The Telegraph is reporting that Katie Holmes has been offered the role of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies in a musical version of Finding Neverland. They are saying that the role was not offered to Kate Winslet, who starred in the film and that she “lost out” on the role.
They are also saying that Katie has been taking part in a workshop in New York for the musical. The workshop centers on Sylvia’s relationship with J M Barrie, who she inspired to write Peter Pan.
The Broadway show is expected to run later this year and will also feature Christian Borle as Barrie.
A rep for Winslet has confirmed that she will not be in the musical, but adds that she does indeed have a good voice and can sing quite well.
Finding Neverland is one of my favorite movies. I would love to see Katie Holmes play the part of Sylvia Llewelyn Davies.
