So the vibrant, young energetic show is back on the road, any new who is in the show?

Finals are this week

The hardest profession in the world, hard work.....

One of the hardest shows to pull off me things would be more appropriate... I'm holding out for a "No names" cast so as to let a truly young and energetic cast get to grips with the show, although I fear some minor celeb will get in their somewhere.

Hey ho, its another show out on the road and for that we must be grateful. Best of luck to those at the finals this week!

Rumour has it a nancy is to star in the show

No Ian H Watkins is in Chitty

WHO?

Danielle Cato is Iris

To be fair they need the West End casst to be in it, some good dancers in it like Hannah Job, Kevin Maguire, Sean Selby, Fem Beling.Oh and George Maguire as Joe Vegas, was such a great cast last year.

Shame the tour cast were better than the west end cast. The only two in the west end cast I actually liked and that was Fem Belling and Natalie Hope.

I don't think all the cast have been confirmed yet - a friend of mine just had a recall for one of the roles.
I agree Natalie Hope was great in the West End cast.

Ermmmmmmmm, i do not think Natalie Hope was that great, the night i came she fell flat on her face in one of the dances. was funny though,

My favourite cast was the Victoria Palace closing cast before it transfered to the Cambridge with Nicola Dawn as Serena and Mazz Murray as Mabel. The final performances was one of the most hilarious nights I've spent in the theatre.

Fame has an amazing track record of finding the young, unknown actors and giving them the boost into the professional world. So many great performers, big names and excellent ensemble members, have been part of Fame over the years.

The first time I saw Julie Atherton was when she played Serena at the Edinburgh Playhouse nearly five years ago. She's certainly gone a long way since then.

Ditto-ed

Did anyonesee Lucy Williamson play Carmen? Phenomenal! Any news on who's Carmen for this tour?

I know who's been offered Carmen for this tour, she hasnt confirmed shes going to take it yet. I hope she does, shes Awesome!!

So........ who is it?

a guy called dominic Daniel's has been cast as tyrone, he was in wedding singer and now hairspray, hell be fantastic

A guy called Spin is playing Tyrone

spin = dominic Daniel... same person ....it's like a stage / nick name!

Hmmm so Dom at a guess got offered a year contract with Hairspray, and is now leaving to do Fame?!?

Anyway saw Dom in Wedding Singer - and I can't imagen him as Tyrone....poss 1st cover hmmmmmmm - just my personal opinion....

I hear Karen Bruce is asking her West end Cast to come in to and cover parts

Maybe Hairspray didnt ask him to stay on

He's a young guy who's just graduated (from GSA I think?) I just worked on a concert that he was in. Think he'll be perfect for this part -- and he seems like a lovely fella!

dom was initially brought into hairspray on a short contract with option to do the next contract but got fame so is going . .He's wicked in hs . Saw him last week. .Also hairspray and fame are both stage entertainment. :-)

Noooooooooooooooooo you don't say?

Clever!!!! i love a witty gimp just like the next fool.

my point being it wasn't that he wasn't asked to stay on, he's simply moved to another stage ent production.

If you're only on here to make stupid, unhelpful, moderately sarcastic (i won't credit you with the idea you have the brains to truly be sarcastic and witty).. please, if this is the case.. Don't post!

moderator?x

oh unnamed guest - YOU know you meant "Stage Entertainment" - as in, naming the company.

Your post read as "stage entertainment"- as in, a form of entertainment that is staged. Although I am quite familiar with the company name and some of their productions, I had no idea you were referring to the producers. Perhaps you should consider how your posts will read, and include some element of disambiguation.

Im loving the fact that FAME IS BACK, what is theatre without a show like FAME xx

We've got a show LIKE Fame - Footloose! And Britannia High starting on TV....

Tho I actually agree, Fame is such a good intro to theatre for star-struck kids! And it's fun, and spectacular dance. As long as it has a strong cast, and it usually does.

wel it has matthew wh was schlomo last year in britania high. i so hope some of the cast from the last show are in it xx

Tommy Sherlock is playing Nick

SPIN was cool cause he smiles tones.... loved it in HS. He has so much energy.saw it Sat.
He also runs his own dance company TKSPIN.. i am very exited to see what new energy he brings to the FAME legacy

Does anyone know if anyone from the west end cast will be on the tour

Danielle Cato and Sean Selby from the west end cast will be joining the Tour

i hear that the choreography in the Tour is going to be the same as the west end show version.
Not too sure that will be great but i know some of the people n the show
they will be amazing

Well what was you expecting the choreography to be, completly different cause its the tour, if any show goes on tour the whole chorepgraphy doesnt change, i mean dnt get me wrong theres some ajustments to to fit the scale, but COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For many shows the choreography does change. In a few cases some specific choreography is so integral a part of the show that a production is expected to reproduce it as a condition of the licence, but for others the production will bring in a choreographer to create the dance from scratch.

Ok so im not being funnny but im a dance captain thats worked on alot of shows which means rehearsing cast changes or tour casts or west end cast, like i said a few changes our made yes, alot of shows does not get a new choreographer in to change everything, CHICAGO,FAME,WE WILL ROCK YOU,CABERET,EVITA ETCall these shows and many more will remain the same for example WE WILL ROCK YOU IN LONDON AND GERMANY SAME CHOREOGRAPHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Production companies does not have the time to keep changing stuff let alone the money, also for example, choreographers like Arlene and Karen, Anthony and steven wont be asked to do shoes and wont accept if thety cant keep rights of the choreography

What I meant was, the choreography only remains the same if it's basically the same production. Different productions have different choreography, just as they have different directors. The current tour of Evita, for example, has completely different choreography from the London production of two years ago. I've known of cases where a show has wanted to reproduce the choreography of an earlier production and has been forbidden from doing so.

In the case of shows like Fame or Chicago the tour is/was essentially a reproduction of the West End show so the choreography is obviously going to be the same, but your claim was "if any show goes on tour the whole choreography doesn't change" [emphasis mine], and in the general case that's not true.

Ok Sorry!!!!!!!

I think Scott Maurice from Never Forget may have got a part, but its not been confirmed yet

Im so there

Oh no !
Mind you, won't be long before his knees give out anyway lol
