She was terrific in Boeing Boeing and calendar girls it's her discipline that's a worry

Ellison has no presence on stage at all. The worst Roxie I ever saw.
No stage presence and playing Lina Lamont? Should be interesting - everyone do go see it within the next three weeks if possible!!

And the voice too. I saw her as 'Paulette' in Legally Blonde and she was possibly the weakest Paulette I've seen live. Lina requires a performer who's able to speak AND sing in THAT voice for the whole show, eight times a week. Not an easy job. She does look the part though, I'll give her that.

Also am I wrong or is Peter Forbes, currently playing Roscoe Dexter, taking over from Robert Powell as RF Simpson?

Not too busy. I'd say get there by 9:15 at the latest and you should definitely be able to get a ticket!

Where did you read this? I'm guessing if it does close, it'll be July 2013 (next cast change). But I'm still finding it surprising, because as far as I know, ticket sales have been extremely good and the show doesn't even do any discounts!
