Quick question.

 

I know the part’s going to be traditionally cast. 

 

But if someone like Chris Colfer – who has a really high voice – got the role, 
would the music still have to be reorchestrated?  Also, since NBC’s footing the 
bill, the cost wouldn’t be an issue.

BTW I’m surprised Colfer isn’t in the running; Glee’s cut the number of 
last-season episodes in half and he would be available.

 

A couple of other comments:

 

Beiber would never get the role -- because there’s not much evidence that he 
can actually sing, I don’t think.

 

Another reason HWCNBN would never get the role – in addition to being too old 
and otherwise occupied – he’s over six feet tall and is actually a big man.

Peter Pan played by a man means having to transpose a lot of music, probably 
having to reorchestrate much of it, and creating problems with any duets or 
group numbers Peter is a part of. Good luck to them.

They've already said that Peter's going to be a man.  I have the feeling that 
this time they'd like to avoid the wailing and gnashing of teeth of the 
Broadway World and All That Chat show tune queens, so I don't see Bieber as 
Peter.

Any chance for some non-traditional casting here? Peter played by a boy? Justin 
Bieber? He who shall not be named? Joan Jett? (Hell, NBC already plumbed 
"American Idol" and country music for their Maria. And their Mother Superior 
was an African-American woman -- albeit, a Broadway treasure. Clearly, the net 
will do anything to insure a big audience,)
