Perhaps she is holding out (as well as doing the X Factor gig) for London's Dreamgirls and is ditching ALW?

And in terms of casting young- look at the infants ALW now casts as the Phantom.  He just chases pretty young things, regardless of the dramatic sense.
"

As good as she would be in Dreamgirls, she should not be even considered as the parts cannot really be blind-cast and she is not even partially African-American.

I would love to hear Kate Shindle's take on "Memory"

If I'm not mistaken, that's one of Demeter's lines in the show.

But to post that... JUST when we found out that Nicole Sherzingier (DONT KNOW TO SPELL HER LAST NAME - SORRY) ... Too coincidental, huh?

SORRY... I JUST LOVE CATS. IT'S MY SECOND FAVORITE MUSICAL AFTER HEDWIG. I wonder who will play my namesake. Meow...

Scherzinger. It autofills in Google if you need to ever check.

And no, not really. Or maybe. This is the followup.

I don't want to even Google her. She's too basic...

This made me laugh out loud - Andrew Lloyd Webber said that Nicole "makes me look like an absolute twot".   Could someone please make t-shirts.

What part made you laugh more, that he said it or that BWW spelled "twat" as "twot"?

"

The thing that just made me laugh the most is that it said ****cat dolls when I talked about the band the Pu$$ycat dolls and didn't use dollar signs. Yet they post the word twat in an article.

That Sir Andrew said it (and it was spelled twot in the article.   Is that the British version?)

Poor Andrew Lloyd Webber.  He just got dumped by Nicole Scherzinger.  It's late in coming, but karma's a bitch...is it not?  Finally, he gets a taste of what he did to others.

 


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I don't think he's that invested-no pun intended. He's not producing this production in the US. 

You can download the interview from the Economist website. He really mentions it as a matter of fact and does not come across as cross as the articles make him to be.
