Danielle has ended as Eponine in Les Mis. She seems from SnoopMk's interview to be a believer in moving on after a year. it seems they managed to finally talk the other strongmembers of taht cast into staying but not Danielle.

Baby Devil has put up her last performances.

Its a case of all change on the dots front. Danielle has finished as Eponine, Sophie is still doing her cabarets and shows, and Lauren has finished the WWRY tour. But Jessica has started in Mamna Mia and Bronte is rehearsing Carnival of the animals, and Steph has a show coming up........

Ciao mafia. Whatever happened to us all?

Also what happened to the forum? I cannot access it any more. And I no longer get my weekly feeds. Help!

Hi Sonny,

The forum has been upgraded, and Lefora has sent new passwords to all members. Check your e-mail to see if you have a message (I think it just says it's from "Team"), and then you can sign in with the password they give you (you can change your password once you've logged in). If you can't find the e-mail, you can just re-join. It would be great to see you around there again!

There doesn't seem to be much activity here on DS anymore except for occasional updates on the Dots by networkbabe and myself (I only post updates about Danielle, though). The forum is still around, and we still have the fansite as well, and Danielle has linked to it on her official site. I encourage any lurkers who may read this and are interested in following Danielle's career to check out the forum at www.daniellehopeforum.com for the fansite and then click on "Forum" to join the forum and read it, or just click here to go directly to the forum. I also maintain the forum's Twitter and Facebook pages and Baby Dragon updates the YouTube channel whenever there is a new performance or radio/TV interview.

http://www.warrenvenue.com/home.php

This is the Musical for 2 leads that Lauren did early post OTR. Danielle is doing it with Jon Robyns who was Nancy Sullivan's first Marius ...Jessie is of course in Greenwich at the same time if anyone wants to try and see if they can see both....its a small world.

Danielle is singing at the Delfont room June 26,
http://www.delfontmackintosh.co.uk/T...nielleHope.asp
This is at the Prince of Wales Theatre Leicester Square. The show starts at 2300 because its on after House of Mormon upstairs ends.
Daniel Boys is doing a show there too.

The site CV also lists some of the workshops she has been doing. Carol Blitztein in Blitz! (Theatre Royal, Stratford East), Jamie Pack in Out There, Lina in Robert Lindsay's Wildwood, and Rose in The Little Prince.

Danielle has done an interview, with her co star and director, about The Last Five Years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0llmorQ8Es

starting end of July going through to the end of Nov, so far.

The Kemwright site is terrible at keeping up to date and having cast lists, so check who is in it before you go....

Here are two wonderful performances from Danielle's cabaret at the Delfont Room:


Disney Medley

September of '92--with Stuart Matthew Price

By all accounts I've heard, the concert went amazingly well. Michael Crawford and ALW were in the audience, as well!

Here's another clip from the Delfont Room cabaret. Danielle celebrates one of her favorite places, New York City, with a classic Rodgers and Hart song:

Manhattan

Here are three more videos from the Delfont Room concert, including a reprise of her most celebrated song from OTR:

Mambo Italiano

Flight (with Celinde Schoenmaker)

Feed the Birds/Hushabye Mountain

Danielle is up and running in Joseph.

There's a, classy, rehearsal video of her singing as the narrator , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUT3m06u7tk and the folk at http://www.daniellehopeforum.com/ have put up some youtubes of some recent interviews about the role. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUT3m06u7tk

There's also some pictures. http://www.westendframe.com/2014/07/...iels-matt.html

It started in Windsor - there's an early local review http://www.windsorobserver.co.uk/wha...our-dreamcoat/


Danielle 's also living with with Celine Schoenmaker - who was Fantine when she was in Les Mis, and is now back in that role alongside Emilie's Cosette, and they are very near to Emilie and Jessica, who are still together in chez Dots - although Bronte has now gone off on tour with Shrek .

Saw this Today. They have now got to Bromley on the tour. Dates to November 22 so far http://www.daniellehope.co.uk/Events.html Danielle is indeed classy. Well worth a ticket just for her. She's getting to try new things - like comedy, and the narrator role is the biggest in the show - with some big songs, some of which let her belt and be rocky . Its interesting that she, and Jessica, are currently using the top end of their vocal range that we didn't see much of in OTR. Another reminder that what you see , isn't necessarily whats there.

She's done an interview with Westend Wilma

Every now and then I check out this thread from my favourite talent show. But it was much more difficult today as DS seem to have introduced a 30 day time limit on listings. OK it's been five years and everything has to come to a pass.

My thanks to networkbabe for keeping us informed over this time but there now seem to be very few readers.

There seems to be an issue with the OTR forum - it shows only one months posts and it reverts to one month if you set it to longer in display options .. The other forums either stay on displaying from the beginning, or may reset to whatever time back you set. on your last visit? Its all still there if you set the right display option, but you need now to do that on OTR if you want to see anything more than 30 days old. It looks like a gliche. i will ask the friendly powers that be if they can fix it.Its more important to be able to see recent posts now as only one entry is visible under past reality on the TV shows, reality TV forum and they vanish from sight unless you go to the show threads themselves.If they vanish within the show threads after a month they will get missed even more. .

There are readers - just ghostly ones. How many hits something gets seems to depend on who they are, and if there's a music link in there. Some people get 150 hits, Some get 400. One gets 1100+ Where they came in the shows isn't always reflected in the hits........

Think the problem has been fixed by the kindly PTB.

The Joseph tour is going on till may 2015 - at least - no word if Danielle is staying throughout, http://www.kenwright.com/index.php?id=638

Here's some Danielle audible or visible in

Danielle will be making her US concert debut at 54 Below in New York City in February!

Details from BroadwayWorld here:

Danielle Hope at 54 Below

More exciting Danielle news: she'll be starring as Maria in Bill Kenwright's 2015 UK tour of The Sound of Music! This makes her the second ALW casting winner (and, I think 4th ALW contestant overall) to play Maria!

Details here.

Congrats to Danielle! What a great role for her!

Indeed. Well done Its her biggest yet, and there's very few top female roles at present. . Hope someone manages to youtube some of her big numbers . Interesting too that Danielle and Jessica are both now using the soprano end of their range we didn't see much of on OTR.

There is a SOM site.
http://www.kenwright.com/index.php?id=1440
Not clear yet if its going on beyond August

54 below is a big gig too - it has very good performers , and is where Frances Ruffelle does her New York shows.
http://54below.com/artist/danielle-hope/

I'm excited about the 54 Below gig. I've bought my ticket, and I'm looking forward to seeing Danielle on stage for the first time in a while (it's not as easy for me to get across the pond anymore).

As for The Sound of Music, it's an awesome role! I'm sure she'll be great. As you noted, networkbabe, she's been singing in her higher range a lot lately, and this is a great role for that. Here's a new video from the SOM tour, in which Danielle answers fan questions:

Meet Maria

After watching this, I do wonder why Maria has to be blonde. Maybe Danielle wants to try out a different hair color for a role, and that's cool, but I've seen several non-blonde Marias and they've been great. I had been wondering if Danielle was going to be wearing a wig for the role based on the advertising art, though.

One for the Joseph Collection. Is that Danielle at the start - she sounding older?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70NSSgx6FM That sounds very Julie in places - you can hear Maria in there

Imagine its a Julie Andrews thing going light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1
HwVmY28Pk - you make it look like what people expect

Helena and Aoife did it as brunettes http://www.kilworthhousetheatre.co.u...sound-of-music under 2012 and SOM. http://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/file.as...=270&width=270

it could be she just fancies a change .There's a lot of it about. Niamh is blonde at the moment, and among the blondes , Jenny is playing in black, and Nancy Sullivan has just gone red.

SOM starts in Bromley in Jan........though SOM is only doing 3 days there - which is odd ,as no sooner will they start to preview it ,than it will move......
http://www.atgtickets.com/shows/the-...eatre-bromley/

Danielle is up and running, up and down alps, in the SOM.

Its doing really well. People loved it in Bromley, and its got great reviews for the show ,and Danielle, in Southampton

http://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/...__Southampton/
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/what-s-o...pton-1-6540410
The reviews say it all - she is that good, they have cast a very very strong supporting cast which produces great vocals, and the children really are excellent. .


Danielle is playing Maria sounding very much like Julie , but the blonde hair http://instagram.com/p/yNfuDvC3dE/ seems to be a wig (see Jessica below) Danielle herself looks like this http://instagram.com/p/x862KBC3ZI/ - Maria and Fantine doing yoga at the top of the Shard - as you do.


There's also an interview
http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/leisure/sta...Danielle_Hope/

She's also been in to visit Les Mis and taken a photo with Emilie
https://twitter.com/DanielleHope26/s...027648/photo/1

If anyone does find out Danielle's holiday dates, if any, could they post them - see Jessica below.
