PR disasters thread 31

[BigWillyLittleTodger]

Have the eagles landed yet? Another thread to discuss yet more Sussex shenanigans!

Same old hypocrisy.

Well it's possible MM could take on a theatre role and end up calling out of it as much another actress with the initials MM famously did at The National Theatre

Yes it's a duet with Katie Price I hear.

Are they going to release a statement on British politics every time there is something they don’t like?

I heard it was Peter Andre? It makes more sense if it’s Peter as they both love their kids.

God help us! 🙄

Yes they are both deeply flawed it seems.

It would do them so much good if they stopped giving critics easy wins.

They really need to button it, they could get away with it whilst in America but they need to STFU now they are here and are using British titles gifted to them from the Head of State.

How embarrassing to be a stunt - no doubt M won't even realise 😬

I can just about - at a very extended stretch - see M in a made for a soap star West End role. (I saw some awful ex-Eastender as Roxy Hart once), but even then I doubt she’d last the week.

I definitely can’t see her at the National. And in Meghan’s mind the great Shakespearean Actors aren’t the types she wants to be pally with anyway. She wants to be in Gwyneth, Nicole and Jennifer.

I so wish that Have I Got News For You was on at the moment ~ I would love to hear the panellists opinions of the Sussex saga . . . . .

The NT have a public casting call for an iconic musical in 2027 including these two female roles - would MM have a playing age of 16 -25?

• Role 1: Female, playing age 16–22, soprano, with strong ballet training. The National Theatre is particularly interested to hear from performers with Puerto Rican or wider Latin American heritage for this role.
• Role 2: Female, playing age 18–25, mezzo-soprano, and an exceptional dancer with experience in ballet, jazz and Latin dance, including partnering work and lifts. The National Theatre is particularly interested to hear from performers with Puerto Rican or wider Latin American heritage for this role.

Songs that would be a massive wink to the audience reflecting real life familial disputes
"A boy like that who'd kill your brother, forget that boy and find another"
"A boy like that will bring you sorrow, you'll meet another boy tomorrow"

Songs that would reflect Meghan's eternal dream of landing the prize

"Could it be? Yes, it could
Something's coming, something good
If I can wait
Something's coming, I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great"

And, the big finale

"I like to be in America...."

Funnily enough I half-joked about being able to see M as Roxie Hart on a different thread the other day.

The NT is famous for its new writing and modern plays. It doesn't do Shakespeare that often.

But I think if she is going on stage, it's more likely to be in the West End. Proper money, more flexibility with how long her run is.

Anyway, it's amusing to speculate.

We do now know though how she treats her own family though 😬

Nah, I would read some of the reviews online and discuss them on these threads and we'd find it entertaining - for free. I wouldn't pay hundreds for a ticket to see her.

I can't see any stage production in the West End managing her security demands anyway. Even huge stars are expected to exit the stage door where they may or may not have a car and driver waiting. That's all there is the physical space for, and the pavements and roads out front are crowded. MM's required entourage (that she doesn't even need, fgs) would be impossible to arrange.

Jets or Sharks, Myrtle?

There's some theatres where it's possible. Not everyone is expected to exit by the stage door, some don't. There are workarounds.

But we'll see! She'll certainly get offers, it's just whether she takes them and it can be made to work.

A certain type of American does. Not the ones she originally wanted to impress and join (Entertainment A List & the Montecito Elite), but the ones she can make money off of a la Fergie. She isn't aiming for that market right now, her 'products' are a wee bit expensive for most of them. But she will.

I think what's stopping her now is wanting to 'keep Harry sweet' because I don't think she really wants a divorce right now. I think H still believes that they could 'return to the fold' in some form of HIHO and doesn't want to do anything to upset the Royal Apple Cart. So I think she wants to keep her 'status' as THE Duchess of Sussex, for now. Yes, I know she wrongly uses the 'form' of a divorced duchess. I may be wrong but I think her correct 'style' would be 'The Duchess of Sussex' without her name and she wants her name in there.

But of course it's all pure speculation on my part. Feel free to disagree or ignore me.

You mean the Waleses or the Sussexes, surely?

Meghan can't act though. Me and DH used to watch Suits years ago, way before she and Harry got together.
I remember saying to DH she's very pretty but is a rubbish actor (as was one of the male leads).
Nobody is going to pay to come to see a London show just because of her, they might come to see the show that's she's in though.
She isn't a draw, tickets are too expensive to come just for a nosey.

Meghan hasn't got the temperament for theatre acting. She is too thin-skinned and controlling - there are too many show by show variables, as well as being open to criticism every night and twice on matinee days. She would also be expected to turn up regularly, not suddenly flit off to emote and merch her outfits at some disaster or other.

I don't disagree with much of that but to a certain that's moot if she's not self-aware or doesn't realise the demands.

What I've been saying is I think it's likely she could be offered and take a role.

As I mentioned earlier with another actress MM, I think the reality could be that if Meghan does take a role, Meghan calls out sick a lot of her run ends empty.

But I think she might think she could do it and accept something.

She won't take on a theatrical role.
Don't know if she can sing but she certainly can't dance. Even when she's shown video clips that she's actually chosen, she wobbles about looking uncoordinated.
Besides which, she'd have to appear regularly on stage which is which is much harder the dotting in and out of episodes.
She'd be asking the audience why they hadn't asked how she was <snivel<

Being in a stage production is very hard work, you have to show up every night and you have to be word perfect. It takes a lot of energy, effort and commitment. You can't let the rest of the cast down.
