I am having so much fun watching and reading about Charlie Stemp. (He is getting a lot of brilliant press in the U.K. about coming to Broadway)

It really feels like we are watching the birth of a star.

His talent is overwhelming and you cannot take your eyes off him in ‘Hello!’

I think he has a bright future and cannot wait to see what he does next.

Could Stemp do Me And My Girl at Encores in the spring?

His comment about not auditioning was just a bit of self-deprecating charm. He would not be expected to audition.

He would not be expected to audition.

Why is that?

(Not snarking -- genuine question since he's an almost entirely unknown commodity in the States).

He was nominated for best actor in a musical Olivier award, among others. While not known here, he is certainly not unknown to the casting directors and/or the producers and creative team, and his pedigree would make an "audition" unexpected (and in many cases turned down by an agent). Typically there would be a "meeting" but not a performance. I would compare it to Jonathan Groff in reverse, or similar to Gavin Creel.

I imagine his performance in Half a Sixpence could be interpreted as a rather extended audition for Barnaby.

Geez, call it DOLLY, or even HD. But referring to it as HELLO is a new one to me!

Darling, open a new window every day!

Don’t let the past or what some consider normal dictate what you do - I certainly don’t.

Wink

While I'm no fan of normalcy as a concept, I AM a fan of communicative clarity. Wink, wink.

Why didn't you call it "Hello, Charlie?"

Thought he was singing the opening song from Book of Mormon.
