It could actually do The Savoy after 9 to 5 if the extension doesn't go through. I think a medium-sized venue would be the smart way to move forward.

The Piccadilly also has nothing scheduled after The Lehman Trilogy (ending 3rd August) and I think has a slightly larger stage than the Savoy. If I remember correctly this played reasonably large stages on its tour so Piccadilly is maybe also a possibility? |

The Piccadilly also has nothing scheduled after The Lehman Trilogy (ending 3rd August - definitely Autumn) and I think has a slightly larger stage than the Savoy. If I remember correctly this played reasonably large stages on its tour so Piccadilly is maybe also a possibility? I do know the Piccadilly wsd the venue they wanted immediately following the tour but it couldn't happen. So if that is available, I imagine that is the venue for it and I could see it going in there. |

If I remember correctly this played reasonably large stages on its tour so Piccadilly is maybe also a possibility? The tour was only a Christmas run in Plymouth & Dublin. Both of which have large stages. The set was quite large and hi tech with two revolves & a moving semi circular LED screen so the Piccadilly is a good shout. |

If I remember correctly, this struggled quite a bit in terms of sales when it was in Dublin. I quite enjoyed it and the cast recording is pretty good.

I imagine it will be a scaled down production and be a filler limited run in the West End. I don't know if it will be open-ended.

This is the trailer for the Dublin run a few years ago for anyone unfamiliar with Big. I forgot that this had Jay McGuiness, Diana Vickers & Gary Wilmot in it.

It's the Dominion from September up until White Christmas if it all goes to plan.

Well I did say earlier it was bad...... You did, sean, you did. But the reality... It looks so cheap and sucked dry of creativity. A bit like White Christmas there a few years back! |

I do love Gary Wilmot as an entertainer which would be my only draw to this...but that isn't enough...looks dreadful and everything a musical shouldn't be.

Seems it's with Jay again as well.
Btw what has this got to do with DM anyway?!

I'm actually looking forward to it. I imagine it will be either downsized or have ridiculous prices to make up for a limited run like that.

It's a super-creepy premise when you think about it...

The great thing too is that there is three roles large enough that you could cast names in them to make the limited run worthwhile. So I imagine we will see Jay and the two people playing the boss and the female lead be announced tonight.
Why do I get Kimberley Walsh vibes with this one?

The mother is also a role that can be cast with a star in the role. Denise Van Outen was due to play the role in Plymouth & Dublin but pulled out last minute & Paul the corporate manager was played by Irwin Sparkes from the band the Hoosiers. So there is 5 roles that can be star cast if they want to.

Looks like Heidi Range will be the female lead.
