No, in a 'the way touring theatre works in this country is absolutely broken and doesn't work and basically isn't worth the stress regardless of how good the role is' kind of way Exactly. And with the rising costs of living in London, and having to try and rent out your existing home or room to cover that residency while you're away, it's less feasible now than it ever has been. Many friends (including leading players in the industry) have turned down touring roles that they've created in the West End because by the time you take into account the pay problems coupled with the horrific standards of available accommodation that were reported over the past few years, it's just not worth doing because of the stress involved.

Matt will be good, to be fair. He's got that "cheeky chappie swagger" vibe to him and a great voice.

The score is very "pop" too, so will likely suit his voice. I wonder if no Lance means a bit of stunt casting?

I’ve seen Matt Cardle in all 3 of his MT ventures and thought he was great in all of them, so very happy with his casting.

I saw it during the Manchester tryout. I like Jordan Luke Gage but wanted to see it again when Tom Francis was cast, to see someone with a different take on Romeo, but could never get a dayseat.
Only familiar with a couple of the cast but I remember liking both Jack Danson when I finally crossed Mamma Mia off the shows-I-haven’t-seen list, and Jordan Broatch in Anyone Can Whistle. Will have to try to see this.
