Does anyone have any updates as to whether Ruthie has gone on at all?

She hasn't been on yet, I think she's not even in London.

Part of the confusion is that the theatre are not explicit about who is on. Or at least they weren’t. They don’t have a printed board etc or slips in a program. So I think some people have been confused about whether she has gone on or not. But my understanding is there is no good evidence to believe she actually has been on.

I saw that at least on one occasion, there was a framed print at the box office showing that Naoko was on + the name of the kid who played Louis. When I last saw it, they only had an announcement on latter. Easy to miss if you are not collecting tickets.

Kelli O'Hara just gets better and better, doesn't she?

Per Ashley Park’s instagram, Miles will have her first performance this evening.

Now this is inspiring. I hope it all goes well for her tonight. Must take a lot of courage to do this... She is a treasure.

I can't be the only one who thinks that the producers did an atrocious job handling this situation, right? There was no clarity about whether Miles was actually coming back, leading many critics to incorrectly report that they saw her, and leaving Naoko Mori without the true credit she deserved. I understand the producers didn't want to tell Miles not to do the show, but couldn't they have...been a little clearer about the fact that she has not been in the show yet?

But I guess no one cares about accurate reporting anywhere anymore.

Ashley’s Instagram post has now been deleted! I guess Ruthie did not go on after all? Anyone know?

Poor Ruthie can’t catch a break from social media/press...

Or she did and they didn't want an alumna breaking the news?

BWW says she did, and cited several IG posts from what appear to be audience members.

She did go on per several tweets talking about how great she was in the part.  I have no idea why Ashley would delete it besides horrible people making negative comments.  That is all I can think of since it was not a secret she was going on.

I see the Lincoln Centre King and I is going out on tour around the UK and Ireland. 

I wonder who they'll cast! They say star casting but that means something very different in the UK than it does in USA. 

Personally, I would love to see Ruthie Henshall or Joanna Riding as Anna. They are a good decade older than O'Hara which wouldn't bother me but you know casting directors. 

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
