Seeing these rumours on WOS, seem plausable, anyone heard anything?ROA move to Duchess? Finding Neverland or Burn The Floor to fill Shaftesbury?

Its true ROA is moving to Duchess in Feb. Burn the Floor will play for a limited run. Memphis is set to move in from May.
Finding Neverland is still saying they are heading to The Palladium... Even tho Baz says the rumours of Charlie moving to Drury Lane are untrue, its almost a fact to many folk in the West End. Odd...

Im more worried about Finding Neverland now, the Palladium seems so big for what is quite an intimate story plus the whole 'Musical Comedy' aspect on the poster, Im wondering if this will be far removed from the movie which would be a shame.

Its going to a tight squeeze getting RoA into the Duchess and losing almost 1000 seats in the procrss.
As for Finding Neverland, I think it needs a smaller theatre like the Savoy or if it fit The Duke of York's as that was the home of the first production of Peter Pan.

Rock of Ages started on Broadway in the Brook Atkinson theatre with 1069 seats and moved to the Helen Hayes theatre with 590 seats.
I saw it at the Helen Hayes theatre and it works perfectly!
But I can imagine that there is a big difference between the Duchess (479) and Shaftesbury (1400)

I'm unsure whether it'll work at that theatre,the only musical to have done a long run at the Duchess was Buddy and that did 18 months.

I have seen Rock of Ages in both New York theatres and the show is a good fit in both, however if ROA was to move I would of thought the show would of gone in a theatre a tad bigger than the Duchess.
I don't doubt they validity of the rumours of Neverland coming to London, but where did they originate from? The show hasn't played one song yet and it is confirmed to be coming to London already?
