Kookaburra is producing Webber's "Tell Me On A Sunday" later this year. The production will star Jolene Anderson who claim to fame is winning "It Takes Two" a year or so ago and being a part of the Seven Network Drama "All Saints".

That poster is very 'Sex and the City'-ish.
S&D/TMOAS is one of my least favorite ALW shows (other then 'Unexpected Song' which is funnily one of my favorite individual ALW tunes).
Saying that Anderson I think does have that presence needed to carry off a show (Much more then Denise Van Ohshutupnow).
Still I just forked over alot of mula for The Production Companies season of shows, thus I will not be flying up to Sydney (this time at the very least - I have discovered I don't exactly need much of an excuse in terms of shows to fly up to Sydney).
Urban after watching that clip, i must admit iam in two minds over this and think it is going to be one of those shows that will work a treat or be a nightmare. Don't forget you can see this at Her Maj in Sept.

True, true, but as said, this isn't exactly a show I care to pay money for either (freebies aside).
Now if they revive 'Starlight Express' I will be there!
I actually like Denise Van Outen....
I think it would be cool if we could do a gay version of Tell me on a Sunay with John Barrowman... THAT would rock my socks.

This does NOT sell this show. It makes it look like complete cheese.
She's gorgeous, though.
Urban, Starlight Express is due to play NZ end of this/early next year then tour Australia. The sets from the current English tour are to be shipped over. Thats the rumour!
But back to Tell Me, the one thing that worries me about this, is can she sing it?
I have to say, TELL ME has taken the place of ASPECTS OF LOVE as my least-favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber show.
At least ASPECTS had very good music. TELL ME has nothing (I'm not even a fan of 'Unexpected' or 'Tell Me On a Sunday', which I think are sub-Webber).
(although 'Nothing Like You've Ever Known' is somewhat pretty)
