Up till 2202 18th Nov.

Thanks for all the wonderful updates that you do ... it's so nice to hear what they are upto.

Does anyone know what happened to Aoife's old fan blog? It was lovely, but I can't seem to find it any more. Can't wait to see what she does next after having the baby ... would have loved to have seen her in Legally Blonde with Siobhan, but had no time to visit England. Though if I could have seen it with Aoife as Brooke, Siobhan as Vivienne, Lee as Emmett, Denise Van Outen as Paulette and (now I'm just dreaming ... Connie Fisher as Elle and Abi Finley as Enid (plus throw in Helena somewhere)) that would be my five favourite Marias plus Joseph (and wife) so I definitely would have

This might be of interest ... I read in a west end theatre board that Siobhan will be playing the lead role in the musical Ghost when the current lead leaves to play the role on Broadway next year. I hope this is true. What a massive role that would be!!

Its just, indeed, been announced that Siobhan is taking over the lead role in Ghost alongside Mark evans (Rachel's fiyero) starting jan 13. .

Ex has finished - most critics didn't like the story, but the audience semed happy enough when i went. Siobhan was impressive. There's a picture of Siobhan in Ex in this Ghost story.
