Given that this is a repost from the Sun I'd take it with a pinch of salt. Has ALW mentioned a new show? Thought he'd have his work cut out with Cinderella and the possible Broadway transfer?

Probably a flash in the pan.

ALW does love a shiny new toy. Is he just sticking him in a new Joseph or something?

Sounds more like stunt casting for a revival of something.

Is he going into Cinderella? This show needs everything Lewd Rubber can chuck at it.

Perhaps he’s secretly a versatile Rock Tenor and he’s taking over as Charming just in time for ‘the re-insertion’?

No word of a lie, I saw John leaving the Strictly tour hotel only yesterday. His sunglasses didn't fool me! "John, wait," I shouted. "John Whaite, wait."
I would have asked him if I'd known.

I mean 'baker-turned-dancer' has Cinderella all over it. Fits some of the previous promo they did, so maybe a big old rehash is in the works with more household names attached.

Not hot buns guy? For the sake of a pun/gag that would be really low.

I would think he would be more interested in increasing his baking opportunities, books, tv shows etc then being a bit-part in Cinderella.

The article mentions lead role in a new musical so I can't see it being Cinderella...unless ALW is planning on taking it in a totally different direction

Surely only a revival could be ready for this summer. Considering how long he takes to write a show (naturally) there isn’t going to be a new one in a few months.
But this “The Sun”, so probably not even worth wondering.

He's replacing Carrie Hope Fletcher provided they get rid of the hideous costumes with Johannes stepping up as the Prince provided he can do his own choreography, and Tess Daly is writing some new jokes for good measure.

Maybe it's the gay Tell Me On a Sunday Don Black was talking about.

It need not be a new ALW score. It might be something like the Wizard of Oz revival that he produced, adding a couple of numbers along the way.
Or he is reworking Joseph from the perspective of the Baker....

John has dismissed the story completely, so panic over.

The baker also has a small, silent appearance during the post-wedding dance party

The baker also has a small, silent appearance during the post-wedding dance party If they can put in a John Travolta style dance break in for Sebastian, just to show that he's a dancer, there's no reason they can't put in a Pirates of The Caribbean Paso for John at the Wedding party. |

Why not also bung in an ice dancing section into the 1st half and in the 2nd give Michelle mcmanus a 5 minute guest slot?
