If you're not going to tell us, then there's no use for you to talk about it where we can read it. It just feels like you're trying to brag about knowing something the rest of us don't know. If thats how it cam accross I apologise, its not intended like that at all. Oooo Kevin Kerns is great from what I have heard from him in the show! I think for London the idea for Neverland is presumably to have the Matthew/Kelsey roles be star cast and hopefully have the Laura role MT cast (by Louise Dearman, it really is just her role!)  |

I understand, but it's annoying because now I really want to know who it is  And yeah from the stuff I've seen and heard on youtube, he's excellent. |

I saw him on Broadway, he was okay. Would rather have a local boy originate the role though. And is the bloody Santa beard a role requirement?

(...) is the bloody Santa beard a role requirement? No, it's not. Kevin Kern, who is currently playing the role on tour, didn't grow a beard for the role. Neither did Tony Yazbeck when he played it on Broadway I think. |

Kern had a beard when I saw him. Seems he saw sense and took it off. Sorry, just hate beards I guess it sprang to mind because I thought of Hadley Fraser for Barrie, another immensely attractive man who hides his face behind ugly wool. Fraser minus beard is a choice I could get behind. |

If this show with this amazing leading lady (so intrigued to hear what it is!!) is actually going to the Piccadilly then I have absolutely no idea where FN can go?? What other decent sized theatres are available??

What other decent sized theatres are available?? Beautiful is certainly slowing down but still selling well. That's the only other size appropriate venue I'd guess other than the Novello, and Mamma Mia still seems strong. |

I think Beautiful is planning to close pre-tour, as Wimbledon is on its touring schedule.

I agree it would be good for the Aldwych as I can see Beautiful closing before the tour, as that's what West End shows tend to do if there is a tour confirmed.
Can't see Mamma Mia slowing down anytime soon either.
Also, if FN does go to the Piccadilly, then we'll never find out what this huge show was!!

The Aldwych isn't a big theatre either so it'll be downsized either way |

Wait! Someone on another board has mentioned The Color Purple. Is this the show people are alluding to?
