| I don't really know about any of these ALW casting shows as they don't show them in America. The only casting show we had here was for a Broadway Grease revival, and it was crap and the actors they cast from it were forgettable. I suppose since Bat might be opening in London then maybe this type of show might help. On Broadway they just cast hollywood actors for their publicity. Really, looking at recent successful shows stunt casting doesn't really help. Casting amazing people helps. > Since ALW can keep or get rid of anyone he wants on these > shows, it is just a televised audition no different to > what he would be doing behind closed doors, yet gaining a > lot of publicity. > > You'll have to correct me if I'm wrong, but every casting > show ALW has done, the musical is still running and quite > successfully I believe. > > > I am totally opposed to any bullshit.I think the only way > > to make a successful show is to make great art.
