Overview
- Webber said Bailey would be great as the Rum Tum Tugger in Cats if the performance felt suitably anarchic.
- He added that Bailey "looks pretty Phantom like" and floated him as a potential Phantom of the Opera.
- The remarks came in response to Bailey naming Rum Tum Tugger as his dream role in a Heart radio exchange.
- Webber praised Bailey’s work in the Wicked film as "really brilliant" and said he would love to work with him.
- No project or casting has been confirmed, though Webber recently noted a Phantom film remake is being discussed and prefers casting an actor in their 40s; Bailey is 37.
