It won’t be him. He has a terrible reputation for missing shows after his woeful attendance record for Aladdin.

If they're casting along the lines of the movie he is perfect. Broadways leads were miscast in many ways. Christian needs to be and look young, naive and idealistic. I think Rob would be great casting. I couldn't disagree more. He's nothing like Ewan McGregor was in the film! Christian needs to be 6ft at least. Would be really weird to have Satine taller than Christian. Rob is more choir boy, than romantic bohemian. Love him to death though. I'd marry him. I'd like to see Alastair Brammer in the role or Oliver Savile.

Can you imagine his ‘Come What May’? Maybe twice a week? No thank you.
Houchen in a high boot after two months henching and roiding up, or yes I could see Oliver Saville too. Or someone sh*t off of Hollyoaks.

Or someone sh*t off of Hollyoaks. High boots? He'd need stilts. I wouldn't be surprised if they stunted this with someone with no experience. Also, why are we thinking Liisi is coming over for Satine? She could easily be coming over for La Chocolat. Hmm. Just tell us, theatregods!

Wait. I've got it. Jamie Muscato. The definition of vanilla. Like Lucie Jones - sings like a dream but absolutely nothing going on in the face.

If they have cast Dean John Wilson as Christian I will legit be asking for a refund on my £100 ticket 😂 Then you're stupid. Dean John Wilson is glorious. I'll take it off your hands haha. If it's him I'll take £100 off you happily - no one needs to sit through that but you go right on ahead 😂

He was excellent in Heathers, certainly had alot going on in the face for that. He could really adapt to the role of Christian, I think it would be interesting.

Putting this performance here for interest as this song is in the show. Rachelle Ann Go, Rolling In The Deep. It gets going at 2 minutes.

In that case we need everyone camped out at the major rehearsal spaces to get a march on Baz.
“Well I saw Ruth Madoc coming out of Battersea Arts so she MUST be in it”
…but I saw Dev from Corrie at Pineapple in shell suit bottoms and a split soled dance shoe. I think we’ve found our Satine. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Dean John Wilson tweeted earlier about having exciting news soon so guess the rumour earlier in the thread about him being in this could be true....not as Christian surely? Can it?!

Feels unlikely to me. As Santiago perhaps or even as Toulouse-Lautrec.

Looks as though Liisi Lafontaine (Dreamgirls) is coming over here for it, and I imagine she’d be playing Satine. Don’t see why she’d cart over her for any other role? Judging from her and her friends Instagram stories last night there was a send off party for her, and one of her friends posted a picture of a cake, of which was a moulin rouge playbill saying ‘Piccadilly theatre’ She was good in dream girls, so excited to see her here! do we know if she’s in london cause she would need to be if rehearsals were starting this week?

She is, she was with Gabriel Mokake (currently in Frozen) on her Instagram stories the other day.

Truly if it is Dean and Lisii as Christian and Satine...we've been short changed here.

I suspect most people will book because it's Moulin Rouge and not who's in it.
Could Dean John Wilson be playing the Duke rather than Christian?

Jamie has just joined the cast of Les Mis so I rather doubt he's involved here.
