Hairspray is far too small for the Palladium but it makes sense as its the same producer as The X Factor.

Hairspray Is not coming back... Get over it!!

[Little Bear]

Hairspray is in planning to put it in as a 3-4 filler at the Palace after SINTR leaves!

So is commitments delayed again then as that was due to open in october?

Stage ens produce sitr, hairspray and X factor, so it's in their hands what happens.

Heard that it will come in depending on contracts and cast. It might have a few months off after the current tour and not be a x mas filler but might go in start of 2014 after tim rices new project and do a longer run before going back on the road.

A new musical with original songs (mostly, by the sound of it).  What's everyone's problem?  Any other time you're all jumping up and down about how we should support new British musicals... even when they are a pile of crap!

Personally I don't jump up and down about new British musicals, I couldnt care less what nationality they are as long as they are good.

For me i dont like X Factor, dont like Harry Hill, therefore it holds no interest. And with the dwindling interest in Xfactor with the general public, and also Simon Cowell (and his shows) slowly falling in popularity (his latest cooking show on itv is a bit of a flop) I wonder if the public are now too savvy to his manipulation of media and the public. I cant help think this should have been done a few years ago

X is set for the Palladium in Spring.

Description on London Theatre Guide:

A Musical comedy. A Musical comedy. Goes behind the microphone and under the judges’ desk to reveal the (not necessarily accurate) story of heartache and laughter. Meet Chenice who lives in an ITV blackspot because her Grandad’s iron lung interferes with the signal in her caravan, and the only girl in the world who has never heard of The X Factor. When she accidentally stumbles into the audition queue with her talking dog, she starts a journey to both stardom and love.
