Can we start a 'No to Boe' petition to try and stop Alfie from being cast in the London production. Anyone with me? I quite like Alfie Boe, I read his book and everything. He always comes across as a decent enough guy as well so the no personality thing seems a little unfair!

Carolee Carmello has just tweeted that Tony Yazbeck is staying with the show on Broadway, so I assume Alfie isn't coming back after all. His voice didn't mesh with the song style imo, and he's not much of a mover. He was a casting choice I could never quite understand. I enjoy this show a lot - total guilty pleasure I have to admit!

I would like to see this in London as have wanted to watch for a while. If Boe does come over and open I might wait for a cast change. Alfie does have a fabulous voice but after watching clips of him performing Neverland on US breakfast shows I'm not sure he'd be my first pick for the lead I'd want to see, as someone said his operatic voice isn't what you imagine especially when you listed to MM in the OCR recording.
Obviously it's horses for courses so for some they would love to see him in the role.

'Set sail on an adventure'. Ahh they were some of the lyrics to the old incarnation of the show. Wouldn't be surprised if Jersey Boys moves to a smaller theatre.

My ideal cast would be: -Ramin Karimloo as JM Barrie -Louise Dearman as Sylvia -Kelsey Grammer as Hook/Frohman

If this does come to London, and I hope it will, another name that has just come to mind who I would like to see as Sylvia is Emma Williams.

Really? Interesting. I can't say I'm sad about that. Without doubt the worst thing I've seen all year. Just bizarre on so many levels.

The transfer had been pulled. Hurrah! WHAT?!? Seriously? Absolutely devastated, this is one of my favourite musicals of all time. Do you have a link? Did some searching but can't find anything.

Oooh okay then. I don't want to be mean to anyone's favourite show, but out of all the shows that have been rumoured to transfer, this is the one I could personally do without the most. Maybe a great cast could entice me back, but it'd have to be stellar because honestly I've never been more disappointed in a show in my life, and I know others also feel this way. But then... everyone has different tastes and evidently some people love it, so there you go.

It will never fill the Palladium with Alfie or anyone, just especially Alfie. Its not LM. It could do well at a 1200 seat theatre not bigger.

If you look back on my various posts, you'll see I reliably revealed many things- including both Funny G and Dreamgirls going to the Savoy before anyone else announced it. And at no point was my opinion that SS would not be back based on any 'insider info'... It was my own personal feeling about the situation and in that instance I was glad to be proved wrong. If you consider me to be so unreliable, I'll not post any titbits I have of news/rumours etc. . The transfer had been pulled. Hurrah! This coming from the guy who was convinced Sheridan wasn't returning, as though he had inside info... yup, reliable.

Did you not read what I said? I know people who were due to work on it but are now finding other work for next spring.. But yes, if you want to say it's going to the palladium then enjoy that. Coming to the Palladium I hear.

It's a horrible musical that romanticizes an abusive relationship, it should never open here.

True, but that doesn't mean it should go without being said.
However, perhaps I've succeeded in scouring this musical from my brain, can someone remind me who is in an abusive relationship with who?

The point is that the musical doesn't show at all how the Barrie- Llewelyn Davies boys relationship really was and (like the movie) makes a Disney hero out of a creep.

Just seen this:
If the show wasn't going ahead in London I don't see why they would provide this response. Surely if the show wasn't coming to London but they hadn't announced that they would have just ignored the message and not responded?

Well maybe they are jus getting rid of people initially scheduled to work on the show.. Seems odd though.
It will totally flop here. It will be madness if it does arrive. It's not terrible but it's really only a 'Meh' show.

I agree it's a great number, and Laura MK delivers it sensationally. It's a shame the rest of the score is so rubbish "All That Matters" is one of my fave MT tracks ever.
