Hi my nan trained the dog for this show, the actress actually does a hand signal behind her head which makes the dog bark :)) We actually still have the dog from this show!!! she is alive and well
Listen I know Laura and Christian are the OGs and we love them but.... I actually slightly prefer the way Sheridan and Alex interpret the roles and their relationship tbh. Something about it just speaks to me. And I vastly prefer this version of the number, instead of the original with the closed door, too.
In the Broadway version, Emmiett's love for Elle is kept to himself, but in the west end version, he confesses his love, it's nice seeing the two different versions and how each production incorporates there own ideas of how the scene is portrayed.
I remember watching the New Elle series from the US, and I remember when the 2 finalist had to remember or the choreography as well, as learning to wait for the lift system in the middle of the stage to close before walking over it, hence the first two scenes, and in this scene, a lot of marking
Both LBB and Sheridan did amazing jobs and GREAT Elles. I cried a lot more for LBB's version but I don't know. Both of them are equally amazing and have their own way of portraying Elle. However, I do prefer the door in the American version. Confessing to Elle just seemed... wrong for me.
