During 2018/2019, so many new exciting musicals are either starting their tour or continueing their tour.
“Bigger” Shows On Tour:
Wicked Les Mis Motown Matilda Kinky Boots Shrek Jersey Boys Doctor Doolittle (New Production) Bodyguard Rock Of Ages
(Feel free to add to the list if I’ve missed any)
What shows should go on Tour?
I’ve got a few ideas : School of Rock, Aladdin, Dreamgirls
what are your ideas?

For Peter Pan, The Twins FX could do some amazing effects!

There aren't that many pantos to pick from. Cinderella - Done Dick Whittington- Done Aladdin - On in town already Snow White Jack & the Beanstalk Peter Pan Sleeping Beauty That's about it for the Qdos stable? Don't think they do a Mother Goose or Babes in the Wood. They might do Babes in the Woods because it has been performed many times at the Palladium back when they did panto regularly. Maybe the are following old traditions?

Do you think there will ever be a UK/Ireland Tour?

My main thought of why I don't think it'll be Peter Pan is that Qdos are doing it in Birmingham next year. Not impossible, but would Michael Harrison do the same show for his two flagships? I'd put my money on Snow White - the only reason I'd put that ahead of Jack and the Beanstalk is that Jack has just been done in Wimbledon - I don't think Snow White has been done close to London this year? (Happy to be corrected!) Churchil Theatre Bromley did Snow White this season - quite close to London...

I just feel like the page in the programme screams out Peter Pan!!
If it was going to be Snow White wouldn’t it be a red colour (it’s blue now) and would have castle/mirror in the background?
Also, Cinderella was quite plot-heavy!

I have a VERY strong feeling that tha Pantomime for 2018-2019 is Peter Pan. The page in the Dick Whittington programme announcing the pantomime will be returning had a giant moon behind the Palladium with fairy dust all over the page. Very strong hints? This is a wild guess, but I predict Paul Zerdin will get scrapped and maybe Matt Terry will be Peter? Before the live show when Matt was on the X Factor, the producers had to pull him out of peter pan production he was going to do. He has a great voice and would suit the part! What do you all think?
