The knives certainly seem to be out for Connie Fisher this week as people jump on the bandwagon to declare her career is as good as over.

Connie who finished her run in The Sound Of Music last night, to be replaced by another TV star, has no immediate plans for another show. In fact her upcoming tour has been cancelled amidst rumours of poor ticket sales.

Some are claiming that she was never fit for the West End stage, and that there are many more veteran performers out there who had much more charisma and stage presence, while Andre Ptaszynski, the CEO of the Really Useful Group, who was organising Connie’s tour told The Daily Mail:

“I think it is a mean take to say she is not as popular as she seemed to be …

“We decided to do the concert tour around Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 60th birthday and we got the time of it wrong.

“We were trying to push her into 2,000-seat arenas 18 months after she won the competition.

“We are postponing it until the autumn, after her second album. We were overoptimistic. It is not her fault.

“She is a tremendous star and has a very bright future in musical theatre.”

So what do you think? Would you pay to see Connie sing live, or do you think she is on her way to the land of obscurity along with so many other reality TV stars? As always, leave your comments below.
