Catherine Tate is such inspired casting. The Oh Mary team continues to knock it out of the park on both sides of the pond.

Emma Thompson might be my dream British Mary. But I've always heard over the years that she has no interest in doing a run of a full production on stage (though other stars have also said that and changed their minds).

She wrote the book to the Nanny McPhee musical.

Saunders and French as Mary and Abe but you never know who is playing which until the show starts.

This feels like a perfect role for Nicola Coughlan

This makes me think they’re gonna record it. Seems to be the trend to bring back the original, do it out of NY and record it like Hadestown and Newsies.

The supporting cast is absolutely terrific, especially Scott Karim as Mary’s Husband. If this does get filmed, I’d be thrilled for them!
I hope we get to see Catherine Tate transfer to Broadway. She’s absolutely incredible in the role. Maybe stick her in with another name for safe measure, as she doesn’t have a huge following here.

Saw this last week in the UK.
Catherine was great and so funny in the role. I loved her growly voice at times. There were a couple of moments that I missed when I've seen other Mary's in the role, but overall a very fun evening.
One thing to note... Dino Fetscher in those pants. Holy cow, seeing that was worth the admission.

We thought the same thing. Let them eat cake indeed!

Re: Dawn French, she attended the show recently. Perhaps scoping the show out to see if she would be a good fit. Kim Cattrall also attended and she would be awesome as Mary’s Chaperone.

Dawn French is INCREDIBLE but she's 68 and Mary is an incredibly demanding, physically challenging role. I don't know if she could do 8 shows a week of crawling on that desk.
I would be genuinely shocked if Rob Madge is not being considered for a UK replacement.
