Its touring Ireland and N Ireland - dates in link

Literally looking frightenly good in those pictures - there's a great musical there somewhere waiting for some writer and producer to note how many Nancy's have done vampire roles, or would be really good in them.......

The bad news is that the last ship is Closing on Broadway - this seems to be a difficult time to start a new musical anywhere, and the theme may have been a little too unusual .
http://www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/sh...roadway-sails/
http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/l...ay-1201393562/

The Good news is that Rachel seems to have been very well recieved in America.

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local...html#286628371
http://www.broadway.com/buzz/178047/...ary-dad-sting/

The show did a lot of advertising performances in a bid to drum up sales - which means we get Rachel singing another song from the musical

There's 'August Winds' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n87WTMmk9Q for the wall street Journal

and the same song again for the New York Times
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZkQtIqdyfc

There's also a long discussion with Sting and Rachel about the musical, the problems selling it, and Rachel's career, IDA and her ambitions.

Back from Broadway was really good - lots of US themes, songs from her past, 2 songs from the Last Ship, a duet with her sister, and a mashup from Wicked. She even sang Bojangles - that well known killer of contestants on the ALW shows. How she managed to keep the power going for 2 i hour sets, and then did it again this evening is amazing. Hopefully the fans will have been filming for youtube?

There's some interviews with Rachel
http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/ce...-10184816.html
http://www.westendframe.com/2015/03/....html?spref=tw

And her big news is that she's playing the dominatrix in Communicating Doors - a play by Alan Ayckbourn, at the Menier chocolate Factory theatre near London Bridge 7 May - 27 June.

Rachel is well up and running as in Communicating doors. Its very funny , even more so when Imogen Stubbs accidentally shot Rachel with a champagne cork.

Rachel is getting great reviews for her acting. There's also some pictures of her in the play - looking very different.
