Right then folks this is not so much about the show and changes but my thoughts on the new cast.
Katie Brayben as Sophie - I really enjoyed her performance,then i guess she is used to the role after touring. Laura Selwood as Lisa - Another good performance and she has a really good stage presence.Having to follow my fav lady Tanya was always going to be hard to win me over. Paul Christopher as Sky - Very good esp as he is the understudy the partnership with Katie worked really well. Giovanni Spano as Pepper - This was always going to be a hard job no matter who took over the role.Having to follow Ben is bloody nigh impossible.On first impressions Giovanni has some good dance moves but there is no feeling or expression in his acting. Paul Ryan as Harry - Really enjoyed Paul and i loved his "Head Banger" impression def pick of the bunch from the new "Dads". Richard Laing as Sam - Fits the character well and is very like Iain in many of his mannerisms. Andrew Hall as Bill - Without a doubt the weak link of the 3 Dads,the Aussie accent is pretty naff and considering how long Andrew has been in the business i was hugely dissappointed. Matt as Eddie - Great fun the guy is a total lunatic as ever.
Nancy was on as Ali and perfect timing Gemma Andrews was on for Leanne. As for the overall script changes and "stuff" for those of you yet to see the revamp i think you'll enjoy it.

Great review Ian. Agree with you about Giovanni, he just didn't seem to gel very well with anyone he's on stage with really. And about Andrew as Bill I thought him pretty weak and bland to be honest! Other than that am pretty much on the same wavelength as you are Whe are you going next?
