Wow it’s a good few years since this was on but it was beautiful. The casting was perfect and it was all very nostalgic and evocative. Loved it. Don’t know why they ceased doing the live musicals

J’adore Patti. Goddess. Probably one of the last true gay divas.

I don’t know if Gaga could pull this role off, after seeing Sheridan Smith numerous times it’s such a physical demanding role and I know Gaga has had trouble with Fibromyalgia I believe so a role like this could be tough on her.

Typical patriarchal mysgonistic gay community trying to remove women’s voices and replace them with men. #maleprivlege #womenrolesmatter #letwomenbeheard. Why is it that men always get the good roles like Fiyero in Wicked and women get nothing but Dolly Dot ClaireZ Rose Sally Lovett Elphaba Spiderwoman Anna Desiree Diana Ann

Glenn is giving a Tony award worthy performance that is fiery and passionate. Her final lines leading up to “I had a daughter” were really powerful.
As for the play I appreciated that it took a lighter approach. There was less of Joan&rsquo

FWIW, sausage and bacon are both really common American breakfast foods. I think it's probably just a coincidence of where you went that those weren't choices."
Hi Judy, sorry I meant we just have very different
Wow Vicky Vox is Little Shop and now Michelle Visage in Jamie. Great to see London theatre opening up to them.
I think the casting of Michelle could bolster a broadway transfer. The Drag Race fans would give it a good run. Bianca has sold out huge theatres in UK Ireland and across Europe the last few months.
I'd love to see Vicky move into Jamie too, Vicky would be amazing as Loco Chanelle.

I really enjoyed HIR by Taylor Mac and with these two artists in what sounds like a surreal comedy sound fabulous. I will be trying to fly over for this.
BenjaminNicholas2 said: "The current production at Regents Park in London is truly the production that should transfer.
It's brilliant. Unlike any other version of this show I've seen."
I loved the Regents Park reinvention. Vicky Vox was outstanding and I hope it transfers to the West End but I would recast the lead two. Loved the trio of girls the sound was amazing.

For this though, I would have said stunt

Who the hell said Patti LuPone stunt casting? She made her career in theatre.
Stunt casting is Cuba Gooding in Chicago. Prepare yourselves for his imminent transfer. Though Broadway Chicago shook me to the core when I caught Nene Leaks as Mamma Morton I nearly cried.
Stunt casting is Andrew Garfield.
Leona Lewis is stunt casting.
Here in the UK stunt casting is very prevalent in touring shows, soap stars or reality tv contestants.
