Finding Neverland to London Palladium

According to a not so cryptic tweet from westendproducer

Bums I spelled Palladium wrong but don't know how to correct it. Off to bed.

From the curve to the palladium?! Seems a bit of a leap, I'd imagine it dieing a death there

According to Weinstein, it's a massive production with big, spectacular sets and musical numbers.

Does anyone know who the other creatives involved in the show are?  Set and lighting designers?  Orchestrator?

You can also hear a song from the show (performed a good few years ago by its composer) if you search YouKnowWhatTube.

Lighting Designer is Neil Austin, i.e. Betty Blue Eyes amongst many others

Set Designer is Scott Pask who did the broadway set design for 9 to 5

Orchestrator - Bruce Coughlin
Musical Director - David Charles Abell

It's billed as a musical comedy on the new artwork, which is a bit worrying as the movie is definitely not that. It has humour but it's definitely not a comedy, especially the ending. I'll be hugely disappointed if they have changed the movie that much

I too thought that about the poster billing. I wasn't exactly rolling around laughing when Slyvia died.

Thanks for the info guys.  Given this creative team, I'm sure it will look and sound fantastic.  And I'm sure they know when to rein the comedy in for the more sensitive moments.

In the same article in the Mail on friday (Baz Bamigboye)as news about Rock of Ages, it is quoted that Charlie and the Chocolate factory is definately going to the Palladium and not Drury Lane so Finding Neverland will have to go somewhere else if it does come in from Leicester.
