You are quite sane... of course it was a joke! The man sounds like a dog with bronchitis.

Phew! I just needed to check - I thought for a moment I had gone deaf!

...and in fairness I think you are being a little harsh on the dog!!

It is Denise Van Outen and John Barrowman in London. Remember that both the Phantom and Christine are older roles in this show.

They are also doing a cast swap for both roles between New York and London after six months.

both hideous suggestions, I really hope this isn't true!  Still, if it is at least it's one I can cross off my list.

Ik couldn't be John. There was a rumour saying that he would be doing the new Mackintosh production of Barnum. Or has that plan bounced off already...?
Wouldn't know if Denise would be perfect, but I'm willing to gif her a chance.

One thing is certain: I will go and see it. Am dying to find out if it is going to be anywhere near part I...

I think it's been confirmed that John in Barnum isn't happening, although they were talking about it at one point, and John in Phantom 2 I don't think was ever really a possibility.

I did hear that John told fans at a recent convention that he has decided to focus more on TV than stage work, while it's available, because his partner prefers the more social hours (and likes being able to see him now and again!).

I believe the rumour that Denise van Outen will be involved has also been officially denied.

'Cos ALW's NEVER released a concept album and then opened it as a show with a different cast before, oh NO.
