I know, I said I was going to write this every day, but I find that perhaps that was a little ambitious and perhaps I should have said something like making sure I update at least once a week, seems a little more realistic for me!
So Friday I had auditions and an Interview, still waiting to hear back from two of them, but I loved the experience once more, was knackered. My own fault seeing as I found I didn't actually sleep the night before.
Yesterday I had Nikki's funeral which was nice, I can't exactly say it was lovely seeing as she was 21 and it shouldn't have been happening for AT LEAST another eighty or so years.
Most shocking news to hear was that Susan McFadden, currently lead in the West End hit Musical Legally Blonde as Elle Woods is not top of the bill. It seems that the producers are wanting Denise Van Outen's 'big name' to bring in the crowds. Seems some what disrespectful though, unless they were worried to loose Denise prematurely if she wasn't down as top of the bill.
Sad thing is, it isn't Paulette's story, it is Elle's and for that reason it is a disgrace that they should put a supporting actress at the top, simply because Susan has only just got to the top! Working on how the West End currently seems to be working, does that mean that there is a chance Danielle Hope won't be top of the bill for "The Wizard of Oz"? I think not.
With Denise leaving in April, all eyes are waiting to see who is to replace her as bubbly hairdresser Paulette in the musical, though many fans angered by Susan being knocked off of the top spot speculate, and probably correctly so that it'll be another 'big name' and someone else to top the bill.
As I tweeted last night "I think the West End needs to remember that talent doesn't come from the name. You remember the name because of the talent."
Whatever next, "Paulette the Musical"?
