Ramin Karimloo Houdini Musical put on hold

Ramin Karimloo is currently appearing as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre in London’s West End, he has a new album Ramin due for release in March and then he is doing a concert tour in May. He is also shooting two films this year and hopes there will be further touring of his album to North America.

All this means that the musical adaptation of Houdini he was producing and starring in will not now be happening as he simply doesn’t have the time. It is a new musical which has a book by Hadley Fraser who is in the Sheytoons band with Karimloo

The timing is also wrong now as there is another musical production planned for Broadway starring Hugh Jackman (who is currently in the UK playing Jean Valjean in the Les Miserables movie due for release at the end of this year).
