It depends on who wins. If it's Danielle or Steph I will. If it's Sophie or Lauren I won't.
Would you go to see the show

I wouldn't make a special trip down to London to see as it's not my kind of musical but I wish all the best to whoever gets the role. Maybe it will go on tour and I'll pick it up then.
If it travelled north, definitely; whoever wins, I'd be interested to see how they do. Wouldn't travel to London for it though - not for any 'musical' under Wagner!! 
I live in Scotland so won't spend hundreds to go down specifically to see that. Would like to see Wicked first and foremost. If i had a holiday down there i would go see it if i had the money and if it travelled up here i would see it.
That said i would still vote, just because i won't be buying tickets anytime soon doesn't mean i have no right to vote.

Of course it doesn't, but (I don't mean this rudely, I'm just curious) - why do you want to vote? Like... for what reason? Is it just to see someone win? Or the thought that someone you like would get a role? (Because most of them will get roles anyway...)
If Danielle wins, yes.
Possibly if Sophie or Steph win but only with good casting around them and a more 'musical' show than it is at the moment. Not my favourite show as it stands.

Lucky you - I had no desire to see Jodie in Oliver but saw Michael Ball at the end of his Hairspray run - one of the happiest shows ever!

If you're not going to see it then why the hell are you voting?!”

I saw Oliver! after being a devoted Jessie voter but actually LOVED Jodie. Just shows you can't tell how the show will turn out from the TV show! And our OTR final 4 are all brilliant.
Couldnt (cant) stand Jodie as Jodie but she was a great nancy and I thought Oliver was a spectical well worth the money.
Have booked. Go to the theatre loads and am curious to how this pans out, hopeful that other people I like will be in the cast.
Will miss sister act though, its one of my faves.

I just loved Jodie from the word go, she was my Nancy
I didn't get to see Gwion either, didn't really want to if i'm perfectly honest, Laurence and Harry however were my favourites from the show full stop, so i was thrilled when i saw both of them
And yeah it is better when you have a firm favourite, Jessica was my firm favourite though, i will still go to see The Wizard of Oz though despite who wins just because i love musical theatre, and ALW is the one to blame for that, damn IDA!

Yes, I'm delighted we went, it was absolutely brilliant. We didn't get to see Michael Ball (it was Phil Jupitus) but we've booked tickets to see him in Hairspray in November, as my mam loves him, when it comes to Dublin so we can't wait for that.

Hope you enjoy it.
Is Les Dennis doing dublin ? He's great with Michael on tour.
You'd have seen Laurens mate Chloe as Tracey too
I'm making up for those who vote and dont go, dont vote but do go......

I saw Michael Ball playing Caractacus Potts in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' several years ago - he was amazing :0)
i'd probably see it at some point but it's not like the other series where me and my mum have booked to see the show before the winner is announced! i just don't like the wizard of oz, it's a pretty lame story. i've seen it done on stage and it just doesn't translate well, regardless of whatever new music ALW adds to it.
we've booked the other shows safe in the knowledge that even if our favourites didn't win (although they did, every time) we'd be seeing a decent show anyway. the wizard of oz doesn't give that same guarantee.

I would go see it if Danielle won definitely but if she didn't then it would depend on who did win. Although saying that I didn't like Jodie, but still went and saw Oliver
If Stephanie had still been in it.... I would say I'd definitely want to go and see her. I would probably pay to see Steph or Sophie too. However wouldn't be too fussed. Definitely wouldn't go and see Danielle or Lauren. I just can't warm to them.
Usually catch a show or the ballet when we have a wekend in London but with so many good shows on this one is not top of my list.

In fact, have you ever met anyone who truly likes the story? I accept that people like some of the characters and ideas, but most people I've spoken to say the film frightened them as a child...

Had the book read to me by my primary school teacher, then read it myself then saw the film and loved them all. The shock was that the musical was different from the book I wasn't old enough to realise that this was normal. More scared of Quatermass and Dr Who

I have seen Michael Ball in Aspects of Love, Phantom and as Marius in Les Mis but I'm not at all keen on seeing Hairspray. I've also seen Gareth Gates as Marius but he's not as good as Michael was!
I'm not keen on the Wizard of Oz so won't be seeing it, whoever plays Dorothy!
I was originally planning on going if Stephanie, Jessica or Danielle won.. now that Stephanie and Jessica have gone, idk if I'll go and see Danielle. She was always my "back-up" to the other two but idk if I'd pay to (knowing me, and NOTHING against Danielle) sit and wonder how Jess/Stephanie would've fared..

A fellow Michael fan! I wish I had seen him in Phantom, Aspects and Les Mis - lucky you! I have seen him in everything he has done since Passion. He is such a wonderful performer. He started my interest in musical theatre and I've been to loads of west end shows now.
I saw Jodie in Oliver, Lee in Joseph, Connie in Sound of Music and Ray Quinn in Grease. Enjoyed them all. I will definitely go and see the Wizard of Oz, no matter who wins becdause I'm a big Andrew Lloyd Webber fan. My favourite is Danielle.
