Evidently you’ve got a vendetta against that girl. Reviews aren’t defined by either avenger or a rave. I said she got better than average; which she did.
And weak? While I’m the minority of people thinking she shouldn’t be playing that role I’ll still be the first to say she sings the hell out of it. There’s nothing weak about it - that girl has some insane vocal strength. You can choose to disagree but I’m not offering an opinion I’m stating a fact.
Amber has definitely gotten better than average reviews. The role is pretty major for her first go and she a great 11 o'clock number that shows she's vocally capable.
Let's not forget that despite her career choices she's still just as trained as every member of that cast. Besides, it's Pretty Woman not Evita.... she doesn't need to be Meryl Streep.
I'm not exactly her biggest fan but I feel like she'd be as good a choice as anybody else. Sh
In London's most recent revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Adelphi Theatre there was a female member of the ensemble who was first understudy for Benjamin.

London and New York are hardly worlds away. It’s very possible she came back for a day or two
Stephanie has extended anyway so we’ll never know.

I just read back what I wrote and I can't even make head nor tails of it. Sorry about that; I'm at work so my attention is on about 100 different things.
I hope she's not a red herring. She's an incredible talent and would make a fantastic Jenna. I can't imagine she's only being used for promotional considering how perfect she'd be for the role.

Maybe she's just being used as a model for the show? Although if that's the case, I don't understand why they wouldn't use Stephanie Torns...I'm so confused!"
Definitely not. I think someone messed by publishing that banner when they did. I doubt they'd use a young, UK star who has a r
I've always looked at MISS SAIGON with a realistic eye. No doubt Kim and Chris' love was very real and very raw at the time. Like someone mentioned before, people fall in love in the worst kind of circumstances. You can love two different people for very different reasons and the person you end up marrying is rarely the person you'd consider your soulmate.
I'd compare Kim and Chris' love to June and Nick's love in HANDMAIDS TALE. June has a husband in Cana
I'll be in the minority here but I'm not really interested in the casting of Elphaba and Glinda. Whether they go down the celebrity route or the unknown route I have a feeling it won't be particularly inspirational.
It's the casting of the supporting characters that excites me more!
Meryl as Morrible would be a decent, if not too obviously, choice. I'd personally love to see Helen Mirren, Julie Walters or Frances De La Tour in the role.

So on the topic of Company - a friend of mine told me that one of his friends told him that Company is being negotiated to be filmed for Netflix. Nothing is official yet apparently. They were going to broadcast the production into cinemas but the deal fell through and now Netflix have jumped in the ring. Not sure how true this is. I don’t know the person who the information comes from personally but if it were true I’d absolutely sob with gratitude. We’ll just have to wait and see if a
A concert version? For 16 weeks?!? I can't imagine they'll be selling those performances out."
They already have.

If its going to inspire by Michael Jacksons life how are they going to address his changing skin colour? Seems in bad taste to have a black actor and then a white actor later on in the show?

Well The Swan Princess doesn’t really need the ‘name recognition’ considering it could easily be billed as SWAN LAKE; THE MUSICAL which would instantly making it far more interesting. I’m surprised Swan Lake hasn’t been adapted as a musical already .
