Sending love and support today to the many brilliant performers who would have been terrific in one of musical theatre’s iconic supporting roles on a No1 national tour but now won’t be….because somebody untrained from reality TV has been cast. “Whatever happened to class?” 💩

Jonathan Bailey as Richard II isn’t just great casting, it’s practically a license to print money and it might get some new audiences into Shakespeare. Well played, Bridge Theatre.

Why’s @MammaMiaMusical laying off one of it’s strongest ever West End casts? This team presumably aren’t being paid at the moment & will need some re-rehearsing to reopen, sure-but a whole new company’ll need rehearsing from scratch + brand new costumes, wigs etc. Makes no sense?

It may be an odd observation to make after watching him playing one of the biggest bastards in all of English literature, but you can just tell from the way he leads the company bows at the end of the Donmar Macbeth that David Tennant is just, like, a really really top bloke.

You’re unlikely to see a better @ChicagoOnStage cast than the current one. Get yourself to @phoenix_ldn to see @alexandramusic @JfeenaB @MrDuncanJames @MazzWoman @paulrider123 & @AlanBRichardson giving definitive perfs in these iconic roles. The show is in SENSATIONAL shape.

Wonderful to see the whole audience masked up at @moulinmusicaluk last night. You can can can still roar your approval through a face covering and, wow, this crowd surely did. 😘

There’s more passion & power in @Hair50UK than in most other rock musicals put together. @JonathanOBoyle ’s electrifying staging Lets The Sun Shine In with gusto, excitement & thrilling vocals. @JakeQuickenden makes a roaring, charismatic musical theatre debut.

And it’s the day of the #WOSAwards - very excited. I may have no voice whatsoever but I *do* have a ferociously positive attitude, a fairly nice outfit and a rock solid belief that the public have made all (ok, most) of the right choices. 🍾🤞👍🏾

Going to the theatre five times this week. Feels a bit like old times, except that I am now scrambling to find five masks that coordinate with what I’m planning to wear....
