I'm sure they'll go for a much bigger star than Borle -- especially because, by the time this happens, his NBC connection will be a distant memory. He was pretty bad (because of miscasting) in Sound of Music and I would imagine they'll want to have some new faces anyway.

It's such show-y roles and not difficult to sing that I am sure their wish list is chock full of stars (ranging from Kelsey Grammar to Tom Cruise to Hugh Jackman).

It would be great if they cast big names as Hook, Tiger Lily, etc and gave Peter to a real Broadway pro (aka, Sutton Foster or maybe Matt Doyle?)

If they want a name with real chops, Kristen Bell also seems pretty ideal for Peter, unless they are set on getting a guy.
