Re: Joanna Riding
It will be so nice to have Jo back as Mrs Wilkinson. She is my personal favourite in the role...........

I've only ever seen Kate and Gillian in the part so it's going to take some getting used to!

Re: Joanna Riding
Same, It's gonna be odd not seeing Kate in the role. She's my favourite Mrs Wilkinson and has certainly deserved being full time Mrs W for the last few monthsbubsycm wrote:I've only ever seen Kate and Gillian in the part so it's going to take some getting used to!

Re: Joanna Riding
How many performances did she do before she went on leave?

Re: Joanna Riding
Not exactly sure how many performances she did - she was the principal Mrs Wilkinson from 1st December to 23rd December, so the maximum number she could have done was 26: as its standard practice for the alternate to do 1 show a week, that would knock her back to 23. She might have done even less than than, given her pregnancy.ERinVA wrote:How many performances did she do before she went on leave?
Absolutely. Both she and Gillian have been superb. Any ideas on what the plan is for these two fabulous Mrs Ws, anybody?billybuddies4eva wrote:It's gonna be odd not seeing Kate in the role. She's my favourite Mrs Wilkinson and has certainly deserved being full time Mrs W for the last few months

She's back!
A very different interpretation of Mrs W than the others and some 'new' 80's style frocks!!

Re: Joanna Riding
A nice article about Joanna returning to Billy Elliot on the West End after her maternity leave. Some good peeks inside the workings of the show and life as an actress and a new mom.

Re: Joanna Riding
I really enjoyed that. I always felt that Joanna received unfair criticism of her age for My Fair Lady. She was very good and didn't keep on "falling ill" unlike her predecessor soap star Lisa Doolittle.
It is a great show that people do come and see. Because it's not
just a show for adults, or just for children, or just for people that
like theatre, I'd say for everyone, and it's got so much emotion
behind it. Because who ever comes and sees it, feels the story -
so I think: it's brilliant!" (GM)
