Caroline O'Connor (who understudied Diane Langton as Angel in the 1988 London production before starring in "Chicago", "Mack and Mabel" and "Anastasia") played the role of Anna in a revival at London's Southwark Playhouse in May 2018. This production was highly praised for the main performances by Caroline O’Connor and Gemma Sutton and for the inventive choreography (including tap dancing on roller skates) but changes to the script and score by the show's director and dramaturg were less popular (the opening number Coloured Lights was moved to the end of Act 1, leaving the show to start with dialogue. A huge section of Mrs A, where Anna's rejection of her faith is explored, was cut. Sections of All The Children In A Row, where Angel's lover died in a car crash prompting her search for her father, were replaced with the repetition of an incongruous line “I’m going to find my father”).
