She will pull in a few of her obsessed stalker super fans in who go to everything she does at every town but beyond that I can't see the attraction, folks like my Mum who goes to the odd thing in Newcastle (not playing there) or Sunderland (is playing there) haven't the faintest clue who she is. It's all about the big shows that they've heard of doing well in London for years finally arriving in town, or what show has the best artwork in the little squares that appear in the paper thing that the Theatre Royal Newcastle mail out to her twice a year. Unfortunately the artwork for this looks absolutely amateur hour so she'll just skip past it, and go and see whatever has someone that was once in Strictly in instead.

I love musicals and I am booked to see 4 this year in Bristol, bare in mind I am 50 but Calamity Jane does not interest me at all, so obviously a lot of stalker fans will be going.
According to her she is doing all venues, come on Gary you never do

Who knows, maybe Carrie has realised that she isn't as much of a west end star any more, and will get fit, take dance and singing lessons?, maybe it'll be a turning point for her career wise to train, now she's got a baby to feed, maybe she's feeling she needs to step up.
Our locals never discount tickets.
It’s cheaper to see a show in the west end.
My parents are in their 60s/70s, and it doesn't appeal to them. I bought them tickets to see JC Superstar as thats much more up their street!
IS this the reason it's being put on? - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28015371/
Maybe she can "run" a few more marathons to get fit, like she "ran" before?
Same here, they used to had some great midweek half price tickets in the past, but Trafalgar Group put a stop to that.
The promo video makes it look like she's in a giant bulky trenchcoat- the sort of thing where it's actually two children, one stood on the other's shoulders to look like a grownup
Great to see The Face back, I think she's trying to give sultry and sexy but she's actually giving fighting off a sneeze?

Just watched the announcement video. Oh wow it’s bad. That isn’t calamity’s vibe at all. It’s just Carrie pretending to be bad ass and you can see the clogs turning “look cool, look cool, look cool!”
horrendous.
horrendous.
Maybe this will be the tour that humbles her.
She wasn’t the lead in Crown Jewels flopor her panto.
This tour is firmly on her shoulders if it doesn’t sell.

It's the tiny watermill production. It will be lost on some of the bigger stages.
I'd guess it will be someone like Jason Donovan or some other ex boybander starring next to her

My mum loves Doris Day movies, but she has never been fussed about seeing this on previous tours. She'd rather just watch the movie. I might have taken her anyway this time, but not with Carrie in it.

So I’m 26 and I grew up watching calamity Jane a LOT. I swear it was always on tv?! So I love it, even Doris Day’s crazy fake laugh she does as calam. So of course I’ve been picturing Carrie trying to do that laugh. And all the quips in a southern drawl…
She won’t be able to pull off plucky, quick on the draw (whip crack awaaaay) , and she won’t be able to pull off “secret love” at end. She’s a short burst shout singer. That doesn’t suit any of calamity’s songs. Especially trying to sing fast and with proper diction- she struggles with this so she punctuates every sound toooo much and it makes the songs sound slower (like in “pulled” from the Addams family, the “puppy dogs with droopy faces” part sounds clunky and like she has too much saliva in her mouth)

She always sounds like she has a claggy throat!
The movie is often on bbc2 still. Was on the other week
COUGH Carrie! Have a nice cup of herbal tea!
I think in her old vlogs etc she would eat/drink claggy things in her dressing room which I’ve heard isn’t great?! Another example of Carrie thinking she’s above all the other things that performers do- whether it be drinking milky tea before singing, or actually training.
worth saving for future reference
Ain’t no way she’s doing all this while maintaining a believable accent and also delivering the required comedic timing of the character. Calamity Jane is one of my favourite movies and I just can’t imagine her doing The Face in every scene and screeching her way through the Secret Love and Black Hills of Dakota.
So I guess we can safely assume that John won't be getting to reimpregnate her any time soon then, since she's now booked through to September 2025. No siblings for Marvellous Maisie for now.
