Richard E Grant Doubles Up on Musicals???
Richard E Grant is, if the rumour mill is to be believed, going to be in not one but two shows at the same time next year. Not likely! But has indeed been tipped for two separate and seemingly simultaneous projects. Word is he’ll star in the £4 million Ben Elton-Queen musical, We Will Rock You, which is due to open at the Dominion Theatre next May. At the same time, the Withnail and I star is also reportedly being courted by choreographer Susan Stroman and producer Michael White to star in the London production of Broadway dance hit, Contact, which is currently lining up a West End venue for next year. If he appeared in the latter, Grant would take up the role of an advertising executive whose lonely existence is transformed when he meets a mysterious woman in a yellow dress.
