Saw matinee show for 9th time today. Fabulous as always. Tony is the definitive Bernadette. So sad to see him and other go. Best show ever.

John Bowe was sitting behind my friend and I when we saw the show on the 16th of feb. I wondered if her was going to be joining the cast and low and behold he is!

I came to see the show for the third time last night and can’t wait for the 4th! I am SO pleased that you all got so many awards, especially Oliver - you just get better and better. Gutted to see that in the cast change Matthew Cole is leaving. He, too, was a fantastic Felicia.
Keep up the good work everyone.

Very, very sad to hear Tony is leaving. To me, he is THE only Bernadette. Still glad to hear Oliver and Jason are staying, hope to see them in Priscilla again soon xxx

Just booked again for 23rd feb (for the 10th or 11th time - possibly more - lost count) simply got to see Tony one more time before he leaves - good luck for the future mate, and thanks for the hours of fabulous entertainment. To console me could Oliver please pop round with his paintbrush - my spare bedroom needs redecorating…….

Craig Ryder is leaving on the 6th of March. If you go the What’s New Page, you will find a link to the cast from the 8th March.
Best,

Devestated that Tony is leaving, he is fabulous as Bernadette, is he ditching his eyeliner and frocks and becoming Ralph again? As sad as I am life will still be worth living as long as Oliver stays……

So sad to see Tony leave the show - 6th March will be the end of an era. An unrivalled talent and a true gentleman, he’ll be greatly missed in the West End.
Good luck to all of those who are moving on and many thanks for the fabulous entertainment you’ve provided over the past year.

Clive Carter is leaving the show. We will shortly announce his replacement as Bob who will start with the rest of the cast on March 8th.
best,
Priscilla

I have seen the show twice but am coming back 2 see it again. Love Oliver to bits!!!
Shame that Tony’s leaving though. You were the perfect Bernadette!
by tealsocks
Shattered to hear that Tony is leaving! He is absolutely spectacular as Bernadette. Best wishes to him for the future though!
I don’t see Bob listed, however. Is Clive Carter remaining?
by Jeannie
Loved the show been twice so far, sorry to hear that Tony is leaving, the actors are all great as their characters but if I had to pick one as the best it would be Tony as Bernadette, best wishes to Tony in whatever he does next, and best wishes for continued success to the cast of the show.
