Great news about the tour, it will give the whole of the UK a chance to see one of Londons greatest shows.
I will say now that I spoke to the company manager last night and the show is going to sitting happily at the Shaftesbury for the next 18 months!
A two way winner for a great show!
The provinces are gonna lap this one up!

Apart from Cardiff and Southampton do we not what other venues Hairspray is going to and dates?

London rumours Include sharron d Clarke and peter k. More than a rumour is Gavin alex (wood) coming back to be corny.

Dunno about others, not keen if we get Chicago style short stints of names for edna.

London rumours for the cast from October are

Peter Kay = Edna
Belinda Carlisle = Velma
Sharon D Clark = Motormouth

re: Michael Ball is Edna in Cardiff?!

Sharon D Clarke would be absolutely amazing..
Would much prefer it if she did the tour though!.. then I may be tempted to go almost every night in Southampton!

Changing the subject, what is she up to at the moment, anyone know? x

re: Michael Ball is Edna in Cardiff?!

Gavin Alex coming back as Corny... I hadn't heard that!

benny123, Sharon D Clarke is currently staring in 'Once On This Island' and after that she'll go into rehearsals for Hairspray.

Gavin Alex's Spotlight page says he's playing Corny from October so I'm guessing it's official! He was on first time I saw the show and I thought he was excellent. Was actually quite disappointed when I saw Paul Manuel, the principal, at a later performance.

Peter Kay was actually amazing in the Producers
