I love this one Billy WhizBilly Whiz wrote:
I would think they'd keep her in London. I assumed they only changed it for the New York and Chicago shows since people in the U.S. are much more familiar with Barbie than they are Sindy. Probably vice-versa in London.johnnyc wrote:Wonder if they'll allow her to retire in London?Musical Fanatic wrote:The Retirement of Sindy The Nurse From Broadway
Its official folks Sindy has retired in favor of Barbie on Broadway as of Sat April 17th. May she have a good retirement

Clipboard Woman-Natalie Wisdom
Will do a full review later. I struck gold at the show today. Kylend was awesome as Michael. It was fun for me to see Alex as TB. Alex had a smile on his face during most of the show. A couple of more changes to the Broadway show. The first one is they have dropped the whole exchange with the plastic jar full of 50p and scab money. Billy still has it but Clipboard Woman does not mention it nor does Billy. He just carries it through whole scene. Second thing that has changed for the time being. No one gets up on piano at all in BTB. They have even made Michael Dameski switch to ballet ending.
They have already changed Michael back to the flip after one show . Sat night the 24th he did it.cincinnati wrote:The ending to B2B is classic when Michael Dameski flips off of the piano....sad to see it go...
I actually kind of liked this exchange between Billy and the Clipboard Woman. Their fast-paced banter almost had a "Who's On First" quality to it.
