They could've kept Jeremy — Page 2

Jordan has made it pretty clear in his interviews just what happened regarding Neverland, and at the very least it appears that Morrison was being told that he was a sure thing for Broadway, while Jordan was strung along until the very end with the possibility that the job could end up being his. They promised Jordan a pre Broadway London run of the show in order to get him to do the A.R.T. run, when in retrospect it seems that London was never part of Weinstein's plan, despite public declarations to the contrary. At any rate, those who say that the job was always Morrison's are correct, but it seems pretty certain that Jordan was told something that led him to believe that it was not a sure thing. Anyway, Jordan seems to be doing just fine, and Finding Neverland, despite it's over the top press releases, will have a difficult time setting itself apart from the many shows opening in the spring. It remains to be seen if Weinstein's strategy has been a correct one, but it does appear that he has placed himself at a disadvantage by not having a leading man that can be prominently featured in promotional opportunities up to this point. Some continuity from the A.R.T. run would have been helpful, beginning with the Macy's parade.

They could've.

They didn't.

And yet his career goes on.
