Is Tim Funnell remaining in the show ?

Yes he is. Strangely he was not around this week.

I spoke to Tim briefly after the show on Saturday evening. His absence from the show recently is explained by the fact that he has been celebrating a new arrival so it's hearty congratulations.

Pat

Thanks for that news Pat.

Best wishes to Tim and his family

On London Theatre Twitter they are saying that Helen French is playing Mrs W today. Has she ever played the role before?

He had posted on his public twitter, @timfunnell , a while back that he had moved to Canada. It seems that the company figured if he was now on this side of the Atlantic, they wanted him to join the show. Wonderful news for the tour!

Fantastic news! Had a long chat with him during my last London visit in November. He said he was moving to Toronto, and I asked him about the tour but he was noncommittal at time, though he definitely seemed open to the idea! What a great addition to the tour. I wish he were starting in DC!!

Per the Official UK BETM website, with the departure of Caroline Deverill, ensemble member Helen French is now the alternate for Mrs. Wilkinson:

Matthew Dale of the Ensemble and understudy for Tony, tweets that he will be playing the latter role for the last time at tonight's performance:
