This will be the first show on my trip next month. What a great way to kick off some West End shows. I'm also seeing Guys and Dolls, Dylan... you've got my hyped for both shows now!

Awe, that’s good! Thanks!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

For anyone who has seen the production in London - is there a better side of the stage to view the production from? There is the side with the additional upper circle and then the side with just the dress circle.

Get a seat on the side of the venue that was not built for this production, which is the side with the Upper Circle. A large portion of the production is staged towards that side of the theatre despite being in the round.

Isn't that website notorious for doing exactly this and always being wrong? In particular that Cliff casting seems to go against the director's pretty clear intention so that might be a giveaway that is just made up.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Why would John McCrea want to be downgraded to Cliff when he has played the Emcee in the production??

This is not the cast. Those are not the dates.

Adrienne would kill it. But, to me, Sally's naivete and lack of care come across much stronger and work better if she is white and it is her white privilege that affords her the ability to be naive and not to care. I think especially with the choice to make Cliff Black in this production, there is a strong contrast implied where the color of his skin makes it so he does not have the luxury of just standing by while she does.
I don't know if any of this has really been thought out by the creative team or if it's just my read. But, to the best of my knowledge, every Sally in this production has been white and every Cliff Black.

Between these three I would definitely be most interested in Michaela (though I don't know Cristin so not sure how much of a pull she is), between her age skewing younger and how much of a buzz she's generated for her performance as Lucille.

Cristin would be the PERFECT Sally for this revival.
Well, I'll be. That bird really did it.

I know Micaela and Adrienne would be exceptional, but Cristin returning to Broadway as Sally Bowles would be magical!

None of these people seem interesting in the way of a Jessie Buckley or Aimee Lou Wood and their inherently transgressive energies. And we've gone over Buckley not being that known of a name here, but I thought they would aim for at least not-quite-so-unbalanced name recognition.

I think the staging of I Don't Care Much places a very clear burden of choice on Sally, and with more of a contempt for her choices than other characters (excluding Emcee obv.) and they could restage that, but otherwise they would be undermining it without a white woman in the role.

I would have thought they would want a British or Irish woman to play Sally Bowls

From what I have heard, one of those names is a lock.

Eddie Redmayne of course!
