She's different to Gillian, but she is very good. She nails the nasty bits, but also has a few comedic moments too which worked well - especially her reaction to being made president of Ultraglow, that was hilarious.

This tour I'd say is as strong as the last tour - only difference I could see was Motormouth now has a new wig for YCSTB which looked great. I was very impressed with the whole production.

Not as feminine as Michael Starke or Michael Ball - but it still worked, and he had some very funny moments. He's a surprisingly good singer, none of the songs had to be transposed down for him to sing them.

Motormouth has a new wig? what does it look like? normally she has the feathered wig that depending on the version either looks wonderful and fluffy or flat and messy! LOL

You can see it at the bottom of this picture (though it looked better than this when I saw the show):
