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!

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.

If that’s the legit cast, then I’m ready.

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

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.

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.
