School of Rock The Musical London opening before the end of the year ?

Baz in today's Mail is reporting that Andrew Lloyd Webber's West End production of School of Rock - The Musical, previously announced for a May 2017 opening  at the New London Theatre, might be opening  before the end of this year.

Andrew Lloyd Webber told the Mail We're looking into whether we can get into the theatre in November. But we're by no means confirmed.I would say there's a 40% chance of it happening this autumn.

He is still on the hunt for the role of 'Dewey Finn', currently played on Broadway by Tony nominee Alex Brightman. School of Rock - The Musical opened at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway) on Sunday, December 6, 2015. It will launch a US tour in autumn  2017, playing coast-to-coast engagements across America..
