I say this with a full, FULL chest… SHUT THE FUCK UP. You miss his first two lines because the audience won’t shut up. I can’t stand it. It’s my biggest bug bear. I’m still bitter about missing Jessie Mueller say “Sugar, Butter, Flour” in 2016 because people wouldn’t shut it.
RIGHT. Theatres. Do announcements, print inserts or have a cast board/several that are big enough to read when someone is on for their cover. It’s a huge personal achievement, & it’s just basic respect. Actors seeing other actors tagged on socials for their work is disheartening
Just read a review:
“... who may not have as many West End credits as... holds the show together with a near Herculean-power”
YOU CANNOT MEASURE SOMEONE’S TALENT BY THE AMOUNT OF WEST END CREDITS THEY HAVE.
It just perpetuates this damaging idea of a hierarchy in theatre
Lads, do you not think it’s MAD that a Disney ensemble musical theatre number has topped the singles charts? 😂 who knew bitchez be loving exposition and narrative development with harmonised vocal layering 😂💜
Apologies, but:
HOW ARE SHOWS FUCKING CANCELLING AND FUCKING PAUSING AND FUCKING PUSHING BACK PRODUCTION WHEN FUCKING ASCOT, FUCKING EUROS AND FUCKING WIMBLEDON ARE ALLOWED TO BE CROWDED AND THAT’S FINE!?!?
I don’t know why I’m surprised I’m just fucking angry. Breathe.
I mean, ALL I want is a designated Disney West End Theatre that just runs the entire Disney Theatrical catalogue in a seasonal and constantly rotational basis. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK?!
In my opinion all the Wicked film leaks have 10/10 been orchestrated to happen. So people talk and get hyped, and my darlings it’s worked. Especially considering there was uncertainty about Ari singing that soprano line, and oh…there she is, conveniently smashing it… 😏
IT IS NOT GIMMICK CASTING TO CAST TRANS WOMEN IN FEMALE ROLES BECAUSE TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN FFS. This take is dangerous, wildly offensive, regressive and woefully disappointing 😔 I will always stand with the trans community 🏳️⚧️
TEAM REMEMBER THIS WEEK WHEN
@Isaac_Hesketh
A LEGENDARY NON-BINARY TALENT (and GOSSIP GALxoxo) PLAYED A “TRADITIONALLY” CIS LEADING ROLE AND THEIR GENDER HAD FUCK ALL TO DO WITH IT AND THEY SLAYED IT BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE THEY JUST PLAYED A HUMAN AS A HUMAN?! 🏳️⚧️
I feel sorry for anyone who never saw the 07-09ish period of WICKED. The trifecta of

I hate it when people say ���Don’t worry, you’ll get there” like super cute, dismiss my entire career because it doesn’t equate to your idea of what success in the theatre is 🙄
Single handedly starting the campaign for ‘The Little Mermaid’ to go into Drury Lane. “She’s In Love” deserves to be heard by 2000 people 8 times a week.
So
@altontowers
in no partic order
- Retheme Galactica, Phalanx vibezz
- Retheme Mutiny Bay into a Beornan settlement
- Really give the Rapids the TLC they deserve. Wana be wet.
- Flat rides for X Sector
- Retheme Rita into a wraith ride and give it a new name
GIVE ME THEME
Had an audition on Monday, dance round first, Duncan’s WORST nightmare. Especially considering the standard of choreo required, but I had a BLAST. Didn’t get a recall but casting director feedback, “it was FULL ON and Duncan worked so hard” and that my friends is a WIN 🙌🏻💜😍
This “new edition” production of ‘NEWSIES’ coming to London this year, imagine if they just went totally left filed and made it like Actor-Muso, I’d die 😂
I’m broke AF, but I’ve fully decided I’m putting money aside each week until theatres are back open. Then I’m just going to go down to London, binge an 8 show week, remember what it was like to be the stagey kid that did that. To be able to love what I love again 💜
@PabloSanCap
I agree that the music is written to be sung. However, my point is that a lot of people care too much about how someone belts a song or their tone or how high they opt up etc. the story is sacrificed for this. Prime example of selling a song is Judi Dench and ‘Send in the Clowns’
In over 6yrs of FOH ushering, I can confirm, I’ve never once let a member of public feel like a nuisance for being late, however, they like to make me feel like a nuisance for doing my job… In fact pretty much all have insulted me. Tix say the start time, not “doors at”.
If people arrive late to a theatre show, let them in and don't make them feel like they are being a nuisance.
Performers/directors/whoever is deciding "latecomer policy", don't be precious. If your show can't cope with some people walking in a bit late then make it so it can.
Producers of large-scale UK tours would be expected to source and provide accommodation to performers and stage management under new

proposals. However, producers have warned that the move could make touring "unviable"
Well this sexy little thing rocked up this morning. I’m glad it did. I’ve been struggling with where I belong in this industry the past few weeks. But this. This is a reminder that I’m actually a rockstar. Bring it on.
Sadly,

has yet to realise that the Union Jack 🇬🇧 mask he is wearing to cross the floor to Labour, is not welcome on that side of the house. 👋
Two years ago, yesterday I had my last in person audition before lockdown. Smashed it hard, was thrilled, but then life happened and the production got put on hold, and finally after two years, I got no this week via casting announcement 💀😂 howling.
World meet Barney, Barney meet world 🥰

You know what I think? Seeing as
@WickedUK
is based in Oz (a mythical land whose accent is unknown) why can’t everyone have their own accent? Imagine that, it’s a land that’s a melting point of cultures, let that pot overflow with the beauty of our regional accents I say!
Watch the reaction from Rosie Duffield and Joanna Cherry to an MP speaking the current reality for many trans people, who are enduring unbelievable stress because of this Gov and Brit Media. They have not an ounce of humanity for trans people
#EqualityAct
I’m so fucking angry about that video of Sutton. It’s not funny, it’s obscenely ignorant, and offensive, and unacceptable, and racist. Black culture is to be celebrated, not fucking mocked. Be better.
AND THEN DANIELA SAID TIFFANY WAS UPSET BECAUSE ANGIE HAD TOLD HER DAVID WAS DEAD BUT IT TURNED OUT ANGIE WASN’T TALKING ABOUT DAVID SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HER EX HUSBAND DAVID
12 years ago I was in Ayia Napa being a Christina Aguilera tribute act for a company that turned out to be a money laundering operation for the Cypriot mafia. Anyway, one day I couldn't afford to eat and I just ate a full jar of Nutella I'd bought the week before.
First ever casting assistant gig ✅ with a dream team and a place rang means so much to me! Pumped to be casting with

Hi
@easyJet
I know people are allowed their opinions, but two of your crew members loudly gossiping and making intolerant biphobic comments behind me in the galley on the EZY1927 MAN>CDG is not really how I wanted to start my holiday.
I would say that I think you’re all aware by now of how I feel about
@ComeFromAwayUK
, so after seeing it tonight I will just say this: I have NEVER seen an entire U.K. audience raise to their feet THAT quickly to applaud a piece of theatre. That says it all really.

Honestly, the way people just comment on “Defying Gravity” YouTube videos with things like “a few more performances and she’ll be great, good start” or “I think she did amazingly for a first timer”. Sorry WHAT?! WHO ARE YOU?! You 12yr old vocal coach 😂
I feel so unbelievably lucky to have a job atm, I don’t think people who don’t act realise how terrifying it is at the moment. It’s simply the worst game of Russian Roulette. Those who lose jobs are losing pay, they’re losing survival. It’s tough AF. I love you all 💜
Yo, where are my amazing male identifying bisexual actors at? It’s lockdown 3.0 so I’m obviously planning a zoom read-through and have a role left to fill. Let’s have people telling their stories 💜 🙂👌🏻
