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.

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.
