Any news regarding Me and My Girl casting at ENCORES this May?

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

They only just released cast info for GRAND HOTEL so I wouldn't expect any casting until the tail end of March or the start of April even.

I've got my ticket for Thursday, May 10th. Really looking forward to seeing the show. It's one of my all time favorites as I've been in various productions of the show over the years.

Somehow I feel Charle Stemp would be a knock-out in the lead.

Charlie Stemp would be perfect casting. I do believe, however, that he is contracted to Hello Dolly! in May. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. And yes, Warren Carlyle is the perfect choice to direct this show.

I think he would be perfect for the role, in 10 years. The role calls for a man not a boy. He is supposed to be set in his ways with a past not just starting out. And, if I remember right, he and Sally have been together for years. The original star was in his mid 40s when he played the part, Robert Lindsay was in his mid 30s when he started doing it in London. Plus, the part calls for a baritone and I think Mr Stemp is a tenor. I'm tired of baritone parts constantly being changed to tenor.

Now living in DC. I really have to change my name on the board.

Mr. Stemp seems more appropriate for a show like HALF A SIXPENCE.

I had pretty much zero desire to see this, but with that cast I could be convinced!

I'm considering flying in for one night just to see this show- I was hoping they'd cast Christian as Billy and now that it's happening I can't miss it!

The first performance is under way! I'm going Friday. I've avoided the clips they've released but am loving the production photos. Looking forward to hearing thoughts on tonight's show!

Hi all! I went to opening night of the show tonight and it was incredible!! Definitely needs a Broadway transfer... the cast completely knocked it out of the park!

CATSNYrevival said: "Where is the orchestra? I didn't see them in the pictures."

The orchestra is pretty much a part of the set- Staircases and platforms are built around them.

The Lambeth Wall got applause as soon as the first notes started, and rightfully so, it was the highlight of the entire night!

Maybe it was the production, but I saw this show at the Shaw Festival and found it absolutely dreadful. This cast does intrigue me though.
