Where is the stage door at the Arts Centre? Are there different ones for the different theatres. I always assumed there would be some sort of hidden car park for important people.... and performers.

HS would be a good show to stake out. I'll be there on Wednesday too.

The problem with the Arts Centre is that there are at least three doors through which actors can ~~escape~~ leave the theatre, the least commonly used of which (from my experience) is the labelled stage door. Quite a few seem to use the door near the bottom of the escalators, opposite the box office, and others take the lift straight up to street level.

Anyone else have alternate escape routes?

And wow, it's looking to be quite a party on the Wednesday! We'll have to make sure we find you and say hi, James.

Okay Bert so better have Tamsin on before HS is on...

He had Simon Burke on yesterday and they were talking about Take Flight for a min then about HS.

Bert was praising Tamsin through the roof - definitely need to do the transcript of that for my site.

Less than 3 weeks away now!

Tickets for High Society are on sale at ticketmaster - tm7advantage.ticketmaster7.com/cgi-bin16/DM/y/hcbQ0KZlFv0Ows0BLxq0AE

Based on the play `The Philadelphia Story` by Philip Barry. Also Based on the Turner Entertainment Co. Motion Picture `High Society`. With music and lyrics by Cole Porter and additional lyrics by Susan Birkenhead.

Starring Simon Burke (Chicago, Les Miserables) as C K Dexter Haven, Tamsin Carroll (Bye Bye Birdie) as Tracy Lord, Marty Fields (South Pacific) as Mike Connor and Christen O'Leary (Urinetown) as Liz Imbrie.

Tracy Lord, society darling and ecstatic bride-to-be, is about to marry the dullest man on earth, George Kittredge, when her despised first husband Dexter reappears on the eve of her wedding, at her family waterfront estate. He has sailed in on the True Love, the boat they sailed on their honeymoon cruise.

Two reporters from scandal magazine Spy, Mike Connor and Liz Imbrie, are rumoured to attend Tracy`s wedding masquerading as guests. The bride starts to guzzle champagne - a drink she`s sworn off at the insistence of her husband-to-be - and things begin to unravel in a hysterical fashion.

High Society is a glamorous, fun-filled evening of some of Cole Porter`s greatest hits. From the comedy of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?` and Well, Did You Evah?, to the romance of True Love, You're Sensational and standards like Its Alright with Me, I Love Paris, It Was Just One Of Those Things and Little One.

I don't think it's been decided yet. Hopefully we'll hear soon after HS is finished.

Edit: For HS news, we have a Dinah Lord, Rebecca Hetherington.

Since it's about 2.5 weeks before Carousel opens, and still the only name I've heard is David Campbell, I thought I'd better check to see if any of you have heard anything. It's driving me mad not knowing! There are new fliers in the Arts Centre for it, but they're basically palm-sized cards, with Annie Get Your Gun on the other side, and no more information than what we already know.

Aha, you beat me to it. I actually went down to the Arts Centre right after posting that, on my way to rehearsals, and saw that now there are proper fliers.

They mention David Campbell as Billy, Danielle Barnes as Julie, Anne Wood as Mrs Mullin, Carrie Barr, Terence Donovan, Melissa Langton, Adam Murphy and Derek Taylor.

And now for some exciting Annie Get Your Gun casting news (What, already? That's right!).

Frank Butler will be played by Scott Irwin
Buffalo Bill will be played by Terence Donovan

Now, let's see whether we can learn any of the others without having to wait for the fliers to come out.

I actually find out some of the casting, and then they go and actually announce it! So aside from Marina, Scott and Terence, in Annie Get Your Gun we have Michael Carman, Gary Down, Adam Murphy and Nicki Wendt.
