  4. Disappointed by the recent castings of this show apart from a handful most seem to be singers who act far removed from the original rsc production , I was impressed with both Josie brightwell and Wendy Ferguson in the recent cast , now jordan Lee davies best known for the voice is set to follow the new trend of camp males who sing beautifully but do not show the depth and grit of the people during the revolution.
