Sorry if this has already been posted! http://www.whatsonstage.com/index.php?p ... 1232376727 Quote: Nigel Planer and Emmerdaleâ€™s Verity Rushworth will next month join the cast of Hairspray at the West Endâ€™s Shaftesbury Theatre. From 2 February 2009, Planer and Rushworth take over from Ian Talbot and Elinor Collett as, respectively, Wilbur Turnblad and Penny Pingleton, the father and the best friend of Leanne Jonesâ€™ Tracy Turnblad (pictured with Planer). Meanwhile, original stars Jones, Michael Ball (who cross-dresses as Tracyâ€™s mother Edna) and Ben James-Ellis (romantic interest Link Larkin) have all extended their contracts until 25 July 2009.

Thank you so much for letting us know ETA - three more articles confirming extended contracts: http://www.theatermania.com/new-york/ne ... 15174.html http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/londonth ... 333134.htm http://broadwayworld.com/article/Ball_J ... 2_20090119 "Adam Spiegel, from UK producers Stage Entertainment, said in a statement, "Hairspray goes from strength to strength and I am so pleased to welcome Nigel and Verity to the family. With these two supremely talented actors joining our cast, added to the news that Michael, Leanne and Ben are all staying with the show, we hope that the Shaftesbury Theatre will remain the place to be for West End audiences throughout 2009." _________________ Ben James-Ellis - the real, irreplaceable Link Larkin, the best Peter Pan in Neverland, the unforgettable Private Leslie Williams and the dreamiest dreamboat ever!!

Wonder if there is any significance in a 3 month extension. Would like to think maybe there's something else in the pipeline for Ben in the autumn (Legally Blonde?).
