Good to see Ian is in it. I find him to be a fantastic performer

“The staff are really exited too. Everyone’s giving me a little, doing a little that, when I walk past in the corridor, eyebrow raise thing, when usually they look away.”

I was going to quote the URL of the production company - but I see the only cast members named there are the 2 leads!

Could try emailing: mail@ukproductions.co.uk

I emailed them once to ask who was in the tour of Carousel with Sam Kane and was told that the show was cast and that I probably wouldnt recognise any of them! So much of a promise of an 'all star cast' on the leaflet! A very lazy company!

Aki Omesabi

There are a few more as well.

A very stupid company, if they didn't tell you who was in the cast (as you seem to be implying). When their earlier tour of Carousel went out in 2000 the sole reason I went to see it was because of the casting of two of those people the public "probably wouldn't recognise". You'd think professional producers would understand that accustomed theatregoers pay attention to the entire company, not just the semi-famous name.
In my opinion anyone interested in improving himself should not rule out becoming pure energy.

They got a 'nice' email back telling them not to make assumptions!! They then replied with a cast list! They didnt reply at all a few years later when I asked about the casting of one of their other tours though! They seem a bit better at updating their site with cast lists - but not in the case of South Pacific it seems!

Earlier this year (or thereabouts), I emailed mail@ukproductions.co.uk asking re Cast of 42nd Street,
& I was delighted to receive a very substantial - probably FULL - Cast list.

Most of my Theatregoing is because of who's in the Cast
(and I don't mean people who soap-watchers might recognise from tv).

Like, I imagine, many afficionados on here, I like to follow the careers of many young performers -
even some who've quite recently graduated from Drama School.

In MY case, especially graduates of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama....

Same here. So far this year I've made only one trip to the theatre that wasn't connected with the casting of a show. All the other visits were cast-related, and not a single one was because of a "name".

There are about ten people whose presence in a show means I will see it, and probably somewhere in the region of a couple of hundred who interest me enough that I'll try to see their work if I get the chance. None of the first group are well known to the general public, and even though the larger group contains a couple of people who can justify star billing they're still the sort of people who'd prompt a "who?" from TV audiences.
