Crazy Like A Fool...

Sheila Ferguson and Jane Macdonald must be Crazy!

They will headline DADDY COOL's first UK TOUR based on the successful European Tour.

The show failed hugely when it premièred at The Shaftesbury Theatre in October 2006, which was a tough year beside with Wicked, Spamalot, Avenue Q, Carloine or Change, Sound of Music, Cabaret, Porgy & Bess and Dirty Dancing opening!

lol best news ever, i was up for the National Tour of this when it was going to happen first time round. I have no idea why they would even try and send this out on tour, it was a disaster.

Anything Goes you have made my day

Wow

A friend of mine who works in theatre also told me that a UK tour of 'Desperate Seeking Susan' is in the works.

[Mark_E]

I'd much prefer to see DSS. I love Blondie!

[songanddanceman2]

Your friend is wrong, DSS is not available to be performed by anyone, Pete is trying to get the rights etc sorted out but it will take awhile.

[Phantom of London]

I was just having a little tease with you, as I know you love both shows. x

[songanddanceman2]

Love both shows?

I enjoyed Susan very much, that's why my company is producing Desperately Seeking the Exit, but as for Daddy Cool, i think it's dreadful, awful, badly written and was only gonna get involved with the original UK tour for a pay cheque.

[ClapYo'Hands]

Why do these things never tour near me?

[MamasDoin'Fine]

Because you know you have impeccable taste dear!

[ClapYo'Hands]

Apparently so do my local theatres!

[MamasDoin'Fine]

...would you see a show with such awful artwork!

[ClapYo'Hands]

Not now!

[songanddanceman2]

I wonder at what point the tour will get the axe mid way through. And that art work is horrid, worse than the original London one

[MamasDoin'Fine]

The two diva's will get pissed off with this rubbish pretty fast, its that or they'll get pissed off with each other! lol

[Skywalker3]

I saw the Dutch production and I tell you run, run away!

It's horrible! I don't get why it was a success over here.. It was a fun night out, but it's more of a, let get drunk en watch a show, show. The acting of the lead male (who's gonna tour in the UK) is terrible! The story is predictable and boring. Oke the dancing was amazing.. But that's all..

So on behave of all the other Dutch citizens, I'm very very sorry!

[MamasDoin'Fine]

It doesn't work here lol, it folded after 5 monthss. We are still trying to understand why its being taken out across the UK? x

[songanddanceman2]

I was so happy the day the tour got axed originally, that was a close call lol
