Oh My Gosh, This Has to be the most, EXQUISITE Rehearsal I've seen. 😌 Kelli is EXTRAORDINARY, and Ken is Wonderful. Kelli's interaction with the children is PRECIOUS.

[@Gwion98]

Kelli's English accent is perfect

[@chocolatesouljah]

American here! This is precisely the comment I was look for. Soooo glad to hear!

[@senseijosesuave]

Is Kelli the most wonderful star of the stage of all time?

[@laughfrodisiac2400]

Thank god for this production. The West End needs this shot of life and real quality and the queen that is Kelli O'Hara.

[@normanrichardson144]

I was there on the opening night and Kelli was great. I'd never heard of her before this and I was very impressed. I hope we see more of her in the West End theatre​.

[@gabrielleclennon6589]

I love this musical

[@mrjcb91]

Saw it the other night and it was magical but it was half empty! Go see it people.

[@helenbrown5369]

[@cheesyeggomelet1657]

I love the girl that sang I have dreamed.. Love her voice.

[@Deefanatic]

We don't deserve Kelli O'Hara.

[@fionaokeefe1906]

Where’s Ruthie Ann? I thought she would be there, her heart was always set on performing in London! Watching these rehearsals makes me wonder why I didn’t pursue theater🎭when I was a teen🤔

[@kikihappy54]

She's recovering from the loss of her children after getting hit by a car. She'll return to the stage when she is ready

[@fionaokeefe1906]

@@kikihappy54 she now has a daughter named Hope Elizabeth and is currently starring on CBS show All Rise and she has returned to the stage singing more beautifully than ever🙏🏻

I have seen the show last Saturday. The show was good, but the make ups for Asian actors are terrible. They look much better at rehearsal here.

[@nobase]

Is it really that difficult to cast south east Asian talents in this show? The leads are all east Asians Japanese, Korean, & Chinese. This story takes place in freaking Thailand (Siam).

[@RachayaTanterdtid]

There is one Thai women named Kamm. She's a part of ensemble and understudy Tuptim 😊

[@nobase]

My biggest problem with the casting is they think all Asian are the same.

[@nobase]

Imagine if they have a musical about Kpop and all the leads are South Asian actors. The Korean community will be very upset.

[@nobase]

The south-east Asian actors need to be vocal or else the white producers, directors ...etc will continue this practice.

[@RachayaTanterdtid]

I'm Thai. According to my teacher, this musical is also misleading Thai Royal Family. That's why this musical is banned in Thailand.
