guy at the Open Air Theatre had to lay there in his underwear, covered in paint, cold, wet and quite often in the rain.
