I added some extra roles to involve more students.

The kids just can't wait.

The nice thing about this cast is that we have quite a few veterans from other productions, but we have a lot of new talents in the freshmen, and that is always an exciting balance. I'm very excited about the talent in the new freshmen. I was thrilled to see so many (freshmen) trying out.

The cast is absolutely up to the challenge. I feel that I have a very strong cast.

I found it too upsetting to walk through Chinatown afterwards in case there was any recognition. It is not often you have a West End star stolen.

I think in black.
